Rebuilding The Set Is A Full-Time Job.

I have a theory, and that theory is that a crossover of Top Gear and The Young Ones could, quite possibly, be the most amazing thing ever. I know that I probably call quite a few things 'the most amazing thing ever', but this time it is particularly true. They both revolve around insane, complete disaster-magnet groups of people. Vyvyan turbo-charges a vacuum cleaner, which proceeds to eat the floor. How can it never have been crossed over with Top Gear? Clarkson and Vyvyan would team up and destroy the world. Or, well, maybe not team up, because I am fairly sure that they would utterly despise each other, but there would definitely be world-destruction involved.

I've only seen about four episodes of The Young Ones, though, which means that I must desperately try to find someone else to write it, which means that [livejournal.com profile] dracothelizard must once again suffer my pestering her. She did write a couple of snippets, which were fantastic and made me die of glee and had Rick flirting with May under the impression that he was a woman ("Would you like to hear my poem? I wrote it especially for you. You'll - you'll have to come to my room, though, I left it there." The man then gave the hippie a filthy glare for no apparent reason.), but she seems reluctant to write any more, alas.

33% of all Young Ones episodes is MORE THAN ENOUGH to write a ridiculous Top Gear/The Young Ones crossover!

Also, you seriously need to see Nasty, in which, rather than move the video closer to the wall socket, Vyvyan uses his car to move the wall (and the socket) closer to the video, thus prompting Rick's "That's right, Vyvyan, if Mohammed won't come to the mountain, smash the living room to pieces, that's very Buddhist, isn't it?"

I know that show far too well.

On the bright side, I get a chance to use my Young Ones icons!

Clearly, you just need to practise writing their characters! Clearly!

IT IS INCREDIBLE GENIUS, especially when they start fighting the vampire.

Oh, sure, she's utterly allowed to see 'em, no problem :D

Also, I am downloading all 12 episodes of The Young Ones, not just for me, but also so that I can upload them and make you download them and watch them! MWUAHAHA.

Very well, the downloading will be taking a while anyway. AND YES YOU WILL.

...ARE THERE MORE SNIPPETS?

Because that was just amazing. *PESTERS ANYONE AND EVERYONE TO WRITE THIS*

I say this about a lot of things too, but right at this moment, that totally is the best. thing. ever.

...IT MUST CONTINUE! IT MUST!

I KNOW THIS IS IRRELEVENT (hi) BUT [livejournal.com profile] maestro1123 WAS TALKING TO ME ABOUT A SH/LOM CROSSOVER TODAY, AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU SAID BUT I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR PERSUASIVE SKILLS ARE SECOND TO NONE AND THAT IF SHE WRITES IT I WILL POSSBLY NEVER STOP THANKING YOU.

...THANKS. BYE.

:D

This is a theory that can only end in explosions, wild hi-jinks, and highly surreal chase sequences.

In other words: I heartily endorse this theory!

...Bollocks, that would be good.

While it's not Top Gear - have you seen this Captain Jack/The Young Ones (http://community.livejournal.com/vintagemilitary/5988.html) crossover?
