Carol has replied to Anne saying she is shocked that Anne would cancel her flight after promising it. Anne has told her that she gave her no option .
Both Barbara and I have messaged Carol saying that she has behaved badly and should apologise to Anne.

John Challis as Dick

GabsAlot · 20/06/2019 17:17

David Jason is way too nice play Dick definitely someone like Challis

EggysMom · 20/06/2019 17:22

Yep, must agree, I picture Dick as John Challis!

wizzler · 20/06/2019 17:25

Maggie Smith as the villa owner?

Dexterslockedintheshedagain · 20/06/2019 17:30

Stephen Graham as the taxi driver, Ivan?

Jojowash · 20/06/2019 17:46

Sounds like he's really the puppet master, she'll protect him TIL the cows come home. That's her issue. He's always been that way and he'll always be that way. To find out he booked flights as soon as Anne bought her the ticket, sounds like she didn't have much say on the matter.

She needs to learn to stand up

NeckPainChairSearch · 20/06/2019 17:46

John Challis as Dick

Yes.

Otherwise, Soola's casting is good. I'd like to see Penelope Wilton as Barbara though. Judi, Penny and Brenda would be great together.

browneyes77 · 20/06/2019 18:01

Well, I have been invested in this for the past few days and can lurk no longer. I am absolutely amazed at the sheer cheeky fuckery of these two!!!!

I think Anne has handled herself extremely well and you two have had her back.

Poor woman shouldn’t have to put up with this stressful shit, but here’s hoping you 3 have a great holiday with no more drama!

I’ll still be sitting here with my popcorn watching for updates though Wink

prettybird · 20/06/2019 18:09

Penelope Wilton for Carol? Wink

prettybird · 20/06/2019 18:10

Sorry NeckPainChairSearch - hadn't seen your suggestion when I posted Blush

LittleAndOften · 20/06/2019 18:11

Jim Carter as Dick for me. Patricia Routledge as Carol.

Julie Walters, Celia Imrie and Pauline Collins as the three musketeers!

CoraPirbright · 20/06/2019 18:22

Ooh Patricia Routledge - that’s inspired, LittleAndOften!!

Soola · 20/06/2019 18:29

Plot twist

Sean Bean as the pilot who invites the three ladies into the cock put after putting Dick in a head lock and locking him a cupboard after Dick kicks off mid flight.

Jux · 20/06/2019 18:29

Delurking too.

Oh I do hope the 3 of you have a fab time with no usurpers!

If Carole and Dick do get the flight, I wouldn't be surprised if Dick feigned some sort of rapid onset illness at the Spanish airport, forcing Anne's innate niceness into helping, which will lead to sharing a taxi.......

If they do go, they will still try to force the issue. Be warned.

Poor Anne, her lovely relaxing holiday has been tainted, but you and Barbara can keep her safe and make it even more fun, I bet!

Soola · 20/06/2019 18:33

Anne is a little overwhelmed when they finally reach the villa. But look who is their next door neighbour!

Hugh Laurie waves over the fence to them as he is a doctor taking a break in the villa next door and offers to check Anne over to make sure she’s ok!

Dowser · 20/06/2019 18:41

Rob Brydon would make a great Dick
I’d have op as alison steadman
Anne As Judi Dench
Barbara as Julie Walters

And drum roll
Ness from Gavin stacey as Carole

Where do I buy a ticket to watch this

DoctorDread · 20/06/2019 18:49

Wow. Just caught up on both threads! Cheek fuckery like we've never seen! Well done Anne for her stalwart approach. I hope you all (minus Carol) have a lovely holiday!

AguerosAngel · 20/06/2019 19:11

Also delurking to say you ladies, Anne especially have handled these CF’s perfectly.

I’m absolutely astounded at Carol and Dick’s antics, they’ve behaved disgracefully, and there would be NO way back from this for me.

I hope you three ladies have a perfect holiday, with lots of sun, wine, giggles and best of all, NO DICK! 🍆

HeronLanyon · 20/06/2019 19:14

Could we have a local taverna owner played by George Clooney who shows interest in the lovely (and recovering) Anne ?

SlowLiving · 20/06/2019 19:26

Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge as Dick!!

StCharlotte · 20/06/2019 19:39

Can Villanelle (See what I did there?) Be in the film? She could solve the Dick problem once and for all. Disguised as a flight attendant...

edsheeranpaidmoretaxthanccola · 20/06/2019 19:40

What a strange, entitled pair!

DoctorDread · 20/06/2019 19:46

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 20/06/2019 19:54

Are you going to Spain? I've cast the role of the local tennis coach who's offering lessons nearby...

Binglebong · 20/06/2019 20:08

Hang on - you can't make this film and not cast Julie Walters in it. OP can be played by Julie Walters.

No no no! Brenda Blethyn is perfect. I'm thinking Saving Geace style. And her man in that can be the policeman who gets rid of Dick over a cliff. I'd go with the suggestion of Julie Walters as the owner. And George Cloony as Anne's new love interest.
