Question: What time of the day does the Queen usually air her Christmas speech?

Related - everyone should have a shinyopals when writing fic. She is just so organized! There are tags! And lists! I think my favorite note is:

Scene 8:
...the nature of which we haven't decided on because none of us seem to know anything about [this].

MWAH!

ETA: Oh hell. Most British types are probably in bed by now, aren't they?

Sandwiched between Top of the Pops and Shark Tale. *is amused*

TotP - something outdated, irrelevant and clung to like a deflating beacon of a time when things were much better. And lip synched.

Shark's Tale - so-so movie with a few points, good for amusement but leaves you feeling like you've seen it all before.


If that doesn't sum up the monarchy then I don't know what does...

Like that Eurovision thing that makes absolutely no sense to me and all I can ever figure out is that it preempts Doctor Who and therefore should be loathed?

HA!

Hey! Say what you want about the Queen but you DO NOT TOUCH THE SACREDNESS THAT IS EUROVISION!

(except if you're complaining about the loss of DW. 'cause that does suck. But EV does indeed rock.)

It is funny and stupid and good for a laugh and drinking games. And Germans dressed as trolls, climbing on the set. But now Terry has quit the reason for said funnies has gone.

Lament.

I saw some clips of it last year and it made me wonder how Americans got to be the uncool ones.

Oh right. All that war stuff.

How is Eurovision supposed to be worth watching without Terry?

Also, did you hear? According to Have I Got News For You (totally accurate news source that it is), apparently Lloyd Webber has been over to Russia to discuss tactical voting! XD

The Queen should go on later and go on before or after doctor who, that would get people watching.

Or during Doctor Who! It could randomly pop up!

She did in the Kylie episode...

And cause mass heart attacks among all the Doctor Who fans, they wouldn't risk it. can you imagine it:

"Actually Doctor who I really am is...." "hello this is the queen"

Tons of people yelling at the tv "Your who?! The next Doctor? Your Father? Your love bunny The Master?!"

Fandom couldn't handle it!

BWAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to make a comment about her starting her speech with, "Well, wasn't that a cracker of an episode? Shame that David's leaving..." but she cheats and pre-records her speech so it's a bit redundant now.

The idea is to catch people before / after their Christmas dinner. When you're either stuffed and/or pissed and falling asleep, or starving...

Which is how it comes in to our fic... :D
