NCIS and Big Bang Theory were similar. NCIS had an episode where DiNozzo recognized the episode of Big Bang Theory playing in a hotel room during an investigation. Big Bang Theory had an episode where Penny flirts with Mark Harmon for a minor scene in an episode of NCIS that gets cut out

[@DrWhoFanJ]

It wasn’t quite the first episode; it was _The Aztecs_ (1964), the show’s sixth story. The main thing that bugs me about that scene (even now!) is that they’re clearly watching the second episode of the story (as the cliffhanger reprise is the first thing we see after the titles), yet Sister Monica Joan is discussing the events of the previous episode as if they only just happened a few minutes ago.

[@brainlock72]

John Byrne kept slipping in references to the Doctor in Marvel since he worked on Power Man & Iron Fist. They meet an “odd fellow” whose shop disappears at the end of the story. Later, in F4, Reed Richards drops the occasional reference, and in one issue did while noting he knew a young woman’s grandfather, “Prof. Jones” while they were at a dig on Moon/Mars-? His spin off from X-Men, Alpha Flight’s first arch nemesis was “The Master of the World”, a Cro-Magnon man elevated to a high intellect cyborg by a crashed spaceship. Black body suit and rubbish beard were obvious nods to Koschei and the first DW serial.

The Dalek's appearance in the Loony Tunes movie almost led to the Daleks not returning to Doctor Who in the revied show. The estate of Terry Nation, who owned the copy right to the Daleks were not happy with the Daleks appearing in the movie without their permission.

[@johnsensebe3153]

The issue with the Daleks is that although the Terry Nation estate owns the rights to the Dalek name and their characterization, the BBC owns the rights to the look of the Daleks, so as long as they aren't called Daleks, the BBC can license them out, like in the Lego Batman movie, where they're called "British robots".

Not contesting that Who may have been the first to use the phrasing "reverse the polarity", but since then has been utilized so prolifically in all forms of sci-fi (especially Star Trek) that it's just a trope of the genre as a whole now rather than a direct reference.

@@mastere6115 To be fair, as far as Star Trek goes its probably the same as how the exact phrase "Beam me up Scotty" was never used, but over the decades Trek has used lots of technobabble where "reversing" and "polarity" were key components.

[@schubertuk]

Doesn't lessen the Doctor Who influence by being successful. The references in ST:TNG were often proven to be intentional (and the Doctor's actors were actually listed on a screen in one episode), and many US sci-fi writers have admitted to watching Doctor Who.

[@CaptainSouthbird]

It's worth nothing that "reversing polarity" has also actual electrical meaning with nothing to do with sci-fi. Electrical devices with "polarity", i.e. positive and negative electrical inputs, supplied the opposite way is reverse polarity. I never saw Cars 2 and I'm just taking this at face value, but what that scene appears to be is that the mechanism about to crush the cars is being driven by a DC motor, which will turn the opposite direction if you in fact reverse its polarity. Unless there was more to that dialog (e.g. "... of the neutron flow"), I'm willing to bet that wasn't actually a reference to Doctor Who or sci-fi at all. Literally electrically speaking reversing the polarity in the real world meaning of that term.

If Peter Jackson is such a big Doctor Who fan, then IMHO there's no way the appearance of the Uruk-Hai in his movies weren't a tip of the hat to/inspired by the Ogrons.

[@schubertuk]

There is no doubt on the "if". Peter has said so numerous times, and put money where his mouth is when buying old Doctor Who props. Whether they did directly influence the Urak-Hai is another matter, but I will concede there are definite simlarities.

[@Shippou011]

Given that the Uruk-Hai are based on the Isengard Orcs (which were said to be more intelligent, able to communicate properly/effectively, and potentially were the result of humans and orcs breeding) it's more likely that it's the other way around - Ogrons being inspired by Isengard Orcs. Although the fact that the name blatantly suggests that Ogrons are some kind of *Ogre* it's probably just a case of 'great minds.'

8:00 The connection between Doctor Who and Transformers goes all the way back to the 1980's thanks to the Marvel multiverse. A character called Death's Head debuted in Marvel UK's Transformers (killing Bumblebee in his first story) before meeting the seventh Doctor a few times before the Doctor strands him on top of the Fantastic Four building in the main Marvel 616 comics universe. In one issue of Marvel UK's Transformer comic there is a Decepticon called Octus who transforms into a Dalek. And 1986's The Transformers the Movie is the best Transformers film. Plus more Marvel references are a organisation called W.H.O. aka the Weird Happenings Organisation which is a British Military organisation set up by the twins Alistaire and Alysande Stuart named for Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.

"Reverse Polarity" is EVERYWHERE. The DOCTOR WHO and STAR TREK Franchises are prolific; because, those Franchises are small in number compared with DC COMICS Franchises and MARVEL COMICS Franchises; therefore, "Reverse Polarity" isn't as common in the DC COMICS Franchises and the MARVEL COMICS Franchises.

Why is there a scarecrow having dinner with Stephen Hawking? 4:00

[@brendannahor1460]

Lol! That was good! Issue 564 of the Doctor Who magazine lists 20 times Doctor Who has appeared/mentioned in other TV series/Films such as NCIS and My Little Pony! It also has The Lego Movie and Bumblebee appearances! 🤔

2:03 not technically true, they aren't the actual props from the Dalek movies... the Originals were made by the same company commissioned to make the TV ones, Shawcraft in around 1964/1965, and they actually appeared in the 1965 serial "The Chase" with William Hartnell (which had the biggest names to appear in Who, The Beatles). These ones for "Back in Action" were fan made (note the 1967-onwards pupils on the eyes), the gold one returned to the silver screen to appear in "Ted 2" and had a scrap with the robot from "Lost In Space" during the Comic Con fight started by Sam Jones. Also I DO believe there is very little evidence to support Steve Martin being a Whovian... I think it was more he wanted "Old School Sci-Fi Movies" and he was ill informed of the Daleks being owned by Terry Nation's estate (as he assumed they were owned by Studio Canal based on what what little knowledge he had of the Cushing movies, and his lack of foresight on the Doctor Who serials with William Hartnell )

I love looney tunes back in action but if encanto really has a reference that’s crazy because that would be getting my worlds crossed because I’m moving to Colombia within the next two years to marry my girlfriend

[@itsandre4594]

Brilliant! I was right about Encanto 😂 Btw, it’s not a movie, but in Young Justice season 1, one of the zeta tubes (teleporter) exterior is a blue police box 😉

At 04:00 it looks like the face of Jeremy Baines in the Human Nature episode. This boy has a very reassuring head.

Sylvester McCoy's Doctor appeared in the Marvel, Deaths Head comics that were a spinoff of the Transformer comics. It was when Deaths Heas was traveling between universes. It placed Doctor Who into the 1980s Marvel multiverse, which includes Transformers, G.I. Joe, Spiderman and more.
