Diamontopoulos would agree with that as an alternate ending. “How scandalous would that be?” he notes. “How cheeky would it have been if they had actually done that, if they had actually had Pam Beesly, a homeless woman who had evolved into a strong, independent woman? How cheeky would that be for Brian?”

“That would be fucking amazing,” he declares. “They really missed that opportunity, come on.”
