You say Potato I say Sontaran

[ED-209]

So I have a memory of a Doctor Who at the proms moment where Strax and the Lizard lady sing "You say Potato I say Sontaran" - but can I hell find a reference to it anywhere. Did I imagine that or did it actually happen??

 

[The Nth Doctor]

*Madame Vastra.

 

[ED-209]

That's her, do you remember this at all?

Only "say potato" reference I see on Chakoteya is from Datalore.

Several Doctor Who universe episodes where Sontarans are described as potatoes though

"And if ever I'm in need of advice from a psychotic potato dwarf, you'll certainly be the first to know." (The Snowmen -- 11th Doctor)

"He's like a potato. A baked potato. A talking baked potato." (Sontaran Stratagem - 10th Doctor))

"The silliest race in the galaxy, that's what Edgar used to say. Like a huge potato with a ray gun. Quite nasty blighters they were, all the same. " (Eye of the Gorgon - Sarah Jane)

I don't think the Proms skits would be on there. I think there's only been one since they were introduced to the series - the 50th anniversary one in 2013 - and it doesn't ring a bell.
