So I'm reading another of the Eighth Doctor books, Camera Obscura, which is set in Victorian London. I'd skimmed it, and happened upon a bit where Fitz is fussing at the Doctor, who sarcastically says "yes, Da." Ha, I said to myself, remembering many Spike/Angel fics, I bet this writer's a Spike fan.

Then I get to this bit:

[Anji] was smiling politely at an earnest, puffy-haired young man in a brown suit, William somebody or other, who had been introduced to Chiltern as a poet. He was chattering on at her - probably reciting some of his no doubt ghastly poetry.

*dies of fandom collision*

(Well, vampires do exist in the Who universe, and Dingoes Ate My Baby have already been name-checked in one of the novels, so I suppose anything's possible...)

Clearly it was cut because Russell remembered Buffy is really real in the DW universe *g* (I am rationalising the fact that Andrew on Buffy is a Doctor Who fan. Obviously the Peter Cushing version still exists in the DW and Buffy universes...)

Andrew is a Doctor Who fan? Really? Was there a canon reference?

In Smashed, when they're left sitting with Spike, Andrew attempts conversation

ANDREW: You're English, right?
SPIKE: (frowns at him suspiciously) Yeah.
ANDREW: I've seen every episode of Doctor Who. (Spike continues frowning) Not Red Dwarf, though, 'cause, um...
JONATHAN: 'Cause it's not out yet on DVD.
ANDREW: Right. It's not out on ... (weakly) DVD.

HEEE. Oh, that is fabulous. And you know he would have started explaining about the lost episodes and Shada, if you left him there long enough...

*gets sudden QaF crossover plot bunny. probably set at a Who convention*

You have no idea how many times I have watched that scene.

Oh, Andrew, I love you so.
