Matt Smith Is Clearly A Red Herring.

causethesounds has somehow managed to locate pictures of a younger David Mitchell looking absolutely stunning in drag! Here is my favourite:




Oh, my goodness, he is actually beautiful. (THE INEVITABLE BAD FANFICTION IDEA: Charlie Brooker meets an intriguing woman and somehow manages to entirely miss the fact that she has David Mitchell's distinctive dark eyes and David Mitchell's distinctive nasal voice and, no, perhaps this isn't going to work. Someone should totally write David Mitchell genderswap, though. Yes.)


...every so often, a thought crosses my mind and makes absolutely no attempt to justify itself. I just thought 'I want David Mitchell in drag to play the next Doctor', and I do not know why.

Actually, a better(?) idea: David Mitchell plays the next Doctor. David Mitchell in drag plays his companion. Everyone is tremendously confused.

I'm trying to work Brooker into this scenario, but it's not easy. Perhaps he could be the Master? Ooh, or perhaps Robert Webb is the Master. That could work rather well.

Upon further consideration, I must conclude that Brooker appears in only one episode, sadly, helping out when he, the Doctor and the Doctor's companion (who, I have decided, for the Dead Set and 'David' parallels, is called Davina) are besieged by zombies. A threesome is heavily implied, because Mitchell/Brooker/female!Mitchell is hot.

This is an incredibly stupid idea on nearly every level.

Ooh, and having the terms be 'find his true love' creates the opportunity for Mitchell to a) have no idea that Brooker is his true love, and b) not actually be expecting to be turned into a woman, which could be rather fun.

See? Genius! Sea-witches are weird and do all sorts of bizarre things.
