- Paterson Joseph: The Marquis de Carabas in Neverwhere was practically an audition for the part.
- Art Malik: he's not as young as he used to be, but he could play the Doctor in Mad Professor mode with impressive gravitas.
- Jack Davenport: he usually plays Everyman figures, but his turn as an obsessive upper-class gay in The Talented Mr Ripley showed a much greater range.
- Helena Bonham-Carter: quirky, intelligent, vulnerable. Put her in a velvet frock-coat and she'd be fantastic.
