10 Times Doctor Who Appeared Where You'd Least Expect

[@melondasher]

So the Doctor met the Binks. I don't know how true it is but somewhere I've read that Huyang, a droid professor who taught many Jedi younglings how to construct their own sabre, is said to have arrived at the Jedi Temple in a blue box. Also, the voice actor of Huyang _is_ David Tennant.

[@richardjohnson9543]

Cumberbatch's Sherlock actually looks and acts as if he himself could be a version of the Doctor

[@samanthahardy9903]

It's a shame he didn't audition for the role. I think he would make a great, but darker doctor.

[@danthemeegs8751]

@@samanthahardy9903 I think he’s gone on record saying he wouldn’t do it but yeah he’d be a great Doctor!

[@gregsmith7949]

I agree. He'd make a great Doctor. His mother was in "Image of the Fendahl" so He'd be carrying on a family tradition. It will always be a "what if". Just like Sean Pertwee.

[@A_Maggot]

Being a white male, he has no chance, even if he's gay it's not enough for the intersectional racists.

[@briandooley1516]

It's easy to see why they would have similarities. Sherlock is autistic and the Doctor is autistic coded.

[@YourQueerGreatAuntie]

The very first episode of Chelmsford 123 shows the TARDIS materialising behind Aulos Paulinus (Jimmy Mulvehill) and Gratientus (Philip Pope) when they first arrive in Britain. A silhouette in long scarf and fedora comes out of the TARDIS, has a look around, goes back into the TARDIS and dematerialises.

[@nikkia9506]

I was just going to mention that. Watched that episode again a few weeks ago.

[@martinhavelock5106]

Such an underrated, and forgotten comedy from the Who Dares Wins team.

[@danthemeegs8751]

We covered this in our recent video about Doctor Who TV references. Haven’t seen all of Chelmsford 123 personally but I enjoyed the reference!

[@bluecat2831]

Just saw the video and immediately thought of this, how could they miss it out.

[@kimothy1701]

IGN produced a Star Trek and Legion of Superheroes crossover. In the 31st century, the immortal Vandal Savage captured all kinds of time machines, from The George Pal’s time machine from the film of the same name (HG Wells). Malcolm McDowalls time machine from Time after time, Doc Browns delorian, the hot tub time machine, a Stargate, and a certain blue police box.

[@johnlinton6118]

I’ve been watching Doctor Who since the 1970’s. I really enjoy finding Doctor Who Easter eggs in comics , games etc.

[@vampjoseph1198]

I'm glad that Mr. Pickles is working on Doctor Who! I'd been saying for years that he should be working on the show after seeing his animation of the Tardis in flight.

[@MrZedblade]

1) New Zealand Superannuation commercial featured Tom Baker in character as The Doctor in the late 90s. 2) Prime Computer ads in the early 80s featured Tom Baker and Lala Ward both in character. 3) The Orville mentions Doctor Who in passing in an episode. This isn't too unusual as many TV shows (e.g. Futurama) have also referenced it. But The Orville is the closest thing to Star Trek. Seeing it canonized as a TV show in-universe is just a little special.

[@domsanimationstudios]

At a pantomime I went to years back for sleeping beauty there was a part of the act where they had to wait for everyone to wake up so the dr who theme played as a Tardis suddenly slowly came from the top to just land on the bottom. As the characters got in the Tardis slowly rising to the top then the pantomime continues as normal… “To be honest it was the most random thing I have ever seen but I was so happy that they added something dr who related In the pantomime.”

[@yeshello3775]

Lmao good to know my birthday is also “national fish fingers and custard day”

[@onlyme219]

WOW, I'm very impressed with things I genuinely did not know about Dr Who, kudos to the channel, very, very well done on this one :)

[@garygcrook]

Apparently there's a Doctor Who reference in Captain Pugwash (1965). The Tardis can be just about seen in an artwork called The Flying Citadel which is set in D&D's Dragonlance. And in series 3 of Red Dwarf the Tardis was quite often seen parked just outside the Spacebug hangar.

[@mizstories9646]

I have watched John Smith VFX's WhoLock dosens of times. It teases me in an terrible, yet amazing way. I had never heard that the creator of the video actually got a job on Doctor Who. That is absolutely amazing!!!! I wonder what he is doing today.

[@stuartlloyd8746]

In comics, the 4th Doctor encountered Kirk and his crew, while the 11th encountered Picard et al in the miniseries Assimilation^2

[@valmid5069]

0:55 Fun Fact: *Apparently the recognizable British detective has gotten hold of a Torchwood business card* 11:00 *This includes the fact this was a DW and Transformers crossover*

[@Nebagram]

Also, Tom Baker being the voice of BT text service sort-of counts, especially if you ever visited the website where he was programmed to sing.

