I got five questions from bratty_jedi
1) This seems to be the question of the meme in these circles so I have to ask: favorite Cabin Pressure episode (or top 3/5/whatever if you
can't pick 1)?
I'll go for one from every season: Fitton, Gdansk (tie with Limerick), Ottery St. Mary's and Uskerty. It is hard to choose but those are all really hillarious but (except perhaps Gdansk) also have really sweet moments between the characters.
2) What is your favorite Doctor Who and companion combination?
My first instinct here was Five/Tegan/Nyssa, the next to yell 'but' and mention all the others I also love (Four/Sarah-Jane/Brig, Nine/Rose, Two/Jamie/Zoe) but I think I will go with my first choice. I have already talked about my love for Five and Tegan a lot and I admit that Nyssa won't ever make it in my favourite companion-list (not that I dislike her, but I also don't love her) but I do think that the relationship between Tegan and Nyssa was really sweet and unlike some other teams the relationship between the companions wasn't overshadowed by the Doctor/companion-relationship.
3) What is your favorite fictional detective (or top 3/5/whatever) in any medium: TV, film, book, radio, whatever?
This is a horrible question for somebody who's been reading/listening detective-stories since...always. So I'll try a top five detectives/teams.
Ivo Batic/Franz Leitmaier, Tatort München. For sentimental reasons (I can't remember not watching their episodes) and because they still have good stories and don't always go on about their private lives.
Sherlock Holmes. Do you have to ask? (Fun fact: my first contact was an audioplay version of The Hound of the Baskervilles, I got from the library, the ending was slightly changed, with Mortimer commiting suicide after screaming 'rather the moor than the gallows!'...I must have been about six and was both terrified and fascinated)
Inspector Lynley/Barbara Havers. I already wrote about their relationships a while ago in the female characters-meme. Apart from that they're cases are also fascinating.
Cadfael. Again some sentimentality. Those were among the first 'grown up'-crime-stories I've read and they will always have a special place in my heart, despite their slight cheesieness.
DI Chandler, Whitechapel. The series is beautifully crazy and while Chandler clearly has issues (lots of them), it doesn't get rubbed in your face and it also doesn't feel like a riddiculous amount. (Besides I'm always happy when shows treat something like OCD as a serious issue and not just for comedy...)
4) What would your dream career be?
*sighs*...I wish I knew. I don't even have a proper 'I'd love to do that if I didn't have to worry about money'-idea. Currently I'm trying to figure out what exactly I want to do. I did a course on 'jobs in publishing' and also one about working in libraries and found the libraries a bit more interesting but I haven't gotten any further.
5) What is either your earliest or your most clear and vivid memory?
This one will be...odd.
German elections 1994, I was in the car with my parents and they were listening to the election-results on the radio. The news that Helmut Kohl had one another term was greeted with a 'Shit' (because my parents always had a hard time remembering that bit about not swearing in front of your children...at least when politics was involved)
I was six at the time...there might have been things that happened earlier but that is one I can conveniently look up the exact date on Wikipedia XD. I have some other's but they are less coherent and I'm not always sure if I just think I remember them because somebody told me/I saw photos.
