I think the idea of a space ship with Jeffrey Archer at the helm is a bit of a hoot. John Redmond as the token Vulcan. Ann Widdecombe with a bit of make up would be a great Klingon. And Iain Duncan Smioth as an android...Oh yes, with the brain of Maggie Thatcher in a bottle somewhere, like in Lexx.

Americans probably won't have heard of most of these people. Most people in England probably aren't too sure of them by now I suspect.
