* Do you see what I did there?

Something slightly different

The casting sheet for 'Alien' with some interesting alternates - Tommy Lee Jones, Harrison Ford, Christopher Lloyd, Martin Sheen... and Dennis Waterman ("probably the best") and John 'Thor'!

Good call

It may be, but I presumed it was supposed to be John Thaw
