There is a category on Jeopardy right now called “Literary Letter Drop”
Wherein they change the context of a book by dropping a letter from the title.
You cannot tell me they don’t listen to Cabin Pressure.
I mean, really. “Far From the Madding Crow”?
- CAROLYN: Ah, rot!
- HERC: (sings) Torea-dor, torea-dor. (Douglas joins in) Torea-dor, torea-dor! Or, or.
- CAROLYN: (Over the singing men) Yes Arthur, the answer was wrong. Hell is being trapped in a grounded aircraft, with two middle aged pilots singing Puccini at you!
- HERC & DOUGLAS: It’s not Puccini!
- CAROLYN: I don’t caaaare!
arthur dent martin crieff LOL by ~verilyvexed
I am so down for this cross-over, Hitchhiker’s Guide and Cabin Pressure. I mean, it’s Mrtin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch anyway.
Plus - the hickies on Martin Crieff and the swollen lips? YES, yes YESSSS.
Oh my god, how did I not realise I needed all this awkward adorkable perfection in my life?
somethings related with Cabin Pressure.
Oh my god I want to pinch Arthur’s cheeks in that second one.

Cabin Pressure Fic - Aces High
Characters Martin, Arthur, Douglas
Rating G, unless immature pouting and betting with cheeses brings it up to T
Summary Who ever expected Arthur Shappey to be a whiz at poker?
Read on AO3 | Read on FF.net
ARTHUR: Why’s it called that, Skip?
DOUGLAS: What?
ARTHUR: Ottery St. Mary.
MARTIN: I’ve no idea.
ARTHUR: Do you know, Douglas?
DOUGLAS: Yes.
MARTIN: Do you?
DOUGLAS: Certainly I do. You see St. Mary is the patron saint of Devon, and she, of course, was famously martyred by being eaten alive by otters.
ARTHUR: Really?
DOUGLAS: Oh yes. Rabid otters. And so she’s always portrayed in pictures absolutely covered in otters.
ARTHUR: What, eating her?
DOUGLAS: Sometimes, in the more fire and brimstone churches. Elsewhere, the assumption is they’re all in Heaven now and have made up, so they’re just shown milling about her, nuzzling her affectionately and offering her ottery kisses and gifts of haddock.
MARTIN: Douglas…!
ARTHUR: Why would the otters go to Heaven, if they ate a saint?
DOUGLAS: You’ve put your finger, Arthur, as is so often your way, on the crux of a thorny theological problem. So far, our best guess is simply that St. Peter’s got a real soft spot for otters. He looks into those whiskery faces and goes “You guys! I can’t stay mad at you” and lets them into Heaven.Cabin Pressure 3x04 “Ottery St. Mary”
(Been working on this bit-by-bit throughout the week…in between intense bouts of homework, of course…)

The Cabin Pressure crew in Hogwarts, requested by sostrangechild
I’m not usually too keen on anything else than Harry Potter in Hogwarts, but this was fun. Carolyn is headmistress, Douglas the potion master, Arthur a Hufflepuff student and Martin is Martin.
and Martin is Martin.
It’s okay, Martin, I still love you.
