    Burn Gorman was in Bleak House with Denis Lawson

    Denis Lawson was in the Original Star Wars Trilogy

    Torchwood -> Star Wars (2 moves)

    I'm pretty sure there's other Bleak House-y connections as well.

    Torchwood -> Monkey (2 moves)

    Johnny Vegas was in Bleak House, and starred in the PG Tips advert with "Monkey". Oh, is that not how it works?

    Crime Traveller??!!?

    Of course the most obvious to me is Buffy, with the James Marsters connection.

    Ok, Burn Gorman was in Bleak House, alongside Liza Tarbuck. Liza Tarbuck was in Extras, which starred Ashley Jensen. Patrick Stewart was also in this (plus starred with her in Eleventh Hour), so that's ST:TNG. How many moves does that count as?
