I can't remember Mark making me laugh, but he's certainly given me the creeps more than anyone else this series. As embarrassing as some of the Steverly clips were, it never seemed like he was actively trying to humiliate her. Not so with Mark and Christopher. I'm not sure who looks worse now. Mark, for doing whatever he can, whenever he can to get his oily tentacles into Christopher's brain, or Christopher for not telling the odious little martinet to back, or ideally f***. off.
As it is, it's not hard to picture the two of them with a magazine deal in a month or two's time. It's just that it might be a 'special' magazine, Mark dragging round Christopher on all fours on a lead in Torture Garden or wherever, while Christopher raises his eyebrows 'long-sufferingly' at the camera.
'He's always asking me to do this sort of thing ...'
'Fookin' stop tha'! Eyebrows are my fookin' thing, Christopher! Just wait till I get yer home! Yer can foge' about the bed, it's the fookin' kennel for you tonight!'
'In this relationship, I am always in the dog house ...'
'Shoor up! I'm only tryin' to fookin' protect yer! And we're nor in a fookin' relationship anyway, Christopher!'
'I see.'
'Good. Now lick me fookin' trainers clean!'
Etc.
Am I alone in finding the thought of Mark and Christopher 'dating' in the real world, without 24/7 TV surveillance, somewhat horrifying?
