Neither - Ewan is too pretty these days. Sean is too beefcake.

Tom Baker too old.  I like Ian Holmfor this.

Jane Horrocks - yes yes.

No Miranda would make a better Bellatrix that Kristen Scott Thomas - 
she can do nasty psycho (check out her take on Elizabeth I in 
Blackadder as a psychotic child)

Kathy Burke - see her portrayal as Mary Tudor in the Kapoor film 
Elizabeth.  Very toadlike.

Try Alison Steadman - I once saw her in a comedy as an utterly 
unscrupulous tabloid journalist - perfect.

Jane Horrocks could do this one as well.

The guy who played Bridget Jones new boss in the Diary movie - can't 
remember his first name, surname Pearson - just the right amount of 
smarm.