[@Reirek]

I’d probably say one of the stranger ones is Doctor Whooves from my little pony. In the show they don’t do that much referencing of the main show (they made him wear 4’s scarf and say allons-y in one episode, also was seen multiple times with a pony called rose) But in one of the mlp comics my man had a literal TARDIS that was shaped like a muffin. It was really bizarre.

[@danthemeegs8751]

We just covered this in our video about Doctor Who TV references, that’s definitely an odd one!

[@orionparish9858]

Probably because Hasbro didn't want to risk the BBC causing a stink about it. Time Turner (I think that is his official name) is about as close to being the Doctor as you can be without actually being the Doctor.

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

@@orionparish9858 Time Turner or Dr Hooves are his proper names but I do remember the weird limbo of a few products calling him Whooves like the Funko Vinyl of him.

[@jasonjimerson7046]

Seeing that ad of Daleks selling cigars is reminiscent to an old ad that had Fred Flintstone singing about the great taste of cigarettes.

[@GabePuratekuta]

Big Tobacco sponsored a lot of shows in the 60s and The Flintstones wasn't for kids at that time since it was broadcasted in primetime. I'm pretty sure a Dalek advertising anything would have the opposite effect no matter what.

[@ChrisEllorris]

Not only was that last one an odd crossover, it was used as a way to shrink the character. He was originally in another comic series (off brand Transformers I think?) and then had an adventure with the Doctor who shrunk him to human size before depositing him to join the rest of the Marvel comics universe. Pretty clever use of Doctor Who IP!

[@SkageXL5]

Death's Head was a character in the *main* Transformers comic of the time, and was popular enough to be spun-off (by falling through a dimensional gateway built by a giant head) into his own strip, and then later his own comics. He's my favourite :D

[@garygcrook]

@@SkageXL5 Due to Marvel wanting to keep the rights to him Death's Head appeared in a single page strip in Dragon's Claws before appearing in the British produced strips in Marvel UK's Transformers. It was Unicron that launched him into the portal, and into the Time Vortex, where he met the Doctor, who shrunk him back to his original size (using the Master's Compressor Disruptor) before dropping DH off at the Baxter building. They crossed paths again thanks to the contract on the Doctor's life, before Death's Head and Death's Head 2 discovered that it was the Doctor who was responsible for upsizing DH and putting him in the Transformers universe. Which means that their "first" meeting and subsequent shrinking of DH was no accident.

[@SkageXL5]

@@garygcrook you're right, "High Noon Tex" was published to keep the rights to character, but it was just in the regular comics they published at the time, my copy is in an issue of Bumper. Dragons Teeth was a little bit later, in the Marvel UKs first run of "American comics". I'm sure the MCU will get to DH eventually!

[@timrob12]

I'm genuinely impressed there is a Doctor Who reference out that there that was done by CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON. I have to look up these clips, because this might actually be rather good.

[@annlitz4787]

Maybe not a complete surprise, but in a scene in Russell T. Davies's heartbreaking AIDS drama series "It's a Sin," lead character Ritchie Tozer is an actor whose character confronts the Daleks. It's an homage to "Remembrance of the Daleks" -- specifically to DW actor and AIDS activist Dursley McLinden. (The "Sin" version is called "Regression of the Daleks.")

[@greenkey21]

I brought Doctor Who into Minecraft in my Tabranell series. A space-time rift broke out in my world and things started falling out. The Doctor saw my Minecraft videos and came to help.

[@jasonbroge7537]

Iron Maiden album Somewhere in Time includes a Tardis on the back cover. Personally, that has always been one of my favorites.

[@peteramos6081]

The doctor is vaguely mentioned as being known to and possibly working with John Constantine in an episode of DC Legends of Tomorrow. Constantine mentions time travel in his past and some timey wimey guy.

[@TediousMilkshake]

At my town's pantomime last year, the doctor just appeared out of nowhere and gave no relevance to the plot...

[@ericreese7792]

Sounds like the Doctor.

[@kalanivernon7273]

Keith Parkinson (an artist who painted several pieces of art for the covers of various Dragonlance products) featured the Tardis twice in his Dragonlance work. Once on the cover of DL-4 "Dragons of Desolation" (whose cover features K-9, the Tardis, and the Doctor), and again on the cover of the Dragonlance Legends Novel "Time of the Twins" (in a piece entitled "The Last spell of Fistandantilus"). In the latter piece, the Tardis is much easier to spot, sitting on a shelf in the archmages laboratory.

[@FunnyFungus]

Dr Strange and dr who - that’d be a show!

[@jeandoten1510]

I was stage manager of a Stanford Savoyards production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience" in which the original rivalry between two poets was turned into a war of Star Trek and Dr Who fandoms. The two poets became Mr. Spock and Dr. Who. It was hilarious!

