Basket Case Britain's Christmas[2] getaway is shaping up to be a remake of Planes, Trains And Automobiles, the glorious 1987 movie that features John Candy and Steve Martin[3] being thwarted in their every attempt to get home for Thanksgiving[4]. Their flight from New York to Chicago[5] is cancelled, then diverted to Wichita, Kansas[6]. They buy train tickets, but the locomotive breaks down, stranding them in a field in the middle of nowhere.
