There are also many Doctor Who references in the animated show Miraculous. From a door that looks like the TARDIS, to a time hub that is full of round things and is said to be bigger on the inside. We can also hear the daleks in the distance once.
Yes, the Tardis Door is seen in the bedroom of Alya Césaire (Marinette/Ladybug's Best Friend), often seen in the background if she's doing a video for her LadyBlog. And the time hub round things in Bunnix's Burrow. Her Rabbit Miraculous is also a Pocket Watch which when not in use disguises to looks like it could be a nod to a Timelord Fob Watch. Just sharing some additional details for if they need any reference on what to look for if they do a 3rd video.
@@Shadowwolf34965 What I completely missed that! I had no idea the white sphere with circles inside was nodding to the tardis. The time travel aspect just slipped my mind.
The best Doctor Who reference ever is in Community. The show has its unique version of Doctor Who, called "Inspector Space-Time" and it's recurrent throughout the series, as the main characters love it.
It's not just recurrent throughout Community... there is actually a full couple of seasons right here on TH-cam. They were working on a movie as well. Haven't heard anything about it in a while though.
On an episode of Criminal Minds, two of the main characters go to a Dr. Who convention. There's also a scene where Reid gets upset by someone referring to the TARDIS as a phone booth.
It is a phone booth. It even says "Police Public Call Box" at the top of each side. There was a dedicated phone line to the nearest station connected to a receiver behind the small hatch, and the original boxes were also sturdy enough to use as a temporary cell, given that they were made of concrete.
Another great video! My favourite Doctor Who nod is in Derry Girls s2 when James turns up to take Erin to the school dance dressed in a suit, bow tie and Fourth Doctor Scarf. I also loved when David Tennant did a sketch with Catherine Tate as Lauren Cooper where he is the new English teacher. Of course, Doctor Who references and jokes ensue. Can't wait to see the two of them on the show again!!!
My all time favorite is in Call the Midwife. Sister Monica Joan is obsessed. With the show set in the 50s and 60s, we see the classic black and white opening and theme. Not to be outdone, in the 13th Doctor episode The Tsuranga Conundrum, Graham and Ryan try to help a pregnant man in labor, Ryan wonders what help Graham could give. He tells him he never missed an episode of Call the Midwife because his wife loved it.
A most unexpected Dr Who reference is in the 4th episode of the 4th season of CSI-New York, "Time's up". The team investigate the death of a scientist who allegedly invented a time machine. At one point during the episode the TARDIS sound can unmistakably be heard.
I just saw Mark Sheppard this past weekend. He said Canton almost joined Team TARDIS for a longer run, but his schedule didn’t permit it at the time. Mark is open to return, tho! Dan Harmon created the early web channel, Channel 101, which featured Chris Tallman’s series Time Belt. It was a love letter to the series, and even the titular Time Belt was made with cardboard and foil. Chris would later cameo on the Community episode featuring a convention homage to that series’ own Doctor proxy, Inspector Spacetime. I’m not sure if Chris’ later series, The Thundermans featured any specific DW references, but I’m sure it did. Chris once had a red Paradigm Dalek on his breakfast table, too!
The Fall of Doctor Who, a 5 Hour Review so extremly well-made that it's literally flooded with comments saying 'What? I dont even know or care for Doctor Who but i just watched FIVE Hours about it??!' The same kind of comments is findable under Madvocates Flash-Videos and under Hbomberguys videos about both RWBY and Sherlock; hope you have Fun with that info.
I love how the creators leaned into the fans turning him into "Doctor Whooves". From the use of Four's scarf and Ten's catchphrase in "Slice of Life" to where we are seeing one of his nightmares where he is being chased by living statues. There's even a bit in the comics where Discord produces his own "TARDIS" and Time Turner makes a brief cameo...only for Discord to boot him out saying we don't need the reference every time.
Not sure if it’s been covered, but Star Trek Enterprise episode Future Tense from the 2nd season has a clear Tardis reference when Tucker ask Reed “ how can a ship be bigger on the inside than the outside?”
The Librarians exists in this TV world (late 90s until late 2010s) where shows (like Eureka, Warehouse 13, Leverage, White Colar, etc.) that have a simular fan base, but are on different networks, could exist in one Universe. And any actors/directors/writers/etc that appear in the credits make self referential meta comments. And i love the head-cannon of it all.
Ellie is endearing, elegant, elecutionarily elevated and enticingly entertaining...And this being just a couple of weeks removed from the Season 2 Finale of Star Trek: Picard...The Wesley Crusher cameo speaks for itself, revealing the Watchers, Travelers and Supervisors (Daniels, Gary Seven and Isis, Roberta Lincoln, Mestral, Rain Robinson, Tallinn, The Tau Ceti Traveler and now Crusher) are all under the same Aegis (the Beta canon Aliens with the 50K light-year range transporters)...That Wesley, Now simply The Traveler, recruits Korē Soong to the Watchers as his ahem ahem Companion?? Very telling...