[@rossmcdaniel7374]

There is one that I can think of: The Librarians and the Final Curtain (Season 2 Episode 10) The Librarians walk into a room that the Guardian (Rebecca Romjin) calls the Time Machine Room. While in this room one of the Librarians, Cassandra Cillian (Lindy Booth), pulls the corner of the cover off a suspiciously large device. For a mere few seconds we see the upper right corner of a blue box with white windows. At 05:07 into the episode (if you're watching it without commercials)

[@BeautifulShaving]

There's at least 2 Dr Who references & a Dr Who tribute in MMORPG RuneScape from UK based Jagex. There's a bank just below the South entrance to the Grand Exchange. If your character walks up to the last door at the N.E. end of the Varrock bank, mouse over the door & select the "knock" option, it'll cause the following interaction with a female bank npc: You: *knocks on door" Bank npc: Who's there? You: The Doctor Bank npc: Dr Wh...wait I'm not falling for that! The other Dr Who reference is in one of the "penguin" quests in which you come across some penguins in the desert next to a "crashed" red phone box that has the following written on it: T.A.R.D.I.S. Each letter stands for different words in the penguins' "caper" quest & they ask for your help. As a Who is, I totally got the Dr Who references when I encountered them within RuneScape & loved that they put them into the game as an homage to Dr Who & they are something that only players who are Dr Who fans would recognize & get. But still fun little Easter eggs within the game!

[@aerofool66]

You may want to check out Wizard 101’s Doctor Who. He is a dog character called the Professor, and he operates a red tardis. There is also a set of side quests involving the character and traveling through the past.

No one else gets it.

[@QuarrellaDeVil]

Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath is a serious Doctor Who fan, and "Among the Cybermen" on GZR's "Black Science" was originally to have had a chorus of "Doctor Who lies dead among the Cybermen." Interestingly, Peter Capaldi's Doctor did just that, twenty years to the day of the release of the album. Down the line, in "End of the Beginning" on Black Sabbath's "13", there's "Regeneration of your cybersonic soul/Transforming time and space beyond control". In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "The Neutral Zone", the first six actors to play the Doctor are listed on a family tree on a computer console, although they spell Peter Davison's name incorrectly. Apparently, this was removed when they remastered the episode for HD.

[@krys1581]

The Sims 3 had a Doctor Who reference as well. It came with Sims 3 Supernatural & was called LLAMA, which stands for Lightning Leap Atomic Molecular Arranger, & is a teleporter.

There are numerous Iron Maiden album and single covers which feature the Tardis in the background. For one, Wasted Years has Eddie’s ship flying through a vortex, and at the end of the vortex you can see the Tardis flying out

One of my favorite references would be Inspector Spacetime from Community tv show.

[@RejectedDeviant]

There's a game called Wizards 101 that features an event with the Doctor. Only the tardis is red, it's the Five Boxes event. Only the doctor is a dog character because the game features many worlds, and the doctor is from Marleybone (aka England/London). Its an interesting game and the event is decent. But yes the Doctor and his Tardis are everywhere. 😀😊

[@andrewcollin1978]

If the 10th Doctor featuring in a Buffy comic counts then both the 2nd and 11th Doctors have been spotted in the wonderful The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics. Also, I can't be the only person to be surprised at the Daleks appearance in the Lego Batman Movie and nobody mentions the (very dated and woefully unfunny, IMO) Gay Daleks sketches from Victor Lewis-Smith's TV show of the 1990's. That last one is probably for the best though.

[@camerastooge]

Don't forget the Daleks' surprise(?) cameo in "Looney Tunes: Back In Action". Possibly the brightest spot in an otherwise fairly dreary movie.

[@swearfreegamer]

Strangest place I’ve ever seen Doctor Who show up was in Veggietales… he basically calls space police on two fighting factions and skips out to the 18th century in the TARDIS… no I’m not joking…

[@martygould5114]

You missed mentioning the numerous time Doctor Who showed up on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, who was a huge Doctor Who fan, and coincidentally he was once in a punk rock band with Peter Capaldi. There were also a few Doctor Who spinoffs in the 90's, one called P.R.O.B.E., with the Liz Shaw character from the Pertwee days, and there was a short lived Sontaran series. However, I think Craig Ferguson should be in the #1 spot.

[@robertdragoff6909]

[@freakshowstudios8487]

Deathshead's involvement with Doctor Who actually goes a little deeper than Ellie described Deathshead's actually debuted in the Transformers Comics, produced by Marvel, was knocked into a portal into the Multiverse, landed in the Tardis, was shrunk by the Doctor, THEN sent to the Marvel Universe where he still resides to this day

[@stevemayandleilaroehead870]

I don't think it was porn, but I guess it was a try for more sales ( or they ran out of ideas). Zygon was the sequel to Cyberon, with the same lead star. It was aimed at a adult audience. If you get the chance, Cyberon is a much better film, one of my favorite BBV films :)
