TOM HIDDLESTON
Captain Nicholls, the officer who buys Joey and takes him to war

In the screenplay Nicholls is described as a "handsome, modest, upper-class man" when he first appears knowledgeably inspecting Joey at the livestock auction. With that as a starting point, Hiddleston read Siegfried Sassoon's first volume of autobiography to research the life of a gentleman soldier at the start of the 20th century.

"These guys were amateurs, they knew how to ride but weren't professional soldiers in the way we understand now," he says. "They were innocent and ignorant, confronted by the new technology used by the Germans. It was men with swords against machine guns."

Hiddleston, 30, had ridden "inexpertly" on "big old western saddles" in America, so had to get used to a different style of riding. "There is nothing like the feeling of galloping at 40mph on a living being." His improved horsemanship came in handy in BBC's forthcoming Henry V: "It's nice when the director asks me to gallop up that hill and I can just go off and do it." Last year, he displayed his versatility as the villain Loki in Kenneth Branagh's Thor and F Scott Fitzgerald in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.

BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
Major Stewart, the dedicated cavalry officer

An extraordinary run continues for Cumberbatch. In addition to establishing himself as a modern Sherlock to be reckoned with in the hit BBC TV series, he was also a key member of the lauded cast of last year's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy movie.

"To go to work every day with such high-calibre actors was a joy," he says. "I had to pinch myself, raise my game and get on with it. And when I got a call to meet Steven Spielberg, it's just the same – stiffen the sinews and be on your mettle, though he's such a relaxed man that you feel very cared for."

Cumberbatch, 35, has since returned to the trenches for a five-part series based on Ford Madox Ford's Quartet, written for the screen by Tom Stoppard and co-starring Rebecca Hall.

"I nearly got blown up by a device the other week," he says. "With War Horse, and now this, I've spent quite a lot of time immersed in the Great War recently, but you never quite get used to imagining how it must have been for men my age 100 years or so ago, thrown into this horror. It's a duty as an actor to respect their memory in a way, and you do feel an almost patriotic pressure to get it true and right."
