Damn! BBC casting still can find the perfect actors.

Derek Jacobi who can change personality without moving a muscle.
John Simm who can chew the scenery like a mad man. ...Wait he is playing a madman.

Of course the LOEG now has *3* new portraits to put up.

Wasn't Sir Derek adorable? He reminded me a little bit of the First Doctor in that professorial role.

They've already been printed- and shown off at Costume College. ;-)

You might say Jacobi is a past Master.

You might, but then people might throw things at you.

*nods* They had them up at Gnomeward Bound...there was actually a lovely little alcove in the suite where they opted to collect the whole set.

There's a filk in this, isn't there?

Now that you mention it, I remember them.

However, did they have a image of the young master?

[kshandra]

If by "young" you mean Simm, I'm almost positive they did. I know they had Jacobi.

No the child who was looking into the void.

From the voice over, I think it was supposed to be the 8-year-old master who "some run away, some are inspired, a few go mad" as the camera zoomed in on the kid's eyes reflecting the void.

Ah. See, I suck and haven't seen the ep yet, so I didn't know about that sequence. No, there wasn't a child in the alcove.
