"Minister For Loneliness", the Movie

Tweet

I read the post by @Kandae11 post about the new British idea and as I went to sleep last night, the screenplay began forming in my sleepy brain. The cast? Well, Hugh Grant came to mind if we want a male. I can see him, fumbling and befuddled, wondering exactly what his brief is for the job. It would turn out, of course, that he is lonely too, perhaps a widower with a darling little girl. Hmm..who would we cast for the romantic interest? Mayebe Cate Blanchett? Now, if we want to have a woman as the new Minister for Loneliness, could we do better than Judi Dench or Helen Mirren? Whoever we choose, the script is bound to have them puzzled, at first, anyway, and then set off on a course of action to solve loneliness in their country and inspire similar appointments the world over! I know that @Wordazza will have some ideas here and I hope that other myLotters suggest cast members and script twists.
