Just One or Two More Plot Bunnies, Sir...

Had a duo of new Plot Bunnies right off the litter, well trained I think...

#1



Username: derekmetaltron .
Era (if any): Second Doctor, Tenth Doctor
Characters/Pairings (if any): None.
Plot Bunny Summary: The Second and Tenth Doctors get together to help Lt. Columbo solve a particularly baffering crime. If only the three of them won't end up irritating all the suspects...
Any Other Notes: Why Two and Ten with Columbo? Well besides the fact I haven't seen a story with the Second and Tenth Doctors in together yet (besides my own There's No Noddy which doesn't really count on the fact they never interact), the two feel right for being with Columbo. David Tennant's favourite detective happens to be Columbo so he was an logical fit, but I ended up imagining Two in there because he does something very similar to Columbo - he acts the fool, tricking people into thinking he buys their story (or that their alien plans of conquest can't be stopped) when in reality he's quite the clever clogs. Plus both have an often shabby appearance which makes people feel they can get over them... and fail. I hope someone could manage to capture the Two Doctors and Columbo for this bunny.

Username: derekmetaltron .
Era (if any): First Doctor and Tenth Doctor (Sssssort of), Maybe Eleventh Doctor?
Characters/Pairings (if any): Christina/Monk
Plot Bunny Summary: After leaving the Doctor in her Flying Bus in Planet of the Dead Lady Christina stumbles across a odd fellow with a pocket watch and some old cabinet in his house... who turns out to be the Doctor's sometime's friend, sometimes foe, the Meddling Monk! Upon revival of Time Lord status personalities prove compatible and the Monk makes Christina his Companion/Lover as they run through Earth's history to steal and meddle in time... possibly to run into the 11th Doctor as a result.
Any Other Notes: Not much to say, I'd love to see Christina and the Monk together, they seem such a great fit to me. I'd expect that the Monk should be a new, possibly younger incarnation than the Peter Butterworth model but still keep the same central personality of meddling for fun - not evil like the Master, just someone who sees history as a bit of a playground and the chance to 'improve things'. Eleven and his companions are an optional extra.

These look like fun. :-)

Just one thing, please, if you're going to post a pic, can you use an LJ cut for it? It's not a huge pic, I know, but always better to be over-considerate with these things than the reverse. (You can put an lj cut like so, only without the opening and closing spaces: < lj-cut text="Pic here" > < /lj-cut > Use the html editor for it - lj cuts on the rich text one are horrible to do. If it's a smaller pic than this, I wouldn't worry, though.)

Thank you!

Opps, sorry about that. I think I've corrected it now, hope that's ok.

You have indeed! Thanks! I know it wasn't all that large, or dodgy, but I'm aware that people do prefer not to have large posts on their flists, generally. :-)

Who would you imagine as the new Monk? I always have a hard time imagining anyone who's not Peter Butterworth in the role.

Hm, tricky to think really - Peter did do a great job. I know Siskoid of the Unofficial Who CCG suggested Bill Bailey from Black Books fame as the new Monk/Mortimus - http://www.siskoid.com/WhoCCG/RD5/cardmeddlingmonk-4.html . Whoever it would be would need to be a more comical sort of character who we wouldn't take quite seriously - in fact if he hadn't been playing the Dream Lord in Amy's Choice and judging from his preformance, someone like Toby Jones would be perfect actually.