I did notice there was one Doctor who reference missing here and that was in the BBC'S Dracula, when Mina is writing her letter to Jonathan Harker. "Should I want for variety, the adorable barmaid at the Rose and Crown" This is in reference to Clara Oswald, when she appeared in the victorian era as a bar maid, who also happened to be a Nanny
There is actually a Doctor Who reffrence in every episode of the big bang theory where any scenes take place in the comic shop usually just a model figure or poster unless its directly talked about and reffrenced
Doctor Zone's car is a nice triple tribute reference to sci-fi stories with it being a yellow car like the Third Doctor's Bessie, a Beetle like the original Bumblebee was in Transformers and being its owner comes from the stars, you could say it's a Star Bug. Also I like that the ape has a clock face because it reminds me of the drawing of Romana from City of Death.
Rugrats. there is an episode were you can see daleks in a toystore , aswell as the fact that tommy pickles is himself a refrence to the doctor with how he is always geting them out of trouble with hos screwdriver and how his family car is somehow bigger on the inside such as in the episode were they go to see a reptar movie and he pushes a button in the car making the reptar mobile come out of the floor.
The Family Guy Star Wars parody. When they're making the jump to hyperspace, Tom Baker's intro sequence is seen through the windshield of the Millennial Falcon.
Supernatural has a couple of Doctor Who references. There's a character on the show in one episode using an alias "Amy Pond" and a Doctor Who magazine with Cybermen on the cover page.
Here is another one you missed. I just watched both 10 Times Doctor Who Appeared in TV shows and 10 Times doctor Who Appeared in Movies. He also appeared in the British TV show the Goodies. In one episode Tim and Bill were blasting off into space when one of them said "We need to call for help." The other asked how they would call for help. The first responded "In the telephone both." just as the TARDIS passed them going the other way. Also, Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton both have appeared on the show.
There an brilliant reference to the TARDIS in Season 1 Episode 19 of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. The Agents are interrogated and one of the questions is “You’re on a desert island, and the only thing on it is a large crate/box, what is the one thing you would want to find in that box?” They go through the different agents and their answers are weapons, a boat, etc. When they get to Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) says “The TARDIS”. There are references In Agents of SHIELD, but that made me smile 😊
There is a wonderful reference in the HBO series "Doom Patrol". When Michelle Gomez as Madame Rouge first appears in her time machine, Jane (Diane Guerrero) calls her ""Dr Who". This is of course so much better because Gomez played Missy, the female incarnation of The Master. Other Dr Who alumni on TDP are Mark Sheppard (Canton Delaware) and Timothy Dalton (Rassilon).
In the recent outing of "McDonald & Dodds" featuring none other than a non-cannon doctor Paul McGann and Naoko Mori, Toshiki Sato from Torchwood, there is at least one homage, where Naoko's character tells Paul's character about his office "It's smaller on the inside".
For The librarians the Tardis wasn’t the only nod to Doctor Who. The Season 3 premier final moments have similar music and lines to the 11th Doctor in The Eleventh Hour. The I’m the doctor scene.
There are a lot of Doctor Who references in Criminal Minds. In season 9 episode 24 of Criminal Minds, Spencer is shot, and Penelope gets action figures of the 10th and 11th Doctors and 2 Daleks and puts them on his table commenting "It will be great when he wakes up if this is the first thing he sees," and the other character in the room replies "Yeah, good Doctor will always make him smile." In season 13 episode 9 of Criminal Minds, Penelope and Spencer Cosplay Doctor Who for a convention.
Don’t forget about S3 ep2 of Kingdom. (The one with Stephen Fry.) Colin Baker appears. There’s a Tom Baker’s Doctor impersonator. And lots of tributes through. Lots of fun!
Lauren Cooper’s literature teacher in The Catherine Tate Show Also in S1 of Life on Mars, Sam Tyler (who was semi-accidentally named after Rose Tyler) makes a passing reference (I cannot remember the exact wording but something like “I called up Doctor Who”) in the first few episodes. Sam is, of course, played by John Simm.
In Life on Mars, there are so many references throughout... I squealed when I saw all of the stars come on the screen - but especially when Rory made his appearance... and if you have time.. stop by and check out Season 2, Episode 6 and pause at 50 min 40 secs..... and squeal along with me LOL
A bit late but the BBC show casualty has had dr who references to Ethan Hardy (played by George Rainsford) wearing the 4th doctor's cosplay and the same characters girlfriend giving him a dalek
The Doctor was referred to as "Doctor Who" in the end credits from 1963 up to 1980. The best era of Doctor Who: Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee and Tom Baker. The fab four.
Sesame Street! In the episode “Elmo Builds a Robot Dog” Elmo starts talking about robots and two puppet Daleks show up right behind him. It’s a small moment but super unexpected.
Well, originally they were going to be using a car as the time machine. Then Back to the Future was released. They quickly changed it to a phone booth.
