He's so dreamy!

[pontisbright]

Last night I had a dream about Mark Strickson, in which he co-presented a segment of 'This Morning' with Eamonn Holmes. About spacehoppers. And halfway through, shortly after Eamonn had commented that he hadn't changed a bit and had quite nice cheekbones, Stricko mutated into Harry Enfield's 'Kevin the Teenager', complete with dubious 1992-esque dayglo hoodie.

My subconscious is just rubbish. Finally a dream Stricko comes to visit, and is there exciting bondage and naughty ginger fun? No. There's daytime telly and some zits.

(Eamonn was right about the cheekbones, mind.)

In other thrilling news:

* BF audio Omega = work of genius. Consume at earliest opportunity. It will make your head go pop.

* Kinda = really much worse than I remember. The eerie Tegan mindmelt stuff is fantastic, and Hindle is brilliantly nuts (once one bypasses the 'but you are DCI Jack Meadows, wtf?' business), and I quite like the pith helmets. But Adrian Mills in a beach towel is too troubling, what with him being a crazy tribal bloke, and not a git in a suit reading out letters from Mrs Biddulph in Kettering who sent us this photograph of an amusingly shaped vegetable. (Warning: this reference is for Old People only. Youth Of Today, stand well back.)

* All Creatures Great and Small is more wonderful than anything else in the whole wide world. Not least the one where Tristan goes off to shag some nurses do his exams in Edinburgh and gets replaced by Richard Carmody, who turns out to be none other than spooky Marriner from Enlightenment. Michael Sheard's in it as well for full Who crossoverness. And James falls in poo. You can't ask for more than that.

* Peanut butter on crumpets is a meal, right?

Kinda always reminds me of 1980's dental ads. It's that red dye stuff they use to show up plaque that the FX people went crazy with. Plus it also has the greatest stimpy moment ever, with fivey being called an eeeeediot all over the place :P

And James falls in poo. You can't ask for more than that.


Oh come on, they all fall in poo. With varying levels of convincingness. My fave is still the one where Seigfried gets dragged by the bolting horse through a lovely fresh pile of horsemuck :D

I'm still voting for the "Skeleton keys" moment in the christmas ep. Bastard!

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

The oooooooeeeeeeeoooooooo video effects are fab. Give me something you can do with a singly twiddly button and a lightbulb over a squillion quids' worth of CGI any day.

Yeah, it is a bit of a poo festival, really. Like saying 'you know the episode I mean, the one where Tris is a slut and Helen's quite boring and Siegfried shouts a bit'. Poo all round!

Skeleton keys? Methinks I haff not got that far...

Yeah, it is a bit of a poo festival, really.

Ever spent any serious amount of time around a farm? Comes with the territory. And all over the territory.

Skeleton keys? Methinks I haff not got that far...

Chrismas ep. With the room that Siegfried always keeps locked, no one has ever been inside and Tris gets a bee in his bonnet over.... Won't say anything more, don't want to spoil the hilarity if you've not seen :D

hmm... Listening to Eye of the Scorpion atm...Fivey in a high speed chariot chase!

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Am just working my way through the tail end of the first series now, 2 eps to go. When is the Christmas one? I want to know see inside the secret room now dammit!

Chariots, eh? Good-oh.

[taleya.livejournal.com]

"Merry Gentlemen", end of s2. And it's a masterful piece of fraternal bastardry

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

*notes it down for future reference*

I watched that one recently, and was in hysterics over Tris's nighttime shock. :D

[taleya.livejournal.com]

And then Siegfried comes down and starts ranting at him for being an alcoholic...bastard! I was howling.

[taleya.livejournal.com]

ooh, and *poutey eyes*

Cow-fisty icon? *bat bat bat*

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

'Cow-fisting maniac'? Hmm. Will see what I can do at work this eve...

[taleya.livejournal.com]

Yay! *claps happily* Will write you a present :p

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Really? Ooh, goody. *anticipates exciting angst/porn/angstyporn*

[taleya.livejournal.com]

lol...any specifics?

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Oh, the usual ;)

[taleya.livejournal.com]

Hand!porn? Tie!porn? Chess!porn? Queeny pursed-lips Console!porn?

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Ohh, so many lovely things to choose from...

I quite want you to send me more of that lovely angsty argument - but if you happen to feel like bashing away at a shiny new thing...um...

I was watching The Awakening earlier and absolutely pissing myself laughing everytime Turlough was onscreen, because he's just hilarious. And brilliantly jealous of Will. So maybe some jealous!Turlough-related porn? Doesn't need to be anything to do with Will. After all, there's still that bar in Berlin you keep mentioning...

[taleya.livejournal.com]

ooh *samples ideas thoughfully* And yes, i should one day get around to do that certain bar. The Fag Hag comment is too good to lose into the ether..

The mood I'm in, I'd probably end up writing post-awakening fic with Turlough watching the Doctor cleaning up the Malus-goop that ended up all over the console room, hypnotised by the back and forth of his backside before pouncing.

Feeling rather irreverent, I fear. Cow-fisting ahoy!

