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!

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.
