You could call it a total failure of self-control.

But I like to think of it as a triumph in the legal acquisition of British TV on DVD.

The thing is, okay, I was all "Self, it is time you got some Classic Who on DVD" and "Oooh, Five is pretty" and "Hey, what about that Turlough" and "Oh look my local B&N has The Black Guardian Trilogy in stock and I have to go to the mall anyway to buy clothes and dot dot dot."

And, okay, look! I was good! I did not also pick up Logopolis and Castrovalva! I left those for another time!

...But somebody had stuck the box set of the Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries in the middle of the Doctor Who and you know what movies the Internet Fairies really genuinely do not seem to be able to help me with? Yeah. Peter and Harriet, that's what.

Soooo I bought them both and now I have lots of lovely British people to watch on my telly this weekend.

Also, Moleskine now makes notebooks in a lovely dark red. I AM ONLY HUMAN OKAY.

...must not slash Peter and Charles just when Peter and Harriet are about to get together, must not slash Peter and Charles just when Peter and Harriet are about to get together, must not slash Peter and Charles just when Peter and Harriet are about to get together...

Dude, it HAPPENS, okay? THERE IS ENOUGH LORD PETER WHIMSEY TO GO AROUND! I just think he's fab, though. (oh God, have you seen Have his Carcass yet? Watch Bunter's face when Lord Peter's giving an example of throat slitting to Harriet. PRICELESS. BUNTER, WHAT ARE YOU?)

[ex_gryphon136]

Right, because if you're going to slash anybody in that context, it should be Peter & Bunter. It makes Bunter's offering to resign in Strong Poison so much more poignant.... *EG*

[missmollyetc]

Oh, yes, Peter/Bunter forever, and then Peter/Bunter/Harriet! But I always thought Charles/Peter was fun to think about--gets a little weird when he marries Peter's sister but still...

[dira]

Pfff, obvious displacement. Just like Harry making out with Hermione Ginny because he (thinks he) can't have Ron!

[missmollyetc]

DUDE. ALL YOUR WORDS ARE TRUE! ::grins::

Peter/Charles is the buddy-crimefighting slash that never was! Or, well, was only in the one fic I found that I don't remember the link to.

[dira]

Well naturally I also ship Peter and Bunter.

[ex_gryphon136]

Of course you do!
