Stockard Channing as Elizabeth Taylor... We can see that. Brian Cox as Marlon Brando... Definitely possible. Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson... Wait, what? But it's true: the younger Fiennes will play the King Of Pop for a new one-off comedy for Sky Arts.
While you're still busy sorting the many questions rolling around your noggin about how this might be possible, allow us to elucidate. It's planned as a half-hour story based on the accounts of a road trip that Taylor, Brando and Jackson were supposed to have made from New York in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. With flights grounded, they were apparently attempting to get home to California by driving themselves. They made it as far as Ohio.
It all sounds like the sort of story that would cause Pinocchio to grow a nose long enough to overbalance the wooden lad, and while it comes from a report in Vanity Fair published in 2011, there has been at least one conflicting report of Taylor's whereabouts at the time.
Still, it could make for the most unusual programme we'll see this year, drawn from the keyboard of writer Neil Forsyth, best known for his work as Bob Servant, who would routinely correspond with would-be scammers and produced the book Delete This At Your Peril detailing his experiences. It's part of a series of comedies about unlikely stories from arts and cultural history that Sky will be running this year and should be on screens later in 2016.