Yes, Red Dwarf and The Librarians!! Great, great shows, and if you ever do a video like this about Star Trek then I hope The Librarians shows up in that too because it has two well-known Trek actors in it (so does Warehouse 13, which has three!) I guess now also three because Rebecca Romijn is in SNW!
There was a TV series called Crime Traveller made in 1997, which only lasted for 1 series. In it the 2 main characters have built a time machine in a room of a house. In 1 episode they end up in a junk yard which has a police box standing in it and give it a quizzical look. Also there was a 1976 TV show called Mathshow. Which was designed to teach young children mathematics. There was frequently a spoof of Tom Baker's Timelord who travelled in a standard phone box. Which he and 2 other characters had to cram into. And who can forget 'Dr. Emu and the Deadly Dustbins'? They were dustbins on wheels and droned "Dispose" "Dispose" .
I feel like if the franchise were still around today that Stargate would have made a reference at least once. As characters in it tended to be pop culture aware and they did reference actual shows in it usually due to some bad guy being aligned with a trope.
I said it last time, I'll say it again here: Maybe the earliest ever appearance in another show was "Death at Bargain Prices", an early black and white adventure for Emma Peel on "The Avengers". There are Daleks in the toy department Emma is working in.
Did you get the scenes throughout Toast of London. Toast acts in a Tom Baker episode. TARDIS noise when Peter Davison is shown and it has a curly haired, scarf wearing punter as a regular in the pub. Also Lenny Henry did a sketch with Thatchos! Spike Milligan - Curry Dalek Even in Morbius CCTV shows Matt Smith killing 3 guys and the detective saying “that’s not the Doctor.”
There's an episode in the anime series Fairy Tail with a Dr Who reference. Shortly after the Grand Magic Games plot arc, there's an episode where the Fairy Tail gang is discussing how time passes at different speeds in different dimensions. The simple-minded Natzu gets confused and screams out "Enough of this wibbley-wobbley time crap!"
"...Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, EXTERMINATE THEM!!!"
Okay... I was not expecting the pun last survivor "Galope...fray" I was literally choking on my coffee because I wanted to laugh so hard, nice reference My little pony
This is totally random, but I really like your sweater! (It also reminds me of one in one of favorite childhood books called Ruby the Copycat.) It's so pretty!
I can think of two other Doctor Who references: 1. In the US police drama "The Rookie" season 4 episode "Red Hot", a group of LAPD officers investigated a safe house, when the main character played by Nathan Fillon remarks that the house in much bigger on the outside than inside. This causes the surprise comment from sports fan Sergeant Bradford to say "It's like a reverse Tardis." 2. Seth Macfarlane's "The Orville'. In season 1, the starship Orville discovers a parrel universe where everything is in two dimensions. After getting stuck inside this 2-D universe, they rig a shuttle to help get the starship out of danger. After Lieutenant Lemarr remarks that they have created a field to make the inside of the shuttle bigger than the outside, Captain Mercer says "Just like Doctor Who's phone booth".
There was also a reference in heartbeat, in the later series after nick berry went and much later when vernon scrips came in and start his taxi buisness. After the 10th series I believe
So the doctor did not destroy the time lords. He transported them t a pocket dimension without time. They can be brought back but the Dalek will be brought back with them... Unless in the last 2 seasons that changed? (I haven't been able to keep up with the show sadly)
Bojack horseman writing doctor who fanfiction and the Doctor Hu gag was fun. It’s kind of low hanging fruit but that was something. It’s almost like they could’ve had bojack as that universe’s 12, but that’ll break the no Non-British rule so that rule exists there too in my headcanon
In the tv show My Babysitter's a Vampire there was Halloween episode where was boy in costume of Doctor who and he became in the episode real Doctor Who for a moment (sorry for my English if there is a mistake)
"Chelmsford 123", pilot ep (?), cart stuck on road at night (?), characters repair and bicker. In background TARDIS materialises, 4th Doctor emerges, runs around, and leaves.
Ah you had this reference in the first part! Impressive - its hard to find people who even remember that the series existed. You expected me to watch in order? Time is an illusion...
Going back to the Disney Channel connection with Phineas and Ferb: in "Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel" they mention that their shed borrows some British sci-fi technology when Iron Man mentions that the shed is roomier than it appears from the outside.
Also the Freeform series „Good Trouble“ has mentioned Doctor Who twice. Once one guy quoted Doctor Who and someone elses recognized it as a Doctor Who quote. And in an another episode the main character wore a Doctor Who shirt.
