British television is known for many things. EastEnders, Wossy, late night movies on Five starring Shannon Tweed.

It's also received a fair few nods for its high concept sitcoms - Britcoms, if you will.

So what if Hollywood suddenly took note and embarked on a mass remake-athon of the best of British? We dare to dream...

Dinnerladies

Dream Director: Quentin Tarantino

The Plot: Potboiler drama in which a group of canteen workers at a high rise insurance company debate the laws of love, lust and popular culture amidst the beef stew and pan scrubbing (“Twilight is all about sexual repression in an age when having an STD is akin to getting a tattoo,” know-it-all Brenda (Page) blathers).

Then, when a criminal mastermind raids the 50-storey building, it falls to this clan of cleaners to use their initiative (and all manner of bladed kitchenware) to escape with their lives – and their hair nets.

The Cast: Meryl Streep, Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, Amy Adams, Ellen Page

One Foot In The Grave

Dream Director: Sam Raimi

The Plot: Victor (Caine) and Margaret Meldrew (Dench) have been married nigh on five decades and have the war wounds to prove it. But when Victor kicks the bucket, Margaret realises that she can’t live without him.

In desperation, she attempts to raise him from the dead using a cursed mummy hand she got down Spitalfields market. Miraculously... it works! But Victor comes back not quite right...

The Cast: Michael Caine, Judi Dench

Next: Spaced, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme
