They also considered Nicolas Lyndhurst, Rik Mayall, Nigel Planer, and Angus Deayton.
They made the right choice with Alan then. I've had issues with Planer in the past...
I can't see any of them playing the part right. Jonathan is unique - a bit humble and a bit of a geek, and he had to be a character who would put up with Maddie - they chose her first apparently. Rik Mayall appeared in one episode as a detective, and he was brilliant, but I can't see him as Jonathan. Nigel Planer might have been able to do it, but as you say, you have issues with him.
Sounds like House with Cuddy. House is a detective series.
Mind you, House did shag Cuddy.
