Ooh, Sydney Wade (Little Girl) was in Marchlands two months ago. She played Alex Kingston's character's daughter. :D

Eek! I had even thought in passing Morgan Sheppard hadn't done Who, in the midst of everything else he's done.

I think it's cool that William M. Sheppard is the father of Mark Sheppard. Talk about continuity, lovely.
