A meme. I've seen it twice so apparently that means I have to do it

Pick five of your favourite shows, in no particular order, before you read the questions below, then answer them!

1. Doctor Who
2. Merlin
3. Life on Mars
4. The Mighty Boosh
5. Spaced

01. Who's your favourite character in 2?

What? How do I even… How? All right, well fine, then. I’ll say Merlin because I say, “awww” proportionately more for him than any other character. (Sorry, Bradley.)

02. Who's your least favourite character in 1?

River Song. I’M TRYING, OKAY. I’ve been trying FOREVER because it feels wrong to me to dislike ANY Companions. It’s just…it feels like she jumped straight in with absolutely no background or any sort of real, apparent affection for the Doctor and we’re meant to believe they have a very long-standing relationship. I hope when she comes back that it’s near the first meeting and we get to see some proper relationshipping. Even if we are meant to feel as uncomfortable with her as the Doctor, I just didn’t BELIEVE that she acted in any way like she was the Doctor’s wife. More like a sort of fan.

03. What's your favourite episode of 4?

I wish I’d seen all of Season Three… Um, I’m a big fan of Nanageddon, if only because of the enormous Saboo and Tony Harrison conversation. And I’ll always have a soft spot for The Legend of Old Gregg, it being what got me into the show in the first place.

04. What's your favourite season of 5?

…There are only two. And they equal each other in excellence. I’ll get back to you once I own it and have watched it forty times.

05. What is your favourite ship in 3?

FFFFF. Um. Prooobably Sam/Annie, if only because it took me SO LONG to even see Sam/Gene. And the wifeswap episode was made of cute. LOL U GAIZ, MY FAV SHIP IS SAM/CHRIS. -_-

06. What is your antiship in 2?

AHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAH.

07. How long have you watched 1?

Since 2005, sort of. When I really got into it was around fourth season. I was actually ON THE PHONE with Marion while the season three finale played on the TV. FOR SERIOUS. I was actually talking through all the Simm. After that, I showed the whole series to my friends, though, and started ACTUALLY watching it properly. I’d missed Family of Blood and Human Nature the first time through, so that was good.

08. How did you become interested in 3?

…I think maidm wanted me to see it? NO. OH I KNOW. Back when it first came out, it played on Showcase and I saw the commercials for it and was like, “Sam…as in Beckett? Tyler…as in Rose? PLUS DAVID BOWIE AND EVEN MOAR TIME TRAVEL? *TO THE SEVENTIES*?!?!?!? THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW EVER, HOLY CRAP. I MUST SEE IT. And then, because I have the attention span of a goldfish, I completely forgot about it until I found it somehow later and went, “Oh, hang ON! The Master’s in this!”

09. Who's your favourite actor/actress in 4?

I love Richard Ayoade. Seriously, every time Saboo’s on it, it makes me very happy.

10. Which do you prefer: Show 1, 2 or 5?

Well, I am clearly most obsessed with Doctor Who. Hands down.

11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?

Percentagewise? Because I’ve seen 100% of Life on Mars and about 16% of Doctor Who. And in actual episode count, I’ve STILL seen more Doctor Who than Life on Mars.

12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?

Naboo. He seems to have his shit together.

13. How would you kill off your favourite character in 1?

…Constantly? If I get what I want this finale, he’ll be killed by the Master.

14. Give a random quote from 1?

“Have you thought up some clever plan, Doctor?”

“Yes, Jamie, I believe I have.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Bung a rock at it.”

15. Which character from 5 would be a good guest star on 2?

Uh. Maybe Tim? He’d be the most likely to know how skewed the entire story was and it would be worth it just to have him try and explain to the characters what they ought to be actually like.

16. Would a 3/4 crossover work?

….The styles are COMPLETELY different. Then again, Gene bashing his way through the world of the Boosh has a certain appeal to it… STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME WRITE FANFIC, DAMMIT.

17. Pair 2 characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.

(I’m upset that it’s not letting me do Donna/Tim, which I ship thanks to kinkmeme shenanigans…) Um…there’s a very large list of people to draw on. The Doctor/his own angst is probably canon. How about Donna/Master? Unless by ‘strangely okay’ they mean it would LAST. Or be HEALTHY. Shut up, I like it. This is too hard. River/Jenny. Uh… Eight/Martha. I’m done.

18. Has 5 inspired you in any way?

I feel no need to ever “grow up”. So there.

19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4?

I…But I love them both so much! All of these shows, actually, I love for their cast and I’m not very good at judging between actual acting ability. I believe it. That’s all that counts to me… It’s very LIKELY that the Boosh has a better cast.

20. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5?

Spaced…does it even really HAVE a theme? I seem to remember there being film over the credits, and the opening title just being that: a title. Whereas I can sing the Life on Mars theme. So.
