Thatcherphiles - are you happy with the great Meryl Streep playing Margaret Thatcher?

Whilst I look forward to Meryl's undoubtably masterful portrayal of Mrs Thatcher, being a 'leftie', I would've preferred a more appropriate actor - such as Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff...but alas, they're no longer with us.

Seriously though...are you happy with the choice or Meryl? Or would you have preferred a British actress....like Lassie.

Sorry...sorry.

Lassie was an actor, wasn't he?

Helen Mirren might have been born for the part.

Jim Broadbent as Denis will be good (as always)

Alistair Sim would have been a good Denis.

[sandyRoe]

Thatcher's son could play Arthur Scargill

Richard E. Grant as Michael Heseltine? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1007029/

Alexander Roach as the young Thatcher... that'll be just the manger scene, I sxpect.

[Zeuhl]

Lassie was a male portraying a bitch.

So what's the problem?

pah, Alexandra of course

[sandyRoe]

Look whos playing Christopher Soames. He's fat too thin. I wonder is Fred Emney resting just now?

Christopher Lloyd (in Back to the Future mode) for Keith Joseph?

Like your choice of newspaper, but really Is this news?

What was the name of the smarmy one who disowned his handicapped child?

You remove your own credibitly by the way you cannot help but have a go at our greatest ever peace time leader. Still I suppose you liked His Tonyness because he used the parliament act to make your favourite activity legal for you eh? Scum like you are not fit to even debate the great lady.

<<Scum like you are not fit to even debate the great lady. >>

It's good to know that the great traditions of debate and its junior partner 'banter' are preserved and protected in the name of tolerance and good humour by the bloke in the white frock and the coal scuttle.

Our greatest ever peacetime leader (Tony Blair) has already been played to perfection by the magnificent Martin Sheen!

Our fourth greatest peacetime leader (after Blair, Eden and Wilson) deserves some recogni...

Hang on - what do you mean when you say he "used the parliament act to make your favourite activity legal".

Whatever could THAT mean?

[sandyRoe]

When my favourite activity was legalised it took all the fun out of it.
