If you had to pick a top three favorite episodes of any panel shows EVER, which would you choose? One of mine would have to be Terry Wogan guest hosting old NMTB, which I am dying to watch again in my lifetime. Your old-NMTB-posting reminded me just how amazing and formative those old episodes were for me. Anyway, it got me thinking… I would love to hear yours!

as long as i'm allowed to answer this totally subjectively...! because the objectively most iconic panel show episodes are probably quite different to the ones i gravitate to especially for rewatching — and especially in this difficult recent climate 🫥

this choice is almost bizarre knowing me, a huge huge huge sean lock fan, but this episode of cats does countdown — without sean! and not even golden era, probably, whatever that is in my mind — is so ridiculous and chaotic and stupid that i've watched it about 1000 times. there's something very specific about the dynamic between jimmy, jon, roisin, and joe without sean; those four have been in quite a few episodes without sean and they're like actual children without an adult in the room: jon is goofier and completely lets go of the game, jimmy throws even more to roisin (we do not talk enough about what a fucking kick jimmy gets out of her), roisin and joe's insane sibling dynamic becomes next level. anyways—this episode, which includes rly funny mascots, glory hole, the fucking hoop game and joe eating an onion and jon eating peppers???, THE UNICORN, its sheer childishness just cracks me up every time :') (if we're gonna mention the golden age, 2.02 is very iconic — from rhod killin it and always arguing with jimmy to claude to nick x susie hahaha but i have sooooo many catsdown episodes i love love love)

i really love the episode of 8 out of 10 cats following jimmy's tax scandal. it's not one of my favourite panel shows in general, but the circumstances of the news and the discussion epitomised what the show was meant to be: panel show meets reality tv meets a comedy central roast. watching that live, as the news was running it so heavily that even the prime minister mentioned it, as the press and twitter were reacting to it... wild times. it holds up incredibly well — it's hilarious watching them rip him to shreds, because he deserves every word and they're having a ball doing it to him, and i really appreciate jon grounding the conversation in just how tax avoidance hurts their country and some of its hardest workers — a really interesting, engaging mix of comedy and anger and wit and disappointment and political commentary that is not only funny but strikingly relevant no matter how much time passes. like so, so many people who were so, so disappointed in jimmy, this was the foundation of his carrying the responsibility, shame, reflection, and growth that people wanted to see — and that he truly needed to. since then he's talked a lot about not only righting the wrong (in paying back what he owed in avoidance) but just how the system is so broken — and taking the least complicated, most honest road forward since.

now i want to pick 1000 different things this is why i don't make lists or rank things!!!!! while my instinct is to pick a big fat quiz, i'm actually gonna go top-level nostalgia and say this episode of buzzcocks when stephen fry was a guest. what can i say �� simon, stephen, it was two intellectual, mildly bitchy homosexuals on a stacked panel including josie long, dominic cooper, and yet another skinny white rock man for simon to pretend he's not trying to flirt with. stephen saying "there is a history, in pop music, of recto-veginal insertion" and denouncing god, like, in the first 5 minutes? stephen doing the intros round?? did i mention history boys-era dominic cooper??? such a throwback!!! (not to cheat but this ep with josh groban & martin freeman is my runner up)

i want to apologise to big fat quiz, taskmaster, wilty... THE WHOLE HISTORY OF PANEL SHOWS... I WISH I COULD CHOOSE YOU ALL

Not quite dead yet x -JM

I see someone is posing as the infamous James "Jim" Moriarty, who in my source was known to be Sherlock Holmes' as well as my, enemy. I have very few memories of this character besides what I have watched of the Televised version created by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat (Watson means the BBC show with Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch). Unless you are another introject, you are simply playing pretend. It certainly does not scare me, nor should it. You are incapable of discovering any personal information about our location, and even if you could, there is next to no reason to use it to your advantage. If anyone wishes to truly spark fear into my mind and heart, they must try exponentially harder. Though I appreciate you giving me a reason to front for a while and a reason to post onto this blog. If anyone were to have any questions or bits such as this they'd like to share, they are more than welcome and are truly encouraged. (We don't want Watson getting bored, he gets sad when he's bored. Makes him miss Holmes in source. We are trying to derail this habit, which is why he has this blog - 🕶) Until next time lovely fellows! Signed, John H. Watson, M.D.

