So out of curiosity, who could you picture in the roles? Here are my thoughts...

Moist von Lipwig- John Barrowman
Stanley- David Mitchell (Been looking for a Discworld character for him for ages)
Adora Belle Dearheart- Tamsin Greig or Selma Blair.
Groat- Bob Hoskins for some star power or David Jason because he enjoys the roles so much.
Reacher Gilt- Mark Mitchell, I saw him on "Round the...

Monstrous Regiment. It has it's redeeming qualities. It looked like a very good book, during the first third of it. It had good particulars, the little things that Pratchett is very good at.

How did Mr Fusspot propose? The passage seemed ambiguous as to what Mr Fusspot actually did.