I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet, but in season 1, episode 1 of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero animated series from 1986, there are 3 references to Doctor Who. In the last scene of the first episode, titled The Pyramid of Darkness (Pt.1) -which is a loose reference to a few Doctor Who titles- Shipwreck and Snake Eyes (accompanied by his wolf, Timber) are disguised in Cobra uniforms as they attempt to gain entry into a Cobra installation. In that scene, Shipwreck, Snake Eyes and Timber step up to the facility's entry gate where they encounter a Cobra robot standing guard beside a voice print recognition computer. Shipwreck recites the pass phrase "Hail Cobra Commander; the great snake rules forever!" twice, but the computer doesn't accept his voice print. Upon seeing this, the robot begins shouting a warning reminiscent of the Daleks, saying "Intruders! Intruders! Intruders must be exterminated! Exterminated! Exterminated!" as Shipwreck, Snake Eyes and Timber become trapped in the corridor between two rows of bars; as circular saw blades rise up from the floor and spikes pop out of the walls and begin to close in on them. This episode also introduced a group of small, innocent looking creatures called "Fatal Fluffies"; which were smuggled aboard a transport rocket, by Zartan, that a G.I. Joe squad used to reach a space station orbiting Earth. The squad discovered the little creatures after docking on the space station. The Joes would later learn that these creatures also had the ability to morph into larger, stronger monsters; which I believe makes them similar to the Meeps, of the Wrarth Galaxy, who were first introduced in a Doctor Who comic strip. Thought I'd throw that in, just in case no one else has.
So, I'm watching this while waiting for my daughter to get out of first grade with my child's mother and she sees it and says, "wow, she's really cute. That's definitely your type." Like, duh, Ellie is the cutest girl on TH-cam, if not all of tv. Geez, can't even stalk her properly since she's 'across the pond', as y'all say.
I might have the most obscure reference to Doctor Who in an American TV show. The short-lived Something is Out There (1988). The show was about a pair of cops. One human and one alien. In one scene, the human picked up a stalk of celery. The alien cop said something like she'd heard that celery has great healing powers. Or something to that effect.
Phineas and Ferb have a reference to the TARDIS, in one episode where the boys build a rocket and accompanying launch site, they turn a shed into mission control, with the shed being bigger on the inside than the outside with Phineas noting that Ferb knows "really knows how to maximize space." The episode is called Out To Launch. I can't find any evidence if it was meant as a TARDIS reference, though! But given how Phineas and Ferb AND Milo Murphy's Law share the same creators and Universe, it's got to be a TARDIS reference.
I was fully expecting Agents of SHIELD to be mentioned here. The character Jemma Simmons is a confirmed Whovian in the show, so there were lots of references. Season 1 featured a mini TARDIS in the background of a scene, and in a later episode when Simmons was presented with a hypothetical desert island scenario and asked what the one thing she would want on the island with her would be, she answered "the TARDIS." In season 3 she had a Doctor Who themed birthday cake, and in season 5 she uttered the phrase "Allons-y" before heading into battle against aliens on board a spaceship. By far the best Doctor Who reference on the show, however, came during a season 7 episode featuring an army of Chopping Mall inspired killer robots: while breaching a SHIELD base, an Uzi-wielding robot says "Exterminate!" before opening fire.
One reference that I noticed is in the animated Disney show amphibia In one of the episodes in season 2 (I forgot the number and name of the episode) Sprig drinks a cup of coffee and as his energy is high everything slows down Like time has slow down after sprig notices this he says “I’m a time lord now” A small but noticeable reference
They forgot about Criminal Minds. Dr. Spencer Reid is a big doctor who fan. In one episode him and Garcia went to a comic-con and Reid dressed up like the 4th doctor. In another episode Reid was shot and while he was in the hospital Garcia put a few doctor who toys on his bed tray.
Don't know if it has been mentioned yet in previous comments but... Phineas and Ferb ? In the crossover episode with the MCU, Phineas casually mentions time lord technology to explain how he managed to fit a whole hi-tech lab in his backyard 😜. Phineas and Ferb + Doctor Who + Marvel in one episode. As a fan of the three universes, that one was a keeper for me 😁
Not only that, but in the episode Out To Launch, they have a shed that's bigger on the inside, which acts as mission control, and Phineas notes that Ferb "really knows how to maximize space."
The British show "The Avengers" (Steed and Mrs. Peele, not Marvel!) There was an episode where Mrs Peele was undercover in a department store. You saw several Daleks in the toy department. Phineas and Ferb referenced Doctor Who long before Milo Murphy's Law. Twice Phineas and Ferb had control centers that were tiny sheds on the outside, but huge facilities on the inside. Ferb credited it to "Good Old British sci Fi ingenuity"
@6:34 It's "The Doctor" sure. But The Doctor specifically permitted being referred to as Doctor Who in the beginning of 275a "World Enough and Time, S10E11. And that was before Rick made the reference.
I just noticed that in the British part of the world concert in the of Phineas and Ferb episode save summer the main gang are referencing Doctor Who in their outfits! Here’s who I think each character is referencing! Ferb- the 4th doctor Buford- the 6th doctor Phineas- the 10th doctor Isabella- maybe Rose?
The Goodies. Tim and Bill are on their way to the moon and need to call for help. Tim suggests looking a phone box, Bill says where will we find a phone box way out here, Tim points to passing TARDIS and says "There's one."