[taleya.livejournal.com]

Oh good grief, now I have vague ideas of Turlough waiting until they've seen Will off and grabbing the Doctor by the lapels, slamming him against the wall of the console room and growling "mine" before making sure the Doctor never damn well forgets it.

*shakes fist* cuuuurse youuuu

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

WOOHOO! I made there be porn in your head, I made there be porn in your head!

(Please note he'll be covered in sexy wounds from having feebly manfully broken through that door that was already quite broken and he had to get that old man to help too. Just in case you needed further prompting...)

[taleya.livejournal.com]

Depends if you play wiht book canon or strictly TV canon. Fifth did have a few adventures with Will in the books...

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

But he obviously smells!

Ahem. I love Will. He says 'What be tea?' Who wouldn't love that?

Where do Tegan and Turlough go while Five's off on his 'adventures' (ahem) with Will?

[taleya.livejournal.com]

Unsure, I've never really read that one. But I do know it exists :P

[taleya.livejournal.com]

hmm. The Chess idea does have its merits though...you can bet on chess. It should be fairly easy to transcribe the standard betting rules of a chess game from money into a more *ahem* wearable commodity...

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

STRIP CHESS! STRIP CHESS!

*fires up PSP enthusiastically*

Cow-fisting icons for strip chess fic seems an excellent trade, oh yes.

[taleya.livejournal.com]

I've already started writing it...it's perfect! A cerebral activity with added smut. Plus there's the bonus that if you're on a losing streak, there's a far greater chance that your opponent will become distracted, thus changing the whole dynamic of the game...

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Oh joy! What a wonderful thing. Plus we all know the way Turlough likes to toy with his pieces, stroking them with his long fingers like...hang on, this is your job...:P

I'm having crashing computer fun, which is less pleasing. Let's try that again, shall we, annoying software?

[taleya.livejournal.com]

I'm desperately googling at the moment - I've got it set they're playing without the pieces on the board, and I'm far too used to moves like e4, e5 rather than "rook to queen four" and trying like fuck to find an older-school mapping to describe the moves.

In amongst two stripping gentlemen.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

OK, I don't know where my icon-making mojo went tonight, but here, for your delectation, the shitest icon what I have ever made!


Followed by a marginally less shite one:


I think it was all that talk about stripping gentlemen: you were right, most distracting.

If I promise to make less crap ones tomorrow, can I have some strip chess porn, please?

[taleya.livejournal.com]

bwahaha. Badly-smoking cow-fisting maniac at that!

*sticks "UFIA" on "golly" icon...but that's a FARK injoke :P*

[anne-asta.livejournal.com]

And James falls in poo. And Siegfriend drunkenly washes a window with a chicken! Comedy gold!

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Ahh, the chicken window washing...all while he's got a big dent in his bowler hat, bless.

Was Tristan in ACG&S right from the beginning or did he come in later ? I seem to remember he bopped along later on ?

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Tristan appears from the second episode of the first series (which is a corker). I think he's possibly not in some of the later series (I know there's a gap, and then they revived it a wee bit some years later, but I forget when/whether there was a cast change: Calum Buchanan replaces him, maybe?). He does keep nipping off to Edinburgh to do tarts exams, but fortunately he keeps coming back again, in the early series at least.

[violetcreme.livejournal.com]

Of course ! I'd forgotton all about him ! Had a bit of a crush on him growing up I seem to recall, it was all about the glasses.

[spiritedchaos.livejournal.com]

Lets get this right your dreaming Strickson/Holmes RPS?

You can have the part of my subconsious that causes me to dream of running around holding hands with Turlough if you want - I personally find it kind of disturbing.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Strickson/Holmes takes me to a whole new place of weird. Even weirder than one involving Cuddly Bear Eamonn. Eep.

I am pathetic enough to quite like the idea of running around holding hands with Turlough, even if he would probably think I had girl-cooties or something. You're quite welcome to take Kevin the Teenager in return.

[spiritedchaos.livejournal.com]

Fair deal, you'll get the Adric nightmares and the weird dressing up as Four and being tied to the table dreams too though. How does one go about removing subconscious for transfer? Some kind of mind probe perhaps.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

NOT THE MIND PROBE!!!!

Yet more comments.

[anne-asta.livejournal.com]

Oh, and re: your Strickson dream, I never had one, but did I mention to you the guy in the NYC Doctor Who group who accidentally elbowed him in the face and knocked him over? And said elbower was surely the largest and scariest out of a decidedly large and scary group.

Poor Strickson, getting smacked around and turning into Kevin the Teenager.

Re: Yet more comments.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

NOOOO! No one may be allowed to elbow the visage of the lovely ginger one! I trust it was an accidental elbowing, not some deranged fanboy still fearing duckman might make him get rock-droppy again? Tsk.

[wishfulaces.livejournal.com]

BF audio Omega = work of genius.

OMG. The historian in me spazzes magnificently in pure glee every time I listen to that one.

Everyone shows up in All Creatures. Pat Troughton, Nick Courtney, Lynda Bellingham (erm, obviously)...I love the Beeb and long-running shows, the same way I love Vancouver and long-running shows. It's "Where's Waldo?" of telly.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

Icon love!

Didn't know I had Pat and the Brig to look forward to as well as lovely Lynda. What fun:)
