"A lovely man."

[vakkotaur]

Often when I visit sistaur we watch some Doctor Who, either classic or new series. She's noticed something about the commentary tracks on Doctor Who DVDs.

At some point one of the commenters will speak of some fellow who has passed away or just isn't in the studio with them doing the commentary and will describe him as "a lovely man." I'm not sure if this the case on every commentary track, but if not it's certainly quite common.

This past weekend we watched Tom Baker in Pyramids of Mars and listened to the commentary. Sure enough, within the first few minutes someone was referred to as "a lovely man."
