Thank You For Having Us, David.

I grinned the whole way through the final episode of The Bubble. I love that both Hart and Khorsandi are clearly Mitchell/Webb 'shippers. I love that they had cause; 'my David' was the most adorable thing I've heard in weeks. (Mitchell's reaction made me laugh extremely hard.)

Here is the first part of the episode on YouTube; do watch at least up to 3.20 if you would like to see Mitchell and Webb being cute. (The other parts, if you decide to watch the entire thing, are here and here. If you just want to see more Mitchell-and-Webb adorableness, watch from 7.05 to 7.25 on the third part, and 1.30 to 1.40 isn't technically Mitchell and Webb being adorable together but might make you smile.)

Please commission a second series, BBC! And have Robert Webb on again, because it is great when he and Mitchell are together. ALSO, CHARLIE BROOKER. You have missed an amazing opportunity in not having him for this series, but I shall forgive you if you bring him in for the second. If you're worried about finding people he won't want to kill after half an hour in the Bubble, fear not; there's no need to bother with other guests for the week with Brooker, because he and Mitchell will just spend the entire recording snogging arguing, same thing.

It was really nice to see the Mitchell-and-Webb friendship on this episode of The Bubble, because their relationship sort of perplexes and worries me on occasion. They talk in interviews sometimes about consciously trying to spend less time together and always being very polite to each other because they're afraid of having a proper row, which sounds a bit stilted and unhealthy, but then they appear together on this and laugh and joke and Webb looks immensely distressed at That Bit in the quickfire round and, awww, they really are friends. ♥

Wait a moment: is Mitchell's wonderfully bickery relationship with Brooker in part because he's having all the arguments with him that he can't have with Webb? Hmmm.


On an entirely unrelated note: here is an amazing orchestral rendition of the Metal Gear Solid 2/3 theme. Even if you're not familiar with Metal Gear Solid (or perhaps especially if you're not familiar with it, because then you won't be familiar with the theme, and the theme is gorgeous), I'd recommend listening to it. I sobbed.

It was so SWEET and Miranda and Shappi totally shipped them. MY DAVID. WE ALL KNOW ABBY IS DAVID. Looking after Robert for him! Bless!

And then Jeremy Clarkson wanted Bill Bailey on his lap on QI. It's been a good night for slash.

I'm sure Brooker is very jealous and wishes he'd been in the Bubble with Webb to plot his demise.

Jeremy certainly spent a lot of time looking at Bill fondly! And then was disappointed when he was all the way on other side!

And then the cocktail round at the end - perhaps it inspired them to go for cocktails after, to further discuss the metric clock?

I think Clarkson has been reading this fanfic! He's either playing up to it or on the turn. What do you think? Bill looked a bit uncomfortable though. Perhaps he's been reading fanfic too.
