Personally I think he'll make a brilliant Bill Sykes - he's short, yeah but when he acts menacing - he is scary, fanastic actor. Mind you, I'm glad that Jodie won because I can't see Jessie (or Sam) being able to act against him, whilst I think Jodie could pull it off.
Bill Sykes Is Cast
4 of 4
Ridiculous, arrogant decision to cast before Nancy.
Burn Gorman is NOT Bill Sikes. (lthough I do like him in certain things)

well get a picture of each of them, put them together and see for yourself. In my opinion he looks like her son , younger brother or toy boy. Which isn't the relationship i saw when i read the book.

I don't agree- that's your opinion. Bear in mind this is a SHOW, and there are such things as make up.

It would take a lot of makeup to convince me that Burn Gorman and Jodie are the perfect Bill sykes and Nancy. As i said before if Burn Gorman is Bill Sykes then the critic are going to hammer this show to death, Cameron and Andrew can see that thats why they were hoping people would see that Jessie was perfect for the role. I feel sorry for Jodie if this is the case.

Not yet, but John Barrowman said on the Jonathan Ross show that Bill Sikes will be played by someone we know very well from television, and he looked like he was struggling not to reveal too much. A lot of people have taken this to believe that he was talking about Burn, but as far as I know it's not been officially 100% confirmed anywhere yet, just mentioned in The Daily Mail and TV Quick.

How about you post your picture on here and show everyone what you look like? I very much doubt you are perfect. What a bad, bad loser.
Jodie won, get over it.

again i think jodie will make a very good nancy from what I have seen. I never had a favourite. It is not Jodie I have a problem with. Its the pairing of her and Burn I am not convinced about.
oh and I am no where near perfect!
Burn Gorman is 5'10 which is 2 inches taller than Graham Norton so I doubt that his height will be a problem. He was born in 1974 which makes him 5 years older than Jodie.
He certainly looks like a Bill Sykes type in this photo
