I hear Emma Thompson is not after all going to reprise the role of Frasier's first wife Nanny Gee as seen in Cheers. The part in the final series is to be played by Laurie Metcalf, best known here in the UK for her part as Jackie in Roseanne. This follows Dina Waters playing the role in Frasier in the 'Don Juan' episode.
Laurie is going to have to go some to match up to Emma's performance, which is to be repeated next Wednesday Lunchtime on Channel 4, and is well worth setting the VCR for.
