British Forest Gump

[Gromit]

So obviously there the American one.
There's also a Korean kinda Forest Gump movie (Ode to my father) whose historical set pieces would mean nothing to us.

If there was to be a British Forest Gump which bit of British history would you choice to insert him into? (One choice per post please)

We need one war. So I'm placing him in the Falklands.

Making comments to John Lennon and Paul McCartney about how he had no problems Yesterday or the sad fate of his great aunt Elenor Rigby?

The bit where he's on a chat show with John Lennon should be replaced with him on Parky with Rod Hull and Emu.

To really put the boot in, you can have him play crucial roles at key points of your country's post-imperial decline.

Not sure a 20 minute riff on him being the last Governor General of St Kitts and Nevis would have main stream box office appeal...

You could reference the 'Lieutenant Dan family introduction' scene by having several of a supporting character's ancestors being killed in different wars in Afghanistan...

Isn't there a Carry on Doctor where Sid James gets trapped on a tropical island with only a jigsaw puzzle of Queen Victoria for company?

 

[A380]

Part of the Para drop into Port Said during Suez?

I don't know but of course there would have to be a section where he appears in a Cary on Film. Probably as one of the first Foot and Mouth Highlanders in the final kilt scene of Carry on up the Kyber or the person with the fishing line connected to Babara Windsor's bra in 'Camping...
