10 Doctor Who Characters Who Appeared Outside The Show
9. The Fourth Doctor In The Simpsons
Considering how long both shows have been on TV, it’s not a massive surprise that Doctor Who and The Simpsons have crossed paths a few times over the years.
In a sequence poking fun at British culture from the episode Love is a Many-Splintered Thing, the TARDIS materialises in the middle of the Houses of Parliament. Out steps Alfred Hitchcock, who proceeds to breakdance while Mott the Hoople’s All the Young Dudes plays in the background.
Yes, that actually happened.
The Time Lord who has appeared most often in the realm of Springfield is easily number Four, who has turned up a bunch of times over the years.
In the episode Sideshow Bob’s Last Gleaming, the Fourth Doctor is one of the “esteemed representatives of television” (pictured above) convened after Bob threatens to destroy the medium.
He then appears in a Treehouse of Horror segment, having been captured by the sci-fi obsessed villain, The Collector (who is actually Comic Book Guy). He can also be seen signing autographs at a convention in the episode Mayored to the Mob.
Hopefully Tom Baker got some residuals for all the uses of his image!
