Now, it could be that everyone else in old school Who fandom already knows this and it's the equivalent of 'omg did you know Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who!!!1!' but it's entirely new to me: last night we were talking about the Brig (as one does) and my housemate mentioned seeing Nicholas Courtney on Harry Hill's sketch show some years back - playing the Brig. And singing 'Don't Leave Me This Way'.

Surely not, I thought. That's too brilliantly insane to possibly be true. So I googled a bit and found this Nick Courtney interview:

I recorded that back in October, as The Brigadier. My agent contacted me and said would you like to do The Harry Hill Show and I said, yes of course. It was wonderful to do, obviously he (Harry) had grown up with Doctor Who and liked the Brigadier and asked me to do a guest spot. I do a scene with a Cyberman and another scene where I’m singing a song by The Communards called Don’t Leave Me This Way and it should be going out at the end of February I think. So you’ll be able to see The Brigadier in full costume singing Don’t Leave Me This Way, so that should be a laugh. (Laughter).

WHAT. ALSO: THIS IS CLEARLY DOCTOR WHO CANON. SOMEHOW.

If you find that, pleease~ tell me T_T~~. I remember reading about it a couple of months ago and being like THIS MUST BE ON THE INTERNET SOMEHOW, AND I SHALL FIND IT! but didn't, sadface.

But it has to be on the internet somehow, surely? Everything is on the internet somewhere~!
