10 Times Doctor Who Appeared In Other TV Shows - Commenter Edition

5. The Librarians

Despite having a solid run of over 40 episodes across four seasons, fantasy series The Librarians has been largely forgotten since its cancellation in 2018.

"Largely" is the operative word there, because we got quite a few comments from people who not only seemed like genuine fans of the show, but who also pointed out that it contains a pretty cool Doctor Who reference in its season two finale.

Here, our lead characters explore a room they call "the time machine room", which, as you may have guessed, is littered with various time machines. It's quite hard to spot due to the dark lighting of the scene, but one of these machines happens to be the TARDIS, which is visible for a few brief frames when Cassandra lifts a sheet.

If you look closely you can make out several distinctive TARDIS features, from the handles, to the windows, to that ever-present white plaque on the left door. Shortly after this TARDIS cameo, we then get an appearance from Back to the Future's DeLorean, giving us a quick double-whammy of iconic pop-culture time machines.
