Am I the only one that thinks that a US version of Summer Wine would have glorious car-crash potential!! I was reading about the new series being commissioned and laughed to myself thinking what would happen if the American's had a go at it.
Just wondered if anybody fancied playing creative and coming up with a few characters for the US Last Of The Summer Wine. I'm thinking maybe Robin Williams is getting up there in years and might be eligible shortly.
What do we think?
Last of the Summer Scotch
Pacino, De Niro and Stallone plan a small con as their social security checks don't pay enough to fund their biscuit habit. Pacino, the geriatric mastermind of the group, attempts to convince goody-two shoes De Niro to use his position as part-time florist, to put less-that-the-requisite flowers in each bunch and the sell the remainder on for cash on the black dahlia market. Hilarity ensues and Stallone ends up riding the Subway rails in a bath.

I love the image of Stallone riding down the subway in a bathtub! Screaming "Adriaaaaan" as he goes!
It's already been done on the Kevin Bishop show.

It wasn't funny there either.
