You’ve been kidnapped- rescuers are in last film/programme you watched

Who is coming to save you and how do they do it?

I’ve been rewatching New Girl. Jess and Cece stage a cute distraction involving hats whilst Nick and Schmidt snuggle me out of the air vents, just as Winston and his cop buddies arrive. I recover by cuddling Furguson and playing True American in the loft.

You could set Eddie on the kidnappers @Charley50

Really enjoying this thread, I'm in the middle of series 2 of Lucifer so would be fine.

I am greatly entertained at the number of people being rescued by Martin and co from Homes under the Hammer - at least there would be an appropriate soundtrack while the rescue was carried out! Grin

I watched Fantastic Beasts so it's Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander
Should be fine there. Plenty of magic and amazing animals. Nifflers and Bowtrucles!

I watched Blaze and the Monster Machines last (I have young DC), so I'll be fine. They will use some kind of physics/engineering and turn Blaze into whatever is needed to rescue me.

StrawberryIceQueen · 27/04/2020 15:38

The Property Brothers Brother vs Brother (or whatever its called)

Maybe Jonathan and Drew can renovate my bathroom after the rescue.

elaine26 · 27/04/2020 15:43

Classic casualty so at least they can help if I'm injured

NaviSprite · 27/04/2020 16:01

Well the last programme I watched was Peppa Pig with my DTwins this morning! But considering Miss Rabbit has EVERY job including a rescue helicopter I secretly think she’s a badass Grin

I’m playing FF7 the remake as well currently so for any fellow nerds I’ll have AVALANCHE coming to the rescue, there’d probably be a lot of explosions....

After Life; I call out "Brandy! Help me! I'm down the well!", the dog is two miles away in Ricky Gervais's living room but hears me and finds a way to lead Ricky to the well. Unfortunately, at that moment the kidnappers appear brandishing a gun, but Ricky tells them a touching story about his dead wife and they burst into tears, pull me up out of the well and apologise. We all hug.

Frazzlesandacoke · 27/04/2020 16:20

Twin. Not convinced I'll be rescued at all seeing as the local police failed to notice a murder had happened and the wrong body at the autopsy. Not much conversation for me either seeing as I speak zero Norwegian.

Lessstressedhemum · 27/04/2020 16:23

Outlander, so I'll be just fine. Jamie Fraser can rescue me any time😍

derxa · 27/04/2020 16:28

Tipping Point. Ben would smarm them with his charm.
Bad Teacher Cameron Diaz would distract them with her short shorts and her cunning plans

Lovelydovey · 27/04/2020 16:29

Elsa, Ana and co. I think I’d stand half a chance!

TheChippendenSpook · 27/04/2020 16:30

Phineas and Ferb! I think I'll be fine Grin

sqirrelfriends · 27/04/2020 16:31

Brooklyn 99. I'll be ok, eventually.

MrsBuckette · 27/04/2020 16:31

Gangs of London. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing 😬

Chesntoots · 27/04/2020 16:32

The Detectorists....unless I am buried with a hoard they will never find me! Actually, even if I am buried with a hoard I don't fancy my chances...

JaneJeffer · 27/04/2020 16:33

Outrageous Fortune. Think I'll be ok. Bette Midler and Shelley Long will set me free all whilst running around in high heels.

PenguinsOnParade · 27/04/2020 16:34

Manifest. Might not be too bad, depends on the callings.

30daysoflight · 27/04/2020 16:35

Eggheads hahaha

Bloodylegoeverywhere · 27/04/2020 16:36

Sons of anarchy so I think I will be ok ...😆

JaneJeffer · 27/04/2020 16:37

at least there would be an appropriate soundtrack while the rescue was carried out!
Grin that's a whole other thread

Fanthorpe · 27/04/2020 16:38

@MrsBuckette me too, I think we’re not surviving the process...

squiglet111 · 27/04/2020 16:39

Last watched Men in Black so happy that Will Smith will save me 😊

countdowntonap · 27/04/2020 16:39

Ooo, Netflix’s ‘Toy Boy’. Definitely fancy getting rescued by these...

Zisforstripyoss · 27/04/2020 16:41

Technically it would be the animals at Longleat. I think they'd do an ok job if they worked together.

Humans would be the teams from Race Across the World.

I think I'd prefer the animals, tbh!
