OOPS!  Big mistake -- I forgot that it was a U.N.I.T. REUNION in
"The Five Doctors."  So my last argument is shot dead.

It is, then, most likely that the Brigader was living in his
post-1983 existence, and just died his hair black and grew
a moustache for the reunion (so people would recognize him).
