Friendship is... British?

So, there was a discussion in IRC about a British dub of MLP:FiM. This is who I'd cast.

Princess Celestia \ Rainbow Dash - Catherine Tate
Cheerilee - Alex Kingston
Twilight Sparkle - Karen Gillan
Rarity - Nigella Lawson
Big Macintosh - Liam Neeson
Spike - Arthur Darvill
All three of the CMC - Patrick Stewart

Flim and Flam - Matt Smith and David Tennant
Trixie - Alex Kingston
Fancy Pants - Stephen Fry
Braeburn - Patrick Stewart
Pipsqueak - John Barrowman

Do any of you have suggestions for other characters?

Liam Neeson as Big Macintosh, and Doctors 10 and 11 as Flim and Flam...

Our minds wouldn't be able to handle the awesome.

I would have put Chris Bingham as Flam, but still, I agree whole-heartedily with Tom as Flim

I quite like this idea. Good old Tomska and co :D

Discord, for all he's worth, should be spoken by Daniel Day-Lewis, maybe...

And this really new character, King Somber...
I know, he hasn't appeared yet, but I always think of him as the John Hurt type. Awe-inspiring.
