“Hopefully by the time you get these tapes I’ll have something more concrete for you. Good luck Jon, I- stay safe.”

Me, doing literally anything after listening to TMA: oh my god this is EXACTLY like an episode of TMA.

Rip to the Queen but I’ve got blogging to do so here’s how I think the characters in tma would react to the Queen dying!

Jon: would do the whole “I wouldn’t wish death on anyone!” speel, but is well aware of the damage and violence she’s supported and is not at all sad.

Martin: he’d probably be sad. Not in a royalist way, but in a familiar ‘the Queen has been a big part of life for a lot of people’ way. After the news was broken he probably said something like 'god. I need a cuppa.’

Tim: would probably be happy! He seems like a devoted anti monarchist type! He probably had 'ding doing the witch is dead’ on full blast (to Martin’s dismay)

Sasha: kinddd of wants to join Tim but also thinks it’s disrespectful and is probably trying to remind everyone that this means prince Charles is king now.

Daisy: probably just said 'Oh.’ and moved on.

Basira: understands the historical significance of the whole thing, is very respectful of the people in mourning and shakes her head solemnly about it.

Melanie: probably partying with Tim!

Elias: he’s ancient, he probably knew Lizzie before she was queen, he’s probably in bits about it.

I like to think that back when they were first working in the archives, Martin when through little interests every couple of weeks. Just subtle things, maybe to do with specific statements or current events.

And Jon, despite his “raging hatred” for the guy, always seems to get really into the same things. He always has the perfect interesting fact, statistic, or contribution to the subject…

He insists it’s because he doesn’t want Martin “spreading false information and damaging the intellectual image of the institute!”

But really he just wants to impress him.
