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...)

Wibble. Though I'm not sure I can take the 'Da' as that always makes me cringe and close the fic when it has Sppike use such a wrong term.

Oh, me too. I chose to take it as 'see, the Doctor *is* Northern really and the poshness is put on' *g*

Well, we have two Scottish Doctor, two Manchunians and two Liverpudlians. So the North wins on points, ys.

I laughed quite a bit watching The Green Death tonight where Three goes undercover as a milkman; when asked what happened to the usual milkman he bluffs "oh, I'm his da." There are mitigating circumstances due to him pretending to be Welsh, though.

Very true - aAnd then there's the Doctor in Drag bit:)

Spike would probably rather die than be Welsh though.
