What's going to happen?
Here's my take on what could happen next and how The Joneses could evolve.
Dawn and Ian are driving back home they have the realisation that they have walked away from a crime scene. They get out the car panicking they walk past a tv shop and see their faces on a Crime Watch/American style tv show, next photos of their siblings flash up on screen as they do the word "deceased" is stamped on the screen.
Dawn and Ian read the subtitles
Subtitles:
The pair known as "The Joneses" were last seen heading South in a Purple Ford S-Max the public are warned to approach with caution they are armed and dangerous..
We see security camera footage of Dawn and Ian jumping into the car
..This was found at the crime scene
// a whistle//
Ian:
Hey that's mine!
Subtitles:
This belongs to the male who police are now calling "Whistler Jones"
Ians face looks confused and as he see's these words his lips puckers up to whistle, zoomed in security footage comes back screen of Dawn and Ian (very blurred)
Ian:
I need to shave!
Dawn Calmly pokes at her hair
Dawn:
(Shocked ) Yeah, I need to get these roots done (Points at tv) look at them! Big Brother maybe watching us but at least he could have the descensy to film our best side!
Ian:
We need to go Dawn!
Dawn:
Why? We haven't done anything. It was Cherry!
Ian:
They'll come after you though
Dawn:
Why?
Ian reaches into a tin and pulls out a photograph of Cherry
Ian:
Look!..you're practically the same person!
Dawn:
(Panic)Oh my God! They'll think it's me! (Anger) I'm not doing time for anyone! I don't want to be asked to ( Does air quotes) pick up soap. I've heard what it's like, My Uncle Alan told me all about it, he did time for killing a swan! No no no no I'm no ones bitch!
They jump in the car Dawn in the passenger
Dawn:
Drive Ian, drive like the wind!
Ian:
I can't
Dawn:
Oops I forgot
They both jump out really quickly and swap places
Dawn:
Let's go!
They drive off into the distance
Dawn ( OC ):
Ian, have you always had that picture of Cherry?
Ian ( OC ):
Yeah
Dawn ( OC ):
Why is it laminated?
Ian ( OC ):
Erm it's a kind of like photo stroke coaster combination
Dawn ( OC ):
You've never used it
Ian ( OC ):
Not really
Fade Out
Notes
- The title "Where are The Joneses" could have different meaning
- We could follow two detectives on the hunt for Dawn and Ian in a documentry style
- WRTJ could be filmed like a tv comedy drama and the show could be interspursed with scenes of Dawn and Ian watching the Detectives Documentry
- Having a Documentry revolving around the hunt for two alledged serial killers is ridiculous, but will this be tv in the future? (crack the funny but also make a point)
Anyway, loved the ending to WRTJ, very well done to all the team. Emma and Neil were superb and also that woman who played Cherry she was good too!
