effexI've been watching Torchwood (if you hadn't noticed) and reading 'Right Ho, Jeeves' by the esteemable PG Wodehouse (so. much. love.) and have started musing on crossovers, as you do. I *love* crossovers.
After much thought (aka this morning's bus ride), I've concluded that sending Bertie and/or Jeeves through the rift would result in either A)Bertie's death or B) Jeeves running everything. And B's got potential! Lord knows they need the help (although they're not doing badly this week), and Bertie could be an author or a kept man or a babysitter or whatever, but it's not quite the story I want to tell myself. Torchwood's got too much angst, not enough space for adventure and wacky hijinks.
So, they get picked up by the Doctor, maybe? Except, I'm pretty sure Jeeves would drive him *crazy* - he'd adore the man, sure, but extended time together... all those "Yes, Sir"s and "Well, Sir"s and "Sir?"s would drive the Doctor completely 'round the bend. Let's not mention Bertie - he'd probably get locked in a closet somewhere, 'for the good of the Universe'. Agent of chaos, what?
Clearly, who we need here is Donna. Donna and Jeeves would get along fabulously *and* she could assist in the Bertie-wrangling, plus she'd be aces at getting both of them to loosen up a bit (well, okay, *Jeeves* to loosen up a bit. Bertie would get the clue!bat). I just need to work out the logistics...
Besides, the Torchwood-in-my-head is busy with a very surprised Arthur and Merlin and the Doctor's hanging out with Booster Gold.
