I've lost count - is this my 3rd drabble for week 2 of Challenge 288 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at tw100?
Anyway, for this one I used the episode title 'The Man Who Nearly Knew Pavarotti' as my prompt.
Summary: Jack and Ianto tell each other about famous people theyâve âmetâ.
Browsing his record collection one evening for something to play, Jack turned to Ianto.
“Did I ever tell you I knew Pavarotti?”
“Really? What was he like?”
“Well, I didn’t really know him as such, but I met him. Once. In passing. Okay, I nearly bumped into him outside a restaurant in London.”
“Ah.” Ianto smiled. “So you knew Pavarotti the way I know Charlotte Church.”
Jack looked intrigued.
“Saw her once from behind when she was opening a summer fair. Could’ve reached out and touched her but a crowd was in the way.”
Jack laughed.
“Yeah. Exactly like that.”
The End