So funny thing about the Doctor hooves is that his there’s several ponies with the same cutie mark that everyone has assigned to each iteration of the doctor even ones that aren’t considered Canaan or ones that recently been introduced with the timeless child controversy
Even though he's been in a number of different things I've seen, every time I see Mark Sheppard's role in Doctor Who referenced I do the Crowley-was-in-Doctor-Who?! double take.
It’s harder to find things Mark Sheppard *wasn’t* in. He’s been in Star Trek Voyager, Firefly, Doom Patrol (as a John Constantine expy, a role Clara now has), Battlestar Galactica, and more. (I *think* he never appeared in Stargate or Andromeda, but don’t quote me on that.)
There are also many Doctor Who references in the animated show Miraculous. From a door that looks like the TARDIS, to a time hub that is full of round things and is said to be bigger on the inside. We can also hear the daleks in the distance once.
Yes, the Tardis Door is seen in the bedroom of Alya Césaire (Marinette/Ladybug's Best Friend), often seen in the background if she's doing a video for her LadyBlog. And the time hub round things in Bunnix's Burrow. Her Rabbit Miraculous is also a Pocket Watch which when not in use disguises to looks like it could be a nod to a Timelord Fob Watch.

It is a phone booth. It even says "Police Public Call Box" at the top of each side. There was a dedicated phone line to the nearest station connected to a receiver behind the small hatch, and the original boxes were also sturdy enough to use as a temporary cell, given that they were made of concrete.
ITS A POLICE BOX NOT A NORMAL PHONE BOX
Another great video!
My favourite Doctor Who nod is in Derry Girls s2 when James turns up to take Erin to the school dance dressed in a suit, bow tie and Fourth Doctor Scarf.
I also loved when David Tennant did a sketch with Catherine Tate as Lauren Cooper where he is the new English teacher. Of course, Doctor Who references and jokes ensue. Can't wait to see the two of them on the show again!!!
You know, I can totally see David Tennant accepting to be part of any ridiculous spoof. XD

Considering one of the main characters is the brother of the 8th Doctor, and definitely looks it, it would have been a crime for them to not.
Plus of course the uk-comic-relief-sketch when the original ctm crew encountered the 11th dr
The episode they’re watching on The Big Bang Theory was “Silence in the Library.” That score gives it away as there is no dialogue heard.
This is some incredibly nerdy trivia, and I’m here for it! 😂

I love how the creators leaned into the fans turning him into "Doctor Whooves".

+1 for pointing out the issue with the reference in Rick & Morty. Makes this pedant proud.
Not sure if it’s been covered, but Star Trek Enterprise episode Future Tense from the 2nd season has a clear Tardis reference when Tucker ask Reed “ how can a ship be bigger on the inside than the outside?”
I mentioned that episode in the comments of the last video. Not sure how it got missed twice.

Gary 7 is a direct reference. Time traveler who meddles in human affairs. Uses a high technology pen type gadget. Has a female companion. And more.

"Should I want for variety, the adorable barmaid at the Rose and Crown"

In the recent outing of "McDonald & Dodds" featuring none other than a non-cannon doctor Paul McGann and Naoko Mori, Toshiki Sato from Torchwood, there is at least one homage, where Naoko's character tells Paul's character about his office "It's smaller on the inside".
For The librarians the Tardis wasn’t the only nod to Doctor Who. The Season 3 premier final moments have similar music and lines to the 11th Doctor in The Eleventh Hour. The I’m the doctor scene.
There are a lot of Doctor Who references in Criminal Minds. In season 9 episode 24 of Criminal Minds, Spencer is shot, and Penelope gets action figures of the 10th and 11th Doctors and 2 Daleks and puts them on his table commenting "It will be great when he wakes up if this is the first thing he sees," and the other character in the room replies "Yeah, good Doctor will always make him smile." In season 13 episode 9 of Criminal Minds, Penelope and Spencer Cosplay Doctor Who for a convention.
Wait, other TV shows exist? Not just Doctor Who? What?
Yeah right
Don’t forget about S3 ep2 of Kingdom. (The one with Stephen Fry.) Colin Baker appears. There’s a Tom Baker’s Doctor impersonator. And lots of tributes through. Lots of fun!
Lauren Cooper’s literature teacher in The Catherine Tate Show
Also in S1 of Life on Mars, Sam Tyler (who was semi-accidentally named after Rose Tyler) makes a passing reference (I cannot remember the exact wording but something like “I called up Doctor Who”) in the first few episodes. Sam is, of course, played by John Simm.
In Life on Mars, there are so many references throughout... I squealed when I saw all of the stars come on the screen - but especially when Rory made his appearance... and if you have time.. stop by and check out Season 2, Episode 6 and pause at 50 min 40 secs..... and squeal along with me LOL
In Derry Girls James goes to a DW convention dressed as The Doctor.
