A New York – London flight was diverted to Doncaster and the Christmas film practically wrote itself

Then there were the title suggestions – oh, God, the title suggestions.

Up In T' Air.

#Airplane10? With Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves as the airport traffic controllers?

Add Nic Cage. Call it Don Air.

Title 'Diverted'

Tagline – 'Love finds you in unexpected places'/'This Christmas, love is taking the scenic route'/'It's Sandra Bullock but in Doncaster'.

8 simultaneous stories of different people who get off the plane and have holiday romances in Yorkshire, culminating in them all flying back to New York in 2 weeks. Hugh Grant and Rowan Atkinson definitely involved. Title: Love Yorkshirely

It seemed there was an audience ready and waiting.

I would watch the shit out of this movie. Please write it at once.

Someone suggested a perfect final scene.

Final scene – Sean and Sandra kissing in the snow as the clock strikes midnight on New Years Eve on the High Street outside Intersport to the sound of Pulp – Do You Remember The First Time. Fade to black

Twitter user Jonathan Bliss has this very important question.

Do we get to spend the next 30 years arguing whether or not it really is a Christmas movie?

Just when it seemed that Up in t’Air – working title – had a future, Ben’s fellow columnist, Hugo Rifkind stepped in with some bad news.

Believe it or not, it's sort of already a musical https://t.co/nXCeetpOWm

Oh, well. Looks like Richard Curtis can stand down.
