The ultimate crossover?

I always like discovering new things I didn’t previously know, and today’s was a particular what-the-fuck moment of history:

To give credit where it’s due, they weren’t kidding with that tagline: I did, in fact, not believe it when I saw this ad, and was sure it had to be some bizarre photoshop job. No way did Boy George appear on The A Team… hang on, what do you mean he did? Well. Fuck me dead.

I don’t believe it. It’s real, and I don’t believe it. I’ve now actually seen a clip of the episode where George makes his first appearance (and OH but the other George, i.e. Peppard, does not look right with that moustache) and I STILL don’t believe it. It’s just… goddamn, I know both the band and the show were struggling by the end of 1985 when I presume this would’ve been filmed for broadcast in mid-February ’86, and I’m wondering who on Earth had the bright idea of combining the two. It’s not, you know, an intuitive mix of elements, and I’d love to know what the thinking behind it was. Or, indeed, if it was.
