Some silliness that started on Twitter. Twitter is good for things like this, especially late at night. What crossovers between different television and film properties would we like to see. Forget Dr Who meets Star Trek when The Doctor joines forces with Starfleet to defeat an alliance of Daleks and Klingons. We can surely be far more creative than that.
Eastenders and The Blob
Because who doesn’t want to see the entire cast of the world’s most annoying soap opera eaten by a giant alien blob from outer space?
Later with Jools Holland and Night of the Lepus
Mediocre indie bands attacked by giant carnivorous rabbits. With a soundtrack of boogie-woogie piano. What’s not to like about that?
BBC Question Time and The Teletubbies
Because Tinky Winky, La-La, Dipsy and Po will always make more sense than Nigel Farage.
The Clangers and H.G.Well’s War of the Worlds
With the aid of the Iron Chicken, the comet-dwelling pink rats build a fleet of tripod war machines and lay waste to Woking. Did you know each tripod has a Clanger sitting in the cockpit and aiming the heat-ray?
Crossroads (the legendary 70s soap opera) and Crossroads (the Robert Johnson blues standard)
Starring Stevie Vai as The Devil’s guitarist, scaring the life out of Benny.
Neighbours and Saving Private Ryan?
(The Neighbours cast play the Germans of course…)
My brother has a theory about why some Neighbours’ plotlines were so ludicrous. There were two teams of scriptwriters, both of whom may have secretly loathed the show, responsible for alternate weeks. Both teams would try to set each other up with a “Now get out of that” at the end of Friday’s episode.
Today In Parliament & Texas Chainsaw Massacre?
’nuff said
The Great British Bake Off & any low budget zombie apocalypse film
Urrr, what’s that in the cake? And you’ve got a soggy bottom too.
Trumpton & Predator
Now there is a question, who is most dangerous? Maybe one Stabcon we’ll find out.
Predator would be no match for Captain Snort and his men!
A Clockwork Orange and Charlie Brooker’s Screen Wipe. Just for giggles.
