Cyberbrig: Difference between revisions

The comedic potential of [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] remaining active on [[21st century]] [[Earth]] as a [[Cyberman]] ''beyond'' his gentle cameo in ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'' was first explored in an unlicensed context in a sketch created for the ''Idiot's Lantern'' show at [[Gallifrey One]] in [[2015 (releases)|2015]], simply entitled "''CYBER-BRIG''". [[DWM 484]] saw [[Steven Moffat]], originator of the concept of the cyber-converted Brigadier in the first place, try his hand at the same joke with the comedic short story ''[[My Dad's A Cyberman! (short story)|My Dad's A Cyberman!]]'', which officialised the moniker of "Cyberbrig" for the metal-plated Brigadier.  

A month later, snippets from the ''Idiot's Lantern'' skit were featured in an episode of ''[[The Fan Show]]'', ''[[The Universal Song Contest & Symphonic Spectacular! (webcast)|The Universal Song Contest & Symphonic Spectacular!]]'', thus officialising some (though not all) of what [[Bob Mitsch]], [[Scott Sebring]] and [[Athena Stamos]] had added to the parodical "Cyberbrig mythos".
