On 09, 2008 8:14 DLC said they had 3 goes at casting it and eventually went
back to the first attempt, suggesting they were not that pleased, and I
thought someone else also commented unfavourably, although I have not kept
all.

He also said

"closely followed by Chicago's superb C#" so presumably that is the answer.
