Hi Ian,

I try and avoid Eastenders (it's full of gloom and doom!) but I've seen a few episodes of Ultimate Force where he plays Henno Garvie (sp?)

I've just recently thought that Hoppy could be played by Frank Bruno!

Anybody got a 'fantasy' Saint cast list? :-)

Hugh Jackman - Simon Templar,  Hoppy Uniatz - Frank Bruno
Claud Eustace Teal - John Savident

Patricia Holm could be played by Honey Harman from The Bill, or by Lisa Faulkner (New Street Law)

Haven't thought of any others yet! :-)
