A recent excerpt from "The Extra" magazine (a public domain Webzine) about The Lost Prince....
...The all star cast also includes Peter Setterfield who behaved like a complete count whilst giving a marvellously hammy Von Trapp, the renowned twosome Douggie Rae and Dave Toye who almost overcome the challenges of their early lives to play "two idiots next to King" and a scintillating Clive Warren whose "toothless buffoon" would give John Mills in Ryans Daughter a run for his money any day.
The discovery of the drama, however, must surely be the hitherto undiscovered, but exceptionally talented Simon McClean. Not only can he share a wardrobe with Robbie Coltrane (who didn't appear in this film) but his quintessential performance of "Fat person loading for even fatter person with beard" is second to none. His portrayal of "man giving concerned look at King leaving" will surely rank as a benchmark performance for this demanding role.
Michael Gambon was quite good also.
