Their Kisses May Be Sweet, But It's Not Right To Cheat...

[rionaleonhart]

My mental screensaver is now Charlie Brooker snogging an adorable furry handpuppet. If I'm not thinking of anything in particular, I'm seeing Brooker making out with a puppet. I suspect this may be the case for a while.

By which I mean that I went to see the You Have Been Watching Children's TV Special being recorded yesterday with causethesounds, anewcitylife and th_esaurus. My

The puppet bit was far too lovely. Watson was quite distressed when he made Mr Fuggles cry. 'I hadn't realised it was going to be such an affecting puppet!'

I would also happily watch an episode of nothing but Brooker interacting with Mr Fuggles.

(No problem! Glad you enjoyed it.)

Mr. Fuggles sounds disturbingly like the meerkats (especially Gladys), this is somehow rather worrying.

There's a connection to that Brooker/Mitchell Life on Mars AU in here somewhere.

The Brooker/Mitchell LoM AU is just brilliant - I mainlined the entire thing last night! I wonder who the author is and whether (s)he will come clean eventually? I do have a bit of a thing for real people being sent into the LoM-verse!

I'm not sure that I could write a Mr Fuggles n Guv n Gladys fic - that, surely, would just be wrong (and ever so slightly sticky...)

Brooker is so adorable. (We were actually discussing this whilst waiting for the studio doors to open: people who are only passingly familiar with Brooker might find the concept of his adorability odd, but he is adorable, as quickly becomes apparent if you pay attention to his work.)

I find the idea of Brooker with kids strangely intriguing, even though he apparently doesn't like children.

The puppet snogging is also now my internal screensaver. Jesus, why is that man.

I think we were all thinking of Brooker/television at that point.

Yes. Yes yes yes.

I have no idea how he can exist, but I am extremely glad that he does.

I love the moments at recordings when we're all sniggering for reasons that make sense only to us.

Men kissing adorable puppets? I APPROVE.

[rionaleonhart]

I can honestly say that 'I wish there were more men kissing adorable puppets in my life' was not a thought that had ever occurred to me before last night, but that was obviously because I was a fool.

Also I did not show you this clip- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWcAaLQpxyw

Hooray! Thank you for assisting in the development of my inevitable man/pseudo-animate object fetish.
