Continuing the one about Carol, Dick and the “ free “ holiday .

[Oldbutstillgotit]

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.

May I suggest queen daisy as an extra ( possibly with a few words even) for the important ‘villazilla’ aspect. Or script credit.

The mn community as extras on flight scenes obvs. Plus in segue to golf club scenes and lonely sad carol shopping in Lidl scenes.

Plus soolawho maybe should have cinematography role given the storyboard.

We have several casting agents above.

Location is sorted. Even partial dentures have now been sorted (whew!)

Animal handling to the nadal poster above (clearly knows a thing or two about handling).

Travel has been sorted already (!)
Script editing - well many above suggest themselves.

Us casting (Clooney/Streep/tomlin/milder) may I offer to travel to Hollywood/New York/lake como to liaise and explain the concept ? No particular skill but sure I could bring them all on board and expenses covered by mn I assume (oh am i being a Dick there?).

CAtering and wardrobe hair makeup still worrying me . . .
Getting there.

@HeronLanyon I can make some Victoria sponges for catering? Pretty good at them. And some homemade "artisan" pizzas to appeal to the posh Hollywood types?

Well we’re close to going to a studio for finance ! The pizzas have swung it perhaps !!

Ryan Gosling as a slinky hipped beach lothario?
Sam Heughan as hunky beach life guard?

There could be a sub-plot about the pleasant, villa owning acquaintance finally finding romance!

Loving the casting.
MN at its best!

MN at its best!

Indeed. Enid Blyton couldn't do better!

I think we could quite possibly recruit @schadenfreudepersonified to write the screenplay. She’s very talented!

I'm dying to know if Dick and carol have bought a ticket for Carol's cancelled flight and if they'll be on the same flight as the Lovely Ladies

Danny devito as Dick

Hope you ring the airport and suggest Dick has something concealed in his person!

I see Dick as portly, brash, overbearing, sexist, patronising, sporting red trousers and a blazer, with something of the golf club about him. Wears some kind of boys' club members tie and a masonic ring. Probably owns a car dealership or an insurance broker. Keeps a boat moored somewhere posh. Unable to dress casually or for summer.

OMG, I can't believe this has turned into people casting various actors in a film!

I'd go for Timothy Spall as Dick.

I really hope the fracas has pretty much stopped now, so that Anne, Barbara and the OP can go away in peace.

Has anyone looked into a soundtrack yet ?

Sisters are doin' it for themselves ?

Summer Holiday ?

I would watch the hell out of this movie.

I nominate Nigel Farage for the role of Dick (should he fancy a career change).

Having watched this and the previous threads with increasing degrees of face, I would like to offer myself as caterer. I do a mean fruitcake and yummy lamb tagine which goes a long way and would keep a ravenous film crew going for hours.

I would also like to volunteer DS as set security. Any naer-do-wells ahem Carol and Dick will be led away by a determined three year old and forced to take him on the swings and build jigsaws until they flee the scene.

@spudlet I think DS3 needs to be on that team too - providing enforced pirate play services ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. It's enough to make anyone walk the plank!

Can I be an extra in this film? It sounds amazing.

Imelda Staunton can NOT be a goodie - she' always Umbridge in my eyes now...

Surely this man is Dick:

I hope you all have a fabulous holiday OP. Do please update if there are any further developments....this has been engrossing but thoroughly awful for Anne particularly, I’d be advising her to sever ties.

Spudket - could I have the recipe for the lamb tagine and fruitcake please?

Presumably the denizens of Style and Beauty will be in charge of wardrobe and makeup?

I definitely like the idea of DC as security, DS could definitely discourage even the most persistent Dicks by demanding endless rounds of The Wheels on the Bus.

Ah yes-a soundtrack!

I predict a riot (the kaiser chiefs)??!!!

Can I burst into song mid film? Or be the sultry yeah right singer in an underground cave come jazz bar, singing along in the background whilst lovely villa lady is being wined and dined.

Perchance Carol and Dick head could stumble into the bar, blustering and slightly worse for wear on cheap vino. The owner (Cillian Murphy) could have a quiet word and explain that the venue is "for the discerning customer" and politely suggest they find something more befitting. Dick would remonstrate and Cillian would suavely and discreetly nod to the doorman (insert suitably brawny actor) who would steer them out.

Cue Dick shouting "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AMMMM????" before landing on his considerable arse.