A bit late but the BBC show casualty has had dr who references to Ethan Hardy (played by George Rainsford) wearing the 4th doctor's cosplay and the same characters girlfriend giving him a dalek
The Doctor was referred to as "Doctor Who" in the end credits from 1963 up to 1980. The best era of Doctor Who: Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee and Tom Baker. The fab four.
I was going to say the same thing.
This was fantastic!!! THANK YOU!!!
related more 'Rick and Morty' with 'Back to the Future' than 'Doctor Who' but this changed my mind (a bit)
the Ben 10 one, professor paradox was one of the best!
Sesame Street! In the episode “Elmo Builds a Robot Dog” Elmo starts talking about robots and two puppet Daleks show up right behind him. It’s a small moment but super unexpected.
7:40 you going to ignore the Tardis console to the right?
Do you think it was a coincidence that Bill & Ted traveled thru time in a phone booth? Nope!
Well, originally they were going to be using a car as the time machine. Then Back to the Future was released. They quickly changed it to a phone booth.
Mind Blown
I love dr whooves as a character
Yes, Red Dwarf and The Librarians!! Great, great shows, and if you ever do a video like this about Star Trek then I hope The Librarians shows up in that too because it has two well-known Trek actors in it (so does Warehouse 13, which has three!)
I guess now also three because Rebecca Romijn is in SNW!
There was a TV series called Crime Traveller made in 1997, which only lasted for 1 series. In it the 2 main characters have built a time machine in a room of a house. In 1 episode they end up in a junk yard which has a police box standing in it and give it a quizzical look.
Also there was a 1976 TV show called Mathshow. Which was designed to teach young children mathematics. There was frequently a spoof of Tom Baker's Timelord who travelled in a standard phone box. Which he and 2 other characters had to cram into.
And who can forget 'Dr. Emu and the Deadly Dustbins'? They were dustbins on wheels and droned "Dispose" "Dispose"
.
I feel like if the franchise were still around today that Stargate would have made a reference at least once. As characters in it tended to be pop culture aware and they did reference actual shows in it usually due to some bad guy being aligned with a trope.
I said it last time, I'll say it again here: Maybe the earliest ever appearance in another show was "Death at Bargain Prices", an early black and white adventure for Emma Peel on "The Avengers". There are Daleks in the toy department Emma is working in.
The My Little pony Doctor is absolutely adorable and I would love him and hug him forever
Did you get the scenes throughout Toast of London. Toast acts in a Tom Baker episode. TARDIS noise when Peter Davison is shown and it has a curly haired, scarf wearing punter as a regular in the pub.
Also Lenny Henry did a sketch with Thatchos!
Spike Milligan - Curry Dalek
Even in Morbius CCTV shows Matt Smith killing 3 guys and the detective saying “that’s not the Doctor.”
From my quick IMDB search John Rogers is one of the creators of both the "Librarians" and "Leverage", so he must be a fan.
Great find!
Well, I never saw that in Red Dwarf. Awesome spot. I so .love these lists, some I already know but that was a poke in the eye with a salt stick.
There's an episode in the anime series Fairy Tail with a Dr Who reference. Shortly after the Grand Magic Games plot arc, there's an episode where the Fairy Tail gang is discussing how time passes at different speeds in different dimensions. The simple-minded Natzu gets confused and screams out "Enough of this wibbley-wobbley time crap!"
I actually would love to see an MLP series based on Doctor Hooves, and see all the sci-fi pony adventures.
I believe the line for Dalek hamlet would be "To exterminate ot not to exterminate. Their is no question.....EXTERMINATE!"
"...Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, EXTERMINATE THEM!!!"
Okay... I was not expecting the pun last survivor "Galope...fray" I was literally choking on my coffee because I wanted to laugh so hard, nice reference My little pony
This is totally random, but I really like your sweater! (It also reminds me of one in one of favorite childhood books called Ruby the Copycat.) It's so pretty!
I can think of two other Doctor Who references:
1. In the US police drama "The Rookie" season 4 episode "Red Hot", a group of LAPD officers investigated a safe house, when the main character played by Nathan Fillon remarks that the house in much bigger on the outside than inside. This causes the surprise comment from sports fan Sergeant Bradford to say "It's like a reverse Tardis."
2. Seth Macfarlane's "The Orville'. In season 1, the starship Orville discovers a parrel universe where everything is in two dimensions. After getting stuck inside this 2-D universe, they rig a shuttle to help get the starship out of danger. After Lieutenant Lemarr remarks that they have created a field to make the inside of the shuttle bigger than the outside, Captain Mercer says "Just like Doctor Who's phone booth".
I would like to say another Disney show gives a nod to doctor hour with a bigger on the inside reference
Community has their own version of a Doctor Who tv show.
There’s tons on Futurama.
Even VeggieTales has an asparagus driving the Tardis
There was also a reference in heartbeat, in the later series after nick berry went and much later when vernon scrips came in and start his taxi buisness. After the 10th series I believe
Rick and Morty were named after Doc and Marty from Back to the Future.
Which is a completely irrelevant factoid but, uh, thanks for that.
