Okay for those who have been around since the start (Event 1/2) most of them know that Brigadier Kincaid was originally based on Brigadier Alexander Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart from Doctor Who.
When I got rid of him for a couple of months - I replaced him with Colonel Adam Crichton - the name being made up from "Adam" who I was working with at the time and "Crichton" from John Crichton from Farscape.
At least that's what my CONSCIOUS mind thought - until I was watching Doctor Who : The Five Doctors the other day and saw this scene :
------------------------------------------------
10: INT: UNIT HQ, PRESUMABLY COLONEL CRICHTON'S OFFICE
(The Brigadier stands and turns as the 2nd Doctor, opens the door and enters the room. The Sergeant tries to stop him, but only succeeds in removing his fur coat.)
2nd DOCTOR: (to the Sergeant) Oh, thank you.
(He goes to shake the Brigadier by the hand.)
2nd DOCTOR: Brigadier.
BRIGADIER: Good heavens, is it…you?
2nd DOCTOR: Yes, yes. For once, I was able to steer the TARDIS - and here I am.
CRICHTON: (to the Sergeant) Oh, it's all right, Sergeant.
SERGEANT: Very good, sir.
2nd DOCTOR: I'm not too late, am I?
BRIGADIER: What for?
2nd DOCTOR: For your speech as guest of honour.
BRIGADIER: How did you know?
2nd DOCTOR: I saw it in the Times.
CRICHTON: That's impossible - the reporter's still here.
2nd DOCTOR: Tomorrow's Times.
(He walks over to Crichton.)
2nd DOCTOR: And, er…and who is this?
BRIGADIER: That's my replacement, Colonel Crichton.
2nd DOCTOR: Ah.
(He shakes Crichton's hand.)
2nd DOCTOR: Yes, mine was pretty unpromising, too.
BRIGADIER: Er, come along, Doctor - let's take a stroll around the grounds. (To Crichton) Awfully sorry about this - do excuse me for a moment.
2nd DOCTOR: You've had this place redecorated, haven't you? Hum. Don't like it.
BRIGADIER: Come along, Doctor.
(The 2nd Doctor and the Brigadier head toward the glass doors at the rear of the room.)
---------------------------------------
So unfortunately my subconscious created the exact same character from the Five Doctors, to replace Kincaid as it had replaced in Doctor Who... without me realising !!!!
