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.

Oh god. I'm in lockdown with a 1 year old so apparently I'm getting rescued by Peppa Pig 🤦🏻‍♀️

If it's the last thing I chose to watch. Jean Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise.

Please be the thing I chose to watch. If Peppa Pig turns up I'm staying with the kidnappers

HMSSophie · 27/04/2020 16:43

I'm definitely saved by Walter White - for the time being

Escape to the Country!

I'm sure Alistair Appleton could win over any baddies with his lovely calm manner and charm! Not sure he'd be up for any fighting though!

Inspector Montelbano

It's always sunny in Philadelphia. I imagine id be hidden in Frank's squalid flat

Carrie Mathieson (Homeland), I’m going to be A-OK once she’s dragged me out whilst shielding me with her always loaded gun.

I feel like Alastair has a core of steel Milk

SodaSodaBanana · 27/04/2020 16:48

Gangs of London. It would be a gory bloodbath rescue with fatalities, fast driving through central London and Joe Cole putting in his weird upper class accent.

littlejalapeno · 27/04/2020 16:48

Peppa Pig🤦‍♀️ Although perhaps my kidnappers would be intimidated by a 14 foot tall pig?

MinkowskisButterfly · 27/04/2020 16:52

Last thing I caught a glimpse of (ie. kept turning round every so often as it was playing in the background whilst I worked) was special victims unit - think I will be ok with Olivia trying to rescue me!

The last thing I actually sat and watched was Salvation, I would have rogue CIA, people from the Whitehouse (not Trump or the likes thank god - actual normal people!) , and a possibly thinly veiled tv version of Elon Musk and a band of world class scientists.....possibly be ok!

TheySnackin · 27/04/2020 16:53

Dog The Bounty Hunter!! Yesssss!! Duane Lee can throw me over his shoulder any day!

MrsBuckette · 27/04/2020 16:54

@Fanthorpe I dread to think how it ends for us 😱

TooTrueToBeGood · 27/04/2020 16:57

In the Night Garden - we've got DD and 2 DGDs staying with us for the duration. I don't fancy my chances if Iggle Piggle and Upsy Daisy are my last hope.

notsureneversure · 27/04/2020 16:58

I watched “When Boris met Dave” this morning. Jesus Christ.

fussychica · 27/04/2020 17:00

Parkland - film about Kennedy shooting and hospital he was taken to. Several stars in relatively small roles but could be Zac Efron (doctor) or Billy Bob Thornton (FBI) so might stand a fair chance of getting out alive.

notsureneversure · 27/04/2020 17:00

I’m doomed, aren’t I? I mean really. I’d be better off with Iggle Piggle Sad

ThatsWhatHeroesDo · 27/04/2020 17:01

It depends, Andy's Safari Adventures was on in the living room but I didn't actually watch it. Andy seems a useful sort though. The last thing I actually watched was Extraction on Netflix, so I am absolutely getting recused by Chris Hemsworth('s stunt double) but there will be one hell of a body count.

ThatsWhatHeroesDo · 27/04/2020 17:01

notsureneversure you're fucked alright

CaffeineInfusion · 27/04/2020 17:04

Outlander. Jamie Fraser for me🤣

AndSheSteppedOnTheBall · 27/04/2020 17:06

I was going to say Iron Man, but then I remembered we watched an old episode of Seinfeld afterwards, so I’m screwed.

marshmallowkittycat · 27/04/2020 17:08

At first I thought the last thing I'd watched was a David Tennant era Dr Who, great, provided I'd been kidnapped by aliens or something.

But oh no, I watched bloody Thomas and Friends this morning. I'm screwed, unless it's Cranky crane or Diesel 10 rescuing me.

Isesgirl · 27/04/2020 17:16

James May!! I'm happy with that. He will be able to construct something from anything lying settings wherever we're being held and will scatter the conversation with innuendo whilst we build it. Also he just might have naked pics of Richard Hammond...

Isesgirl · 27/04/2020 17:16

*lying AROUND!! soz.

GarlicSoup · 27/04/2020 17:17

Homelands very own CIA agent Carrie Mathison will be rescuing me, singlehandedly with her trusty shoulder bag and pistol. I’ll be home by teatime Grin.

ellanwood · 27/04/2020 17:20

Ooh I get hunky Chris Pratt who will whack them with his baseball bat and Brad Pitt who will throw furniture at them because that's what he does when he's cross. (Moneyball)
