Particularly looking forward to Celia Imrie and Gregg Wallace - be interesting to see just how much of an East End geezer he really is :-D

Alex Kingston was also Dr Corday in ER as well as Moll in The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders - tthe latter isn't really pre-watershed viewing! ;-)

She has also been in other things

Samantha (Janus) Womack - actress last seen in Eastenders (I also think she represented us in Eurovision once)
Alex Kingston - another actress last seen in Dr. Who
Celia Imrie - great actress
Patrick Stewart - British Shakesperian actor who will always be remembered for the phrase 'Make it So'
John Barnes - ex-Footballer
Gregg Wallace - Greengrocer, now a Z list celeb.
Annie Lennox - Singer and human rights activist - this should be interesting for those who have Scottish relations.

All in all a good mix :-D
