I quite like it when one TV show crosses over into another one. It always used to be a rare treat, just because it was so rare. If it still goes on then I don’t see much of it, probably because I don’t watch any of those evening-long charity telethons, and if I did then I probably wouldn’t appreciate it since it would probably feature characters from shows I don’t watch like any soap opera, reality show, talent show, or cookery show.

But I remember the enjoyment of watching an episode of Mad About You (remember that?) where Kramer from Seinfeld appeared in it.

Anyway, a couple of crossovers or mashups I wouldn’t mind seeing:

Based on the success of 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, how about Never Mind the Buzzcocks does University Challenge or Mock the Week does Pointless?

On the subject of Pointless, I would love to see – just once – Alexander Armstrong bring one of his recurring catchphrases from the Armstrong & Miller show into Pointless. One specific catchphrase. Just imagine it; one couple has got narrowly beaten in the head-to-head. They managed to guess the most obscure anagram of a type of condiment, but in the picture round which was photos of famous Rogers their opponents just happened to recognise the mathematician Roger Penrose. The decider was questions about Motown which they lost by 2 points.

At which point Armstrong says the usual: “Oh. So close, but Dan and Olly just beat you to it so we have to say goodbye to you, but thank you so much for playing, you’ve been brilliant contestants across both shows. Erica and James everybody!”

Cue applause and after the unlucky pair are escorted from the set he leans into the microphone and says “Kill them”.

That would make my day.
