This has really warmed the cockles on a rainy Sunday afternoon!

Now who are we casting in the film!

The Sisters. Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, Miriam Margoyles

The Provost. Jason Isaacs

The Locksmith. Timothy Spall

Plucky former students : Jessie Buckley, Emilia Clarke, Florence Pugh,

Will need a backstory so who will be the younger Sisters ...

Anna Maxell Martin, Rachel Stirling, Nicola Walker

And we need a few cameos and additional cast too:

Ian McKellan, obviously!

Eileen Atkins, Julie Andrews, Stephen Berkoff, Celia Imrie, Helen Mirren, Charlotte Ramping, Fiona Shaw, Martin Shaw, Imelda Staunton, Julie Walters, Penelope Wilton ...

Ok, your turn!

And then we need The Hollywood version!

Richard Armitage - good call.

Can we add Andrew Lincoln and Jack Davenport to the cast? I see Jack as the investigator/detective trying to find their whereabouts, Andrew maybe as a legal guy.

Who are we having as the nursing home manager, and other inmates?

Emma Thompson must be there somewhere as well.

Nursing Home Manager :

Adjoa Andoh
Siobhan Finneran
Julie Graham
Sarah Lancashire
Polly Walker

Over to you now MN!

Julian Fellows is probably writing the screenplay already.

I hope so.

No suggestions, but love this- mumsnet at its best.

Thank you Mumsnet!

You have really made my day!

In these dark times it is does literally 'warm the cockles' to read a 'charming' and 'true' story about community, dignity, grace, love, resilience and strength.

So here is a very big cheer to the rebellious Sisters Bernadette, Regina and Rita and to breaking the rules!

Think we better have the lovely Roger Allam too!

Is there a disgruntled local mayor for Toby Jones?

I think Sir Ian would like Roger to be in it too ..

And as requested by @JustGoClickLikeALightSwitch we now have Toby Jones too!

What a most fabulous cast we have!

Can we have Ben Wishaw as the locksmith / man who gets the water/electric back on & creates a replacement heath-robinson-esque stair lift?

Oh yes the lovely Ben Wishaw ...

Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook could have cameos as detectorist on a field trip.

Mackenzie Crook has to be in it ! The hunks all look fine. Subbing Jeremy Irons as the greedy business man who wants the castle and convent - does he own the care home too? Sorry David Tennant. Perhaps he can be a former pupil. Can there be hauntings? Maggie Smith could an Abbess the nuns had when they were children.

Mackenzie and Toby are in!

I agree, Jeremy Irons always plays a most excellent baddie!

This film is going to have a cast of thousands! 😁

Jason Watkins needs to be in it for sure ! !

I think it is now going to be a 10/12 part mini series!

We still have to find a role for David Tennant!

The provost needs some bumbling henchman to try and thwart the nuns’ glorious return- is Hugh Laurie too old?

Oh Maggie ... you are so missed!
