Doctor Who Series 10: 12 Easter Eggs & References You Might've Missed In "Knock Knock'

7. Bill's Inner Indiana Jones

Doctor Who Knock Knock Easter Eggs
Lucasfilm

When on the run from the woodlice, Bill attempts to find the trick book on a bookshelf that will activate the secret door to the house's forbidden tower. As she does so, she namedrops where she gets the idea from: "Indiana Jones... Come on!"

While the bookcase concealing a secret passageway is a classic trope of adventure fiction, it doesn't exactly feature in any Indiana Jones film to date.

What Bill - and writer Mike Bartlett - is probably harking back to is an incident in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In that movie, Indy and his pops Henry Jones Sr use a revolving fireplace. Something that was previously alluded to in Doctor Who in 2006's The Girl in the Fireplace.
