....if she ever quits.
Anneka Rice
Advantages - When she was in 'challenge Anneka', she would have had plenty of practice running around abandoned castles looking for clues to obscure puzzles
Disadvantages - She wouldn't have four stiffs giving her the answers over the intercom in Tomb Raider, and I don't think she and Zip would share much on-screen chemistry.
Charlette Church
Advantages - It's very rare you find someone who can compete with Lara in both finance and breast size
Dis-advantages - Her lack of maturity might initially condemn her to an unexciting sequal slicing up pigs with Von Croy.
Dawn French
Advantages - With the miracles of modern CGI, surely even porkies like Dawn can be seen to be walking tightropes and shimmying up drainpipes. Good thing too, because she is a good actress.
Disadvantages - It isn't yet standard procedure in the NHS to include steak and kidney pies in their medi kits.
Avril Lavigne
Advantages - Anything to get her off godamm MTV!
Disadvantages - If the plot from TR1 was ever transferred to the big screen, Miss Lavigne might have trouble bringing herself to shoot the sk8ter boi
The woman who plays Betty Eggleton in Emmerdale.
Advantages - Our Betty has a talent for gossiping, and I've heard that such a skill will soon come in handy around the streets of Paris and Prague.
Disadvantages - Might have to leave the film set at irregular intervals in order to go home and check that Seth hasn't blown the house money down at the bookies.
The cheeky girls (either one of them)
Advantages - If one got injured, the other could take over and no-one would notice.
Disadvantages - I don't think the phrase 'touch my bum' would be a sensible thing to say to most of the goons Lara bumps into.
Carol Vorderman
Advantages - Despite recently admitting to only getting a third class degree at university, Carol would surely be great at diciphering all those ancient manuscripts.
Disadvantages - Being a Leeds dweller, I'd have to risk bumping into Richard Whitely at the cinema if Carol were to become Lara. The thought of the 50 something countdown presenter hunched at the back of an Odean auditorium with a bag of popcorn and a cheesy grin, is enough to put me off TR movies forever.
The woman who plays Hayley Cropper in Coronation Street.
Advantages - In these Metal Gear inspired days of action adventure, Hayley would surely bring a new meaning to the word 'stealth'.
Disadvantages - Chris Barrie would be too nervous around her to play his part with a straight face
The woman who has Wyclef Jean under contract in the mobile phone advertisement
Advantages - Like Lara, here is a woman who sees what she wants and gets it
Disadvantages - Her casting could alienate all male viewers with a pulse.
Boudicca
Advantages - History would argue that this woman was the most kickass female warrior of all time, killing hundreds of men during a decade long revolt aginst tyranny. If scientists could figure out a way to clone her, she would surely make a striking Lara Croft.
Disadvantages - Took her own life when the odds got too stacked up against her. If Lara had done that in the pyramids then we wouldn't be getting a 6th game.
