I have to admit--Nesbitt's a powerhouse. As much as I still miss Nine, this'd make a third great Who 2005 casting move.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I really like him in Murphy's Law and I've only watched the first half of the first eipsdoe of Jekyll and it's amazing how he can change between the two characters so completely.

He's very different in Cold Feet--kinda goofy and handling the muted comedy well. I am a fan now, despite failing to get the first ep of Murphy's Law that I watched.

Ooo... dunno if this is old news, but I just read in a fan's ComicCon '07 report that Karen Allen has been confirmed as somehow involved in the 4th Indiana Jones movie.

Hasn't Steven Moffat etc denied that they were going to be involved with Who?

Yep. However, that was when Jekyll was first launching, and that turned out to be a bit of a ratings disaster. I do have a friend who works on Who, and to quote them - no RTD, no new Who. Who's still doing very well ratings wise in the UK -- it's finale this year was a good 2 million up from 2005's finale -- so I expect the BBC to keep milking that cash cow.
Also, Cold Feet is love.

Jekyll was a ratings disaster?
Interesting. I have read some unflattering impressions of it over at TWOP.

It premiered extremely well for the BBC, but lost half it's audience for the second episode. Which means network promo worked, show didn't hook the audience. I dunno how it's done since then, in fairness.

One of the criticisms I read was basically that it felt like they were making it up as they went along.
I wonder, for example, how they are going to explain Jackman's incredible resemblance to the man that Jekyll was based on.