How on earth did I miss edition one!
David Baddiel killed me with his Jodie Whittaker impersonation in Taskmaster
lol a finnish lidl ad has a ¨time machine¨ that resembles a police public call box
Fun fact: Rick and the 10th Doctor have the same Italian voice actor, so that line is even more on point here
Just watched the Rick and Monty on HBO MAX😂because you sent me.Send me some more after I recover from my laughter. Keith David rocks!!!
So the doctor did not destroy the time lords. He transported them t a pocket dimension without time. They can be brought back but the Dalek will be brought back with them... Unless in the last 2 seasons that changed? (I haven't been able to keep up with the show sadly)
It certainly has changed. For the worse. I don’t want to spoil it for u unless u say it’s ok but yeah they kinda messed up that whole storyline
@@JoshKikz Aww that sucks (ill catch up myself so thank you)
Bojack horseman writing doctor who fanfiction and the Doctor Hu gag was fun. It’s kind of low hanging fruit but that was something. It’s almost like they could’ve had bojack as that universe’s 12, but that’ll break the no Non-British rule so that rule exists there too in my headcanon
In the tv show My Babysitter's a Vampire there was Halloween episode where was boy in costume of Doctor who and he became in the episode real Doctor Who for a moment (sorry for my English if there is a mistake)
"Chelmsford 123", pilot ep (?), cart stuck on road at night (?), characters repair and bicker. In background TARDIS materialises, 4th Doctor emerges, runs around, and leaves.
Ah you had this reference in the first part! Impressive - its hard to find people who even remember that the series existed.
You expected me to watch in order? Time is an illusion...
@@trollson66 wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey indeed…
Going back to the Disney Channel connection with Phineas and Ferb: in "Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel" they mention that their shed borrows some British sci-fi technology when Iron Man mentions that the shed is roomier than it appears from the outside.
Also the Freeform series „Good Trouble“ has mentioned Doctor Who twice. Once one guy quoted Doctor Who and someone elses recognized it as a Doctor Who quote. And in an another episode the main character wore a Doctor Who shirt.
I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet, but in season 1, episode 1 of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero animated series from 1986, there are 3 references to Doctor Who. In the last scene of the first episode, titled The Pyramid of Darkness (Pt.1) -which is a loose reference to a few Doctor Who titles- Shipwreck and Snake Eyes (accompanied by his wolf, Timber) are disguised in Cobra uniforms as they attempt to gain entry into a Cobra installation. In that scene, Shipwreck, Snake Eyes and Timber step up to the facility's entry gate where they encounter a Cobra robot standing guard beside a voice print recognition computer. Shipwreck recites the pass phrase "Hail Cobra Commander; the great snake rules forever!" twice, but the computer doesn't accept his voice print. Upon seeing this, the robot begins shouting a warning reminiscent of the Daleks, saying "Intruders! Intruders! Intruders must be exterminated! Exterminated! Exterminated!" as Shipwreck, Snake Eyes and Timber become trapped in the corridor between two rows of bars; as circular saw blades rise up from the floor and spikes pop out of the walls and begin to close in on them.
This episode also introduced a group of small, innocent looking creatures called "Fatal Fluffies"; which were smuggled aboard a transport rocket, by Zartan, that a G.I. Joe squad used to reach a space station orbiting Earth. The squad discovered the little creatures after docking on the space station. The Joes would later learn that these creatures also had the ability to morph into larger, stronger monsters; which I believe makes them similar to the Meeps, of the Wrarth Galaxy, who were first introduced in a Doctor Who comic strip. Thought I'd throw that in, just in case no one else has.
So, I'm watching this while waiting for my daughter to get out of first grade with my child's mother and she sees it and says, "wow, she's really cute. That's definitely your type." Like, duh, Ellie is the cutest girl on TH-cam, if not all of tv. Geez, can't even stalk her properly since she's 'across the pond', as y'all say.
I might have the most obscure reference to Doctor Who in an American TV show. The short-lived Something is Out There (1988). The show was about a pair of cops. One human and one alien. In one scene, the human picked up a stalk of celery. The alien cop said something like she'd heard that celery has great healing powers. Or something to that effect.
Phineas and Ferb have a reference to the TARDIS, in one episode where the boys build a rocket and accompanying launch site, they turn a shed into mission control, with the shed being bigger on the inside than the outside with Phineas noting that Ferb knows "really knows how to maximize space."
The episode is called Out To Launch. I can't find any evidence if it was meant as a TARDIS reference, though! But given how Phineas and Ferb AND Milo Murphy's Law share the same creators and Universe, it's got to be a TARDIS reference.
Ah, yes, my favorite quote from Shakespeare, "to exterminate or not to exterminate. That is the question."
