Turlough's Gimp Bed

Adric's bedroom was a nice innocent place. Poster of space. Books. Eighties mesh chair that my friend Simon had. A perfectly acceptable place for a young Alzarian to curl up on a blanket and think about Maths.

Turlough's approach to suitable bedroom furniture appears to have been slightly different.


Ignore, if you will, the pouting air hostess, and marvel.

Surely that can't be comfortable? Though I suppose it is wipe-clean...


In other news, I have been watching Doctor Who: Lust in Space, aka Mark Strickson Presents Something That Will Make Your Brain Hurt. My fandom is on very hard drugs. John Nathan-Turner making jokes about toast! Nicholas Courtney perving on Katy Manning! Some hats that don't fit properly! Plus a photomontage of b&w images of the Turlough/Peri bikini rescue, set to moving music. Stricko manages, when discussing Tegan, to declare 'She arrived in a school uniform, and ended up in a boob tube!' Freudian slip, darling?

Who cares how batshit it is? It has Stricko being snide in it! Hurrah!

Oh, and I was watching Gaudy Night (the Edward Petherbridge/Harriet Walter one) after discovering that my friend had never heard of Dorthy L. Sayers (I know, I know), and it took me two whole episodes to notice it has Liz Shaw in it. In my defence, Miss Hillyard is being played by Robert Hardy in a wig, which was distracting.

But I'm now having the worrying thought that in my brain, a little bit, Fivey = Lord Peter. Which is just wrong.

OK, Peter as Wimsey? *lurves*

And, that is definitely Turlough's room. We saw Tegan's in "Snakedance." The question we have to ask is ... "Why is Tegan lying sexually sprawled on Turlough's bed?"

Haven't seen Lust in Space. Now, there's something else for me to find....

Yes, Tegan's clearly decided she likes him after all. Unless she knows this is the most likely place to find the Doctor...

Lust in Space isn't exactly essential viewing, but it is cracktastic. It gets progressively weirder, to a point where you start feeling slightly faint. I'm still wondering if I imagined the entire thing, to be honest.

I would've just put "CRACKTASTIC" and left it at that. I made the mistake of watching it when I had only seen one or two Doctor Who stories ever. It kind of felt like I had just failed at donating blood.

I'm slightly stunned that you're still here, on that basis. You watched Lust in Space and said 'ooh, that show's for me!'?

*fears you*

I have some sort of disease where I can only really enjoy TV shows that I can't possibly take seriously. Doctor Who will always fall into that category for me, Lust In Space just confirmed that.

...And you really should fear me, I'm the type you see walking down the street having a very animated conversation with themself. ♥

I'm quite often walking down the street having an animated conversation with Turlough at the moment. Memo to self: do not plan fic dialogue in Tescos, k?
