Okay Freddie Fox as Lord Peter, Dev Patel as Charles Parker, I can get behind this. Now who is playing Harriet, Bunter, Mary, and the Dowager Duchess of Denver? We need a full cast!

All right. Here we go. My completely unrealistic A-list for my unlimited budget adaptation. I would, of course, be happy to expand justifications, but I believe *coughs modestly* that these speak for themselves.

Jessie Buckley as Harriet

John Light as Bunter

Nell Tiger Free as Lady Mary

Emma Thompson as the Dowager Duchess

Olivia Colman as Miss Climpson

Max Irons as Gerald

Roger Allam as Sir Impey Biggs

Guest starring Harriet Walter as the Warden of Shrewsbury, and with a special appearance by Steven Mackintosh (I will cast him as a Wimsey, so help me) as Uncle Paul.
