I surrendered Meme

thisbluespiritI've been thinking about this since I talked about favourite memes the other day. And, you know, maybe it's been long enough that we could risk it again? Let's see:
1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...)
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them.
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios and show synopsis that you want.
4. Post to your own journal.
(If you've never played before: warning for potential brain-eating.)

Date: 28 Jan 2014 08:08 pm (UTC)I hesitate, because last time you gave me one of the most brain-eating and brilliant prompts known to man. But on the other hand, you gave me one of the most brain-eating and brilliant prompts known to man (and woman). So, reluctantly and against my better judgment, I surrender. (What else can one do when up against the Evil Oppressor?)
Or, in other words - go ahead, and thank you.

(Feel free to ignore such silliness - it's all my ridiculously over-populated brain could come up with - and if I wait any longer to prompt you, I'll forget all together!)
Bonus points if you include some of MY fave actors as well as your own!

Date: 28 Jan 2014 08:06 pm (UTC)Anyway, this is a little vague as a prompt, but what if there's a literal ghost train network along all the disused/closed railway lines, (of course, incorporating lost Underground stations, too). And the people who know about it and, er, have to guard the secret/use it for stuff/haunt it. Anyway "ghost train network", whatever you can do with that.

Date: 28 Jan 2014 11:22 pm (UTC)After a few hours' thought, my concerns are now more along the lines of "If I have to send all the actors to a different corner of the railway network each week that'll wreak havoc with the filming budget." :-)

Date: 28 Jan 2014 08:37 pm (UTC)I surrender. Probably against my better judgement!

Okay, there is an art gallery where the paintings come to life at night, and of course, some people protecting the secret, and others with more sinister motives. (Or possibly just figures from the paintings at odds, or Oddly Sinister, or whatever. I leave it to you.)

(please don't give me Zombie Sitcom. I was very sad last time this game was played when everyone was getting cool SF and Urban Fantasy plots and I kept getting different variations on "Undead Simpsons")

Date: 29 Jan 2014 08:59 am (UTC)And, aw, bless. You never asked me for one before, that's where you went wrong. :loL: I don't know whether I'll come up with anything interesting, but I promise it won't be a Zombie Sitcom!!

And bonus bonus points for alien invaders, who are in fact alien tourists seeing the sights and unable to understand why humans keep persecuting them while they're trying to land somewhere near the Eiffel Tower. (I might be suddenly liking my own idea too much. Ignore me. Take it your own wicked way and have it been a black comedy or secretly tragic or something. *hands it over and behaves*)
