After taking the baton from JOE.ie and hot-footing it over the Irish Sea, we pick five more spin-offs we’d love to see.
Obviously, JOE.co.uk is up there with Frasier and Cheers; Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul in spin-off successes.
And we absolutely hope that we’re no Joey or Hollyoaks Nights (like normal Hollyoaks, but more soft porn).
We’ve bashed our heads together and have come up with a list of suggestions from politics and popular culture we want to see:
Ant and Dec/Peep Show
The Geordies all grandmothers secretly fancy get the Peep Show internal monologue treatment, and we get to see into their dark, twisted minds:
Ant: “Oh, good. Duncan’s got no pants on again, man. Ahh really wish my eyes had really been shot out with paintballs all those years ago.”
Dec: “I wish that soft lad would take his troosers aff in the hoose, like. Makes me well edgy, seeing them fancy pants aaalll the time.”
Cameron and Clegg: Men Behaving Badly
Post-general election, the PM and his dogsbody deputy Nick Clegg move into a south London bedsit and squabble over the washing-up and FIFA.
Constant struggles follow as the pair battle their desire to live a ‘new lad’ lifestyle whilst running the country. Hilarious ‘bantz’ ensues revolving around beer-drinking and farts.
Football, Rugby and Tasers
Combine the best bits of football, rugby and a device to deal out thousands of volts of punishment to create a new sport – Oh, wait: This sport is ALREADY A THING.
May we present to you; Ultimate Taser Ball
José Mourinho/House of Cards
A Machiavellian football manager enters Portuguese politics and schemes his way to the top, blaming all and sundry for his ailing country’s mishaps. Sound familiar?
Got any more suggestions? Then let us know @JOE_co_uk
