No takers yet for the Blue Line to Wonderland challenge. So, here are some ideas from the Man and me for you to pick from. Or suggest your own:
#1 Young woman embarks on a series of fantasy train journeys in order to escape her hopelessly shallow life as a kooky Boston lawyer.
#2 Beautiful ticket collector secretly admires Harvard professor, but he doesn't notice her until one day she shows him her brilliant new twist on Superstring theory.
#3 Initially dismayed by a positive pregnancy test, Boston career woman learns to appreciate the joys of motherhood.
#4 Unlucky in love nurse finds her life taking a detour when her mother places a personals ad in the paper, while on the other side of Boston, a plumber is trying to change careers. (Actually that's the plot of a 1998 movie called Next Stop Wonderland. No, I'd never heard of it either.)
Come on, you can do better, surely?

ReplyDeleteI like #3. My effort is:-
ReplyDeleteYoung man finds love on Picadilly Line, only to find they're on opposite sides of the Heathrow Airport expansion battle.
A controversial account of the new southern extension to the Tyne & Wear Metro, "Blue line to Sunderland" is a searing expose of political corruption and criminality in the North East of England. A BBC adaptation starring Christopher Eccleston & Gina McKee will follow.
ReplyDeleteAlice Liddell, now grown up, seeks out retired vicar Charles Dodgson and hears his deathbed confession of his past affair with her mother, shown through a series of flashbacks.
Thank you all for your suggestions, although the Alice Liddell one rather disturbs me.
