Yes, Dean O’Gorman and Keisha Castle-Hughes will be back. No, Dean O’Gorman’s Hobbit beard won’t be.

Dick Heads: The entire cast of the Hobbit
He may be playing a dwarf in The Hobbit, but you can probably tell that wasn’t typecasting for Richard Armitage, given how tall he is in comparison to the rest of the cast. See how many you recognise in this slightly blurry cast photo: I’ve spotted Sylvester McCoy, Andy Serkis, him off The Almighty Johnsons, him out of Being Human and Peter Jackson. Can’t see Sir Ian, Christopher Lee, Martin Freeman, Cate Blanchett, him off The Matrix or Liv Tyler (is she even in this one?), but maybe they’re hiding behind that plane.
Don’t forget to write a haiku if this inspires you in some way.
Got a picture of Richard Armitage’s head, preferably wearing a hat? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Dick Heads” gallery.

A nifty Almighty Johnsons poster
Okay, it’s for the second season so a bit old now and Battlestar Galactica got there first, but it’s still pretty nifty (click on it to make it bigger). The first season is being repeated on the UK’s SyFy channel from next Tuesday, so give it a try if you haven’t seen it already – Norse gods reincarnated in New Zealand so what’s not to like? – but you’ll need to wait about four or five episodes before it gets really good. No word on a third season yet, I’m afraid.