I was fully expecting Agents of SHIELD to be mentioned here. The character Jemma Simmons is a confirmed Whovian in the show, so there were lots of references. Season 1 featured a mini TARDIS in the background of a scene, and in a later episode when Simmons was presented with a hypothetical desert island scenario and asked what the one thing she would want on the island with her would be, she answered "the TARDIS." In season 3 she had a Doctor Who themed birthday cake, and in season 5 she uttered the phrase "Allons-y" before heading into battle against aliens on board a spaceship. By far the best Doctor Who reference on the show, however, came during a season 7 episode featuring an army of Chopping Mall inspired killer robots: while breaching a SHIELD base, an Uzi-wielding robot says "Exterminate!" before opening fire.
One reference that I noticed is in the animated Disney show amphibia
In one of the episodes in season 2 (I forgot the number and name of the episode)
Sprig drinks a cup of coffee and as his energy is high everything slows down
Like time has slow down after sprig notices this he says “I’m a time lord now”
A small but noticeable reference
If RTD is reading and is going to bring back Mark Sheppard, then he needs to come back wearing a very fine hat.
They forgot about Criminal Minds. Dr. Spencer Reid is a big doctor who fan. In one episode him and Garcia went to a comic-con and Reid dressed up like the 4th doctor. In another episode Reid was shot and while he was in the hospital Garcia put a few doctor who toys on his bed tray.
Don't know if it has been mentioned yet in previous comments but... Phineas and Ferb ? In the crossover episode with the MCU, Phineas casually mentions time lord technology to explain how he managed to fit a whole hi-tech lab in his backyard 😜. Phineas and Ferb + Doctor Who + Marvel in one episode. As a fan of the three universes, that one was a keeper for me 😁
And here I thought I had seen all the episodes! Guess there's at least one I missed growing up! Welp now I'm off to find it 😂
Not only that, but in the episode Out To Launch, they have a shed that's bigger on the inside, which acts as mission control, and Phineas notes that Ferb "really knows how to maximize space."
7:35 the object on the right also looks like the TARDIS console, which implies that the console was taken out of the TARDIS somehow
in the german synchro of the rick and morty episode rick says he is dr who^^ little fun fact
There's an episode of the original run of Rugrats where the babies are in a toy store and you can clearly see Dalek toys on a bottom shelf.
12 would say you're wrong, he flat out says it "i am Doctor Who"
Speaking of Rick and Morty reference: Even though he is called "The Doctor," now, he has been credited as "Doctor Who."
Yes, more please!
The British show "The Avengers"
(Steed and Mrs. Peele, not Marvel!)
There was an episode where Mrs Peele was undercover in a department store. You saw several Daleks in the toy department.
Phineas and Ferb referenced Doctor Who long before Milo Murphy's Law. Twice Phineas and Ferb had control centers that were tiny sheds on the outside, but huge facilities on the inside. Ferb credited it to "Good Old British sci Fi ingenuity"
@6:35
Imagine being a channel devoted to Doctor Who and not knowing that the show literally credited him as "Dr. Who" in the classic series.
Imagine being a 🤓
@@rfspilot My dude you're watching a list video about Doctor Who references in other media. Talk about glass houses shit.
@6:34 It's "The Doctor" sure. But The Doctor specifically permitted being referred to as Doctor Who in the beginning of 275a "World Enough and Time, S10E11. And that was before Rick made the reference.
I just noticed that in the British part of the world concert in the of Phineas and Ferb episode save summer the main gang are referencing Doctor Who in their outfits!
Here’s who I think each character is referencing!
Ferb- the 4th doctor
Buford- the 6th doctor
Phineas- the 10th doctor
Isabella- maybe Rose?
This is o Obviously a doctor who reference because one of the Phineas and Ferb writers is a big doctor who fan.
The Goodies. Tim and Bill are on their way to the moon and need to call for help. Tim suggests looking a phone box, Bill says where will we find a phone box way out here, Tim points to passing TARDIS and says "There's one."
So funny thing about the Doctor hooves is that his there’s several ponies with the same cutie mark that everyone has assigned to each iteration of the doctor even ones that aren’t considered Canaan or ones that recently been introduced with the timeless child controversy
The Librarians and Leverage were created by the same guys. Dean Devlin and John Rogers are noted to be huge fans of Doctor Who.
Even though he's been in a number of different things I've seen, every time I see Mark Sheppard's role in Doctor Who referenced I do the Crowley-was-in-Doctor-Who?! double take.
It’s harder to find things Mark Sheppard *wasn’t* in. He’s been in Star Trek Voyager, Firefly, Doom Patrol (as a John Constantine expy, a role Clara now has), Battlestar Galactica, and more.
(I *think* he never appeared in Stargate or Andromeda, but don’t quote me on that.)
One day people will understand he is known as Doctor Who in the show. Alot more in the classics, but it really doesnt matter
those earlier days i seem to remember maccoys doctor being on every saterday, may have been low budget but we got a lot more of our favorate alien
There’s a nod in Miracles Ladybug as well. It can be seen as a door poster in the background of a few shots
I love "The Librarians"!!!
Leverage is a great and fun show that doesn't take itself too seriously, the Librarian's is fun too
