In interviews, various actors etc on the show have referred to "Bill" and "Pat" over the years, and some fans have picked it up. Fine if that's your thing.

But they do it for EVERYONE, from Nicholas "Nic" Courtney to Douglas "Dougie" Camfield, and the cumulative effect just really boils my piss.

They still refer to the Katarina actor as "Adrienne" - you can tell they're desperate to find an abbreviation that can't be misread as "Adric".

I can't quite put my finger on what bothers me so much about fans pretending they'd be on nickname terms with 60s TV professionals, but... it bothers me.
