you know the character Lesley was dating and kept calling her and other woman Pumpkin,the guy that played him the 1st time had Dark hair and brown eyes and was there at start of wedding,then in 2nd episode being on the same day he is there played by a different actor but with blonde hair and blue eyes.I don't mind on occasion changing actors but could of least resembled him a'bit at least!even if the actor was ill they could of sorted it better

The 2nd wedding episode was the same day in "Brush Strokes" time but it was really the first episode of the 3rd series and was made & screened a year after the first wedding episode.

People move on. Maybe the first actor was busy, maybe he had died, I don't know

Stuff happens

He isn't one of the main characters so it isn't really very important to the story. He doesn't even seem to be in the on-screen credits

Steve that's not the point really ,like I said I have no problem them casting different actors for some of the characters like Lesley.But the fact he didn't have the same hair and eye colour was just lazy on their part.I know he isn't one of the main characters but was in 2 other previous episodes played by the same actor!It's also for continuity there are people that are employed to do that
