10 Times Doctor Who Appeared In Other TV Shows

The 2017 reboot of DuckTales was something of a Doctor Who reunion. Not only did David Tennant voice main character Scrooge McDuck, but Catherine Tate and Michelle Gomez have also lent their pipes to the show.

What's more, showrunner Francisco Angones is a noted Whovian, and on top of bringing those Doctor Who stars over to DuckTales, he also included a more sneaky reference to the sci-fi juggernaut in the form of a time-travelling grandfather clock.

In the short episode Meet Scrooge, Louie Duck notices said grandfather clock and starts fiddling with its arms, unaware that it's a time machine. This sends Scrooge through various points in history, as he desperately tries to get the young lad to stop.

Though casual viewers probably weren't aware of the Doctor Who connection here (aside from the obvious time travel element), seasoned Who fans will recall that the Master once used a TARDIS disguised as a grandfather clock, which - considering Angones' love of Doctor Who - the DuckTales clock is surely a reference to.
