10 Times Doctor Who Appeared In Other TV Shows - Commenter Edition
Doctor Who plus Rick and Morty: a match made in sci-fi heaven.
The Doctor and their TARDIS team can go just about anywhere in time and space, and as it turns out, so can Doctor Who itself.
Various bits of Whoniverse iconography - from the TARDIS, to the Daleks, to bow ties, to specific lines of dialogue - have been appearing in non-Who movies and video games for decades, not to mention the insane number of TV shows that have also sneaked in Doctor Who references over the years.
In fact, there are so many examples of the latter, that our first list covering the subject simply wasn't enough. Our pop-culture savvy viewers left us so many suggestions in the comments of our original video (which you can watch here), that we've decided to do a second list, using examples left by our WhoCulture audience in that aforementioned comments section.
From Rick and Morty to Red Dwarf and The Big Bang Theory to Mr. Bean, you lot mentioned some incredibly fun references for us to talk about, so let's dive in: here are your picks for 10 Times Doctor Who Appeared In Other TV Shows...
10. Red Dwarf
Classic British sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf doesn't take itself too seriously in the least, so it's exactly the type of show you'd expect to contain a fun Doctor Who easter egg.
In the episode Demons & Angels, the Red Dwarf crew accidentally creates good and evil copies of their ship, which leads to the original ship blowing up. As the crew escapes this explosion by blasting through the cargo bay doors using the Starbug, you might be able to spot a certain blue box tucked away in the background.
Of course, we know that time travel does indeed exist in the Red Dwarf universe (the gang discovers a time travel device in the episode Out of Time), and with the TARDIS also kicking around, we can only assume that the Doctor is somewhere out there too, munching jammy dodgers and kicking Sontaran butts.
Red Dwarf and Doctor Who also crossed over in the 1998 special Red Dwarf A-Z, where two Daleks claim that the works of Shakespeare were written by a Dalek.
Ah yes, who could forget that classic Shakespeare quote "to exterminate, or not to exterminate... that is the question."
