TV TALK

Earlier this week, the Guardian had a piece about actors who've replaced another actor in a TV show (or film series). Has a show you liked recast a role, replacing the original actor with a new one? Did this affect your enjoyment of the show? Does it make a difference it's a minor or recurring character role that is recast vs that of a central character? Does timing matter? Is it easier to accept a recasting if it occurs early in the first series vs during later seasons? Have you ever wanted to recast a role in a show you liked because you weren't keen on the actual actor and thought someone else would be better suited for the role?

[WARNING: the linked-to article may contain what some would consider to be spoilers (e.g. if you've not yet watched the show being discussed, or haven't reached the point where someone was recast), so read at your own risk, etc.]
