* The 1988 plan: Sean as The Player King, Lindsay as Rosencrantz… and Tom Stoppard turning director with his own play. The 1990 reality: Richard Dreyfuss and Tim Roth – helmed by Stoppard.

2. – Robbie Coltrane, Cracker, TV, 1993-1996. Creator Jimmy McGovern described his abrasive, eccentric forensic psychologist (is there any other kind?) as beinga wiry ex-Army man with a sense of danger, “a John Cassavetes type.” Which didn’t match Lindsay or Coltrane. ITV was worried that Coltrane was best known comedies – exactly Lindsay’s direction in 2000-2011 for 118 editions of the BBC’s My Family sitcom.
3. – Paul McGann, Doctor Who (The Movie), TV, 1996.
