Why this must be read:  I'm not sure if this even technically qualifies as a crossover, or even as a fic, but you should go check it out anyway.  It will only take a moment, and you need a good laugh, don't you? 

(Warning: won't make any sense if you haven't seen episode 1.04.  But is particularly funny if you are American and it went "what?" the first few times you heard the CID guys refer to a female as a "bird")

The penguin on the tellie has just blown up.

I do not know the fandom "Life on Mars", but I have watched Monty Python for at least a hundred years.. give or take.

And I laughed and laughed, well until the Spanish Inquisition put an end to it.

The joke is that in ep. 1.04 Inspector Tyler takes a girl from that man's club home with him. Later the club owner has her killed, because she wasn't cooperating in the blackmail scheme. The screen caps are all from the scene where Tyler confronts him about it, and they make a very odd sort of sense with the sketch lines.

Oh, and you should totally watch Life on Mars!

Thanks I will try to find it to watch.

But it was fun to find a fellow Python on LJ.
