: Ooh, that's a good shout I think. It also explains why I couldn't find any counterpart because I had just assumed an actual person was being referenced rather than a position. Should the page be renamed on this basis? --[[User:Borisashton|Borisashton]] [[User talk:Borisashton|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:02, May 26, 2020 (UTC) | : Ooh, that's a good shout I think.

:: I'm not familiar with the story, but it's certainly a fair inference. Our page for another fictional DG, [[Director-General (Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life)]], uses the full title and the acronym interchangeably. I think readers of the comic were probably expected to understand who the DG is to get the joke, same as they'd be expected to understand that Tom is Tom Baker contextually. I can rename the page, if you like.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 18:45, May 26, 2020 (UTC) | |||