Hello, first and foremost, I would like to thank you for giving the community Under Virgin Circumstances. I have been a very big fan of Martin Freeman ever since. I have read many MANY fanfics with MF characters in them. But when I read UVC, your characterizations are very on point, and I can imagine them saying, thinking, and behaving in your UVC. What I can't get over is the audio you've provided. It promoted it to the very next level. I love reading fanfics, but hearing them in their "voices" hits very differently. Thank you so much, and please do not tire of giving quality fics.

I think you're the first friendly stranger (apart from the fic wives) to appreciate the audio enhancements.

I did longer ones for my Wednesday Afterburn series, and the UVC one would've been longer if not for my character limits on the AI (yes, I paid for access, but I'm poor af and can only afford the basic with limited characters per month 💀). If I ever get a better package heh package, I can do more in less time and I would LOVE to make the entire thing an audio book. Programming doesn't take me too long, I took less than a day to do the one I posted...ofc me being me, I did The Kiss in a day as well, but left the foley out for a couple months before I finished it up for publication.

I have lots of Jairo (and Fill It Black/Willmore) story to write (including their Gap Year), but I need to work on and finish the last chapter of Satisfying Afterburn within the next couple of months. Howeverrrr...I often get wild hares [sic] up my ass and will suddenly publish a surprise or an extra (like the UVC audio! TOTALLY out of the blue because I was curious to hear how good Freeman's voice would be and I was checking up on my AI sites for updates).

I've always thought that Freeman is a great actor, but dang all of that Johnlock stuff back in the day saturated my fyp (I wasn't in the fandom at all) and had me tuning him out for a bit. But now he's got the beard and 🫠💦 I just wish he had been directed to do more during the fantasy scene in MG. Not because of MY fantasies, but because of hers/Cairo's. She wrote some SEX in that thing and what we got was Lifetime 'erotica'...BUT I will say that this was very hott (the fluid movement of those fingers is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥)

Hnng. And of course on the flip side, her hottest moment was

But I digress. And am not ttly looking at his hand on her ass....

As far as characterization goes, thank you. I try. The popular media that grabs my attention tends to envelop my brain. My favorite thing to do is bring secondary characters to the forefront and tell their stories, since everyone has a story.

I love doing the audios and consider myself more of a multimedia fan fiction artist these days, I won't tire of that, but I do wish I had a better system (than programming each individual line and then having to save each one, then stringing them together...my Download folder is a mess of all of their voices)...thank you for noticing, and thank you for your readership. I feel so welcome in Freemanland thanks to Miller's Girl/UVC.

🥹🫴🏽💖✨

Ha ha, we just had an earthquake...New Yorkers sending it back to us Californians

ETA: My manners got swallowed by the appreciation of the praise, so you're welcome. (I often forget to say that.) Fans/readers are always appreciated, regardless.

AU Headcanon:

" You go to my head "

I recently showed you my character chart for @jbaillier series and I totally agree with her that Imelda Staunton is perfect for Violet Holmes and our mind palaces filled with our favourite doctors.

And today I've found this pic and besides the fact that it is truly beautiful it fits perfectly into my little episodes I play in my mind on a daily basis....oh that's embarrassing 😳

Anyways...

This is Dr. John Watson happily embracing his mother in law Violet Holmes in the foyer of the Savoy hotel where on a medical gala event Sherlock gets a price for his achievements in shunt research.

John who always got along much better with Violet than her own son is truly pleased to see her there and hope Sherlock will be appreciate the fact that she tries to be proud and supportive.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Love John Watson!!

I REALLY need some good looking John pictures!! There are always such beautiful Sherlock pics but i NEED some good of John too!

Anonymous said to inevitably-johnlocked: Why do i just find beautiful Sherlock pictures but none of John?! I need some beautiful pics of him!!

Not sure if you’re the same Nonny, but this is for you! I’m not the best person for this, but I’m gonna try, since John deserves some love too, especially with how he was treated last season. :D

(warning for mobile users: Image Heavy, sorry!)

I was literally going to go through the entire series and screencap every single scene of John for you, but this post would be like 5000 miles long at that point, hahahah! Here’s a nice start for you Lovely! 

John fans, feel free to add your most beautiful John pics!

[magerightsyeah]

I swear its not just because I’m in love with Martin Freeman but I am in love with Bilbo Baggins

This man has so much love in his heart and for what??

For me that’s what.

I want him to make me a nice cup of coffee and talk about his day

I want to fold his clothes and leave them neatly on his bed so he doesn’t have to worry about it while he works on his book

I want to wrap my arms around him and kiss him from behind while I set freshly baked scones in front of him because he can forget to eat when he’s working

I have a lot of feelings about Bilbo Baggins okay??
