Swallows and Amazons

[claymore]

Remake of the film is planned - shooting starts in July
I understand Lakey is being cast as Captain Flint, wonder who will play the part of Mrs Walker? It was the Virgin McKenna last time, cannot think of anyone who could give it the same gravitas next time round.

Couldn't agree more about the lovely VMcK! I bet whoever it is they wont have that wonderful fruity authentic 20's accent.

It would have to be someone who has qualifications in baking, recently qualified as a day skipper, has a knowledge of Windermere's sailng conditions, can act 'posh' if need be and possibly call into use her newly-acquired motorcycling licence.

Aquaplane's grandson, 'The boy' could possibly play Roger.

Beyonce.

 

[Lady_Stormrider]

Nope - Beyonce is pencilled in for Blackpool's Central Prom for July - she's the support act for The Grumbleweeds.

PaulineB would fill the seat!

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

....and Deleted User and MikeJ could play the charcoal burners with some style!

 

[claymore]

This is going well
We are short of a John, a Susan and a Titty.
Added to that we need a nurse and a baby, a Nancy and a Peggy
Any suggestions?

 

[Penton Hooker]

Jordan for Titty?

 

[CoVianna]

Seajet for John!

 

[billmacfarlane]

Jenny Agutter would fit the bill nicely.

 

[claymore]

I was rather taken with her inthe Nun's outfit.....

If I am being Captain Flint, I will push for Jessica Ennis as Mrs Walker.

John will have to be played by a serious naval-apprentice type so either tcm or Nathan.

 

[Fantasie 19]

..wonder who will play the part of Mrs Walker?

Kelly Brook....

 

[Lady_Stormrider]

Could Matt Lucas reprise his role as 'George Dawes'

Nope Kelly Brook is busy this summer hosting 'Celebrity Antiques Roadshow' - a tie in with the Beaulieu Boat Jumble.

Bags I Dick!

Mrs AntarcticPilot could do Missee Lee.

 

[Burnham Bob]

Dick, Titty.........how long before this thread gets pulled by the propriety bot? As for the suggestion about Katie Price appearing, a friend of mine was disappointed to find that a week in Jordan was actually a holiday........

Only one of the kids in the 1974 film have gone on to reasonably successful acting careers (Susan, played by Zanna Hamilton). Compare with the kids in Harry Potter: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint; all starring in new productions.
