Ooh thats great news if it's true, he's a great actor, really creepy in Bleak House. Much better than Danny Dyer or Nick Knowles
The only thing is I couldn't see him working with someone like Jodie... he isn't exactly a big bloke. |

A few weeks ago Nick Knowles was meant to be Bill Sykes!

![]() Eeee, I'm actually really excited about this. I do hope it's true. I'd actually pay to see him over most of the remaining Nancies...

Yay! Gorman's a fantastic actor, which means the Nancy is going to have to be a strong actress too. Hmm...

![]() ![]() I hope this is true but it's not yet been confirmed by CM or anyone connected with the Oliver! production team. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one as I think Burn is fantastic.

Burn Gorman as in Owen from Torchwood? Thought Bill Sykes was supposed to be a big menacing sort of bloke - hardly BG!

Can't really see him and Jodie working as Bill and Nancy. He'd need a more diminutive Nancy. Bye Jodie you're not Nancy. |

Daily Mail are usually more accuarte on showbiz news than other papers.
Phoar Oliver tickets are becoming more appealing And the young girls also more suited to playing along side him |

He'll be good and a man does not have to be big to be intimidating just evil at heart.

I don't think Bill has to necessarily be a big man, as long as he's menacing. Gorman's a good actor, he should be able to do the scary don't-mess-with-him act well - and I don't think that he would necessarily not fit with any of the girls based on stature either.

I agree Bill doesn't have to an enormous bloke but I can't see them casting a bigger girl in the role of Nancy. I think she would have to be smaller in height and frame. I suppose this casting explains the departure of Fran and Sarah........ |

I cannot see Niamh as Nancy, end of. She's too young and sweet and all wrong IMO. I don't understand how they thought Sarah was too sweet - which I agreed with - but how this same rule does not apply to Niamh. That just does not make sense. I know Jessie & Sam are young too, but they seem more Worldly IMO. |
