'''''Scooby-Doo''''' was a popular animated TV series by [[Hanna-Barbera]]. It was broadcast on [[Earth]]. It featured [[Scooby-Doo (character)|Scooby-Doo]] and a gang of kids, including [[Shaggy Rogers|Shaggy]], [[Velma Dinkley|Velma]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Slow Decay (novel)|Slow Decay]]'') [[Fred Jones|Fred]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Trace Memory (novel)|Trace Memory]]'') and [[Daphne Blake|Daphne]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the Still (novel)|The Book of the Still]]'').  They faced [[ghoul]]s, [[ghost]]s and [[monster]]s who would most often turn out to be men, usually the [[caretaker]], in [[mask]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Slow Decay (novel)|Slow Decay]]'') The Scooby gang would often split up and search for clues; a decision which would never end well. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Shining Man (novel)|The Shining Man]]'', ''[[The Good Doctor (novel)|The Good Doctor]]'')

There were at least six incarnations of ''Scooby-Doo''. The sixth, dating to the early [[1980s]] had Scooby and Shaggy meeting with real [[ghost]]s and [[vampire]]s. ''Scooby-Doo'' films and series from this era included ''[[The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo]]'', ''[[Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers]]'' and ''[[Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf]]''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Slow Decay (novel)|Slow Decay]]'')

[[Iris Wildthyme]] once watched an episode of ''Scooby-Doo'' in the [[Monk's Pantry Café]] inside the [[Cathedral (Iris Wildthyme and the Unholy Ghost)|cathedral]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Iris Wildthyme and the Unholy Ghost (short story)|Iris Wildthyme and the Unholy Ghost]]'')

[[Rhian Salmond]] reminded [[Anji Kapoor]] of ''Scooby-Doo''{{'}}s Velma. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the Still (novel)|The Book of the Still]]'')

''Scooby Doo'' was known for fake walls and secret doors. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Slaver's Song (comic story)|Slaver's Song]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Only Human (novel)|Only Human]]'') When a section of tree swung open on a "squeaky hinge", [[Rose Tyler]] compared it to a "Scooby Doo secret door". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Only Human (novel)|Only Human]]'') While exploring [[Tupi village (Slaver's Song)|Tupi village]] in [[Brazil]] in [[1682]], Rose and [[Jack Harkness]] were attacked by what they presumed was the ghost of a [[stag]]. When Jack confirmed that the ghost was just a [[hologram]] and found a fake wall to boot, Rose responded "What is this... Scooby Doo?". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Slaver's Song (comic story)|Slaver's Song]]'')

Upon exploring an abandoned and boarded-up house in [[2004]] [[Dundee]], the [[Ninth Doctor]] tried to convince [[Jana Lee]] how it "[had] a touch of the ''Scooby-Doos'' about it". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Girl, Deconstructed (audio story)|Girl, Deconstructed]]'')

In the [[2000s]],<ref>While ''Blink'' itself uncontroversially sets its main setting in [[2007]] and "twenty minutes to [[Red Hatching]]" a year later in [[2008]]—as [[Kathy Nightingale]]'s letter describes taking "one breath in 2007 and the next in [[1920]]", and the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s side of his conversation with [[Sally Sparrow]] in [[1969]] happens 38 years before Sally says hers—these are contradicted by heavily conflicting dates in the ''[[Redacted (audio series)|Redacted]]'' audio series later on regarding both Kathy's disappearance and the Red Hatching. In ''[[Angels (audio story)|Angels]]'', [[Abby McPhail]] identifies 2008 as the year of Kathy's disappearance, which suggests [[2009]] as the year of the Red Hatching. In ''[[Salvation (audio story)|Salvation]]'', the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] recognises the Red Hatching as the cause of death of [[Andy Proctor]], who was last seen by his daughter [[Cleo Proctor|Cleo]] "nearly 20 years" before [[2022]] according to ''[[Recruits (audio story)|Recruits]]''.</ref> [[Larry Nightingale]], upon visiting [[Wester Drumlins]] for the first time, compared the spooky mansion to "Scooby-Doo's house". ([[TV]]: ''[[Blink (TV story)|Blink]]'')

[[Owen Harper]] called himself a "true" ''Scooby-Doo'' fan. [[Toshiko Sato]]'s favourite character was Velma. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Slow Decay (novel)|Slow Decay]]'')

Owen and Tosh later discussed which Scooby Doo characters they would be while heading into the basement of the [[Torchwood Hub]]. Owen stated that he would be Fred, but Tosh though he reminded her more of Shaggy. When Tosh asked Owen which character she would be, she followed it up with "And if you dare say Velma, I'll-". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Trace Memory (novel)|Trace Memory]]'')

In the 2000s, when [[Rhys Williams]] said that [[Torchwood Three]] could hide in the back of his van while he drove up to [[Harries & Harries]]' headquarters, [[Gwen Cooper]] compared the plan to ''Scooby-Doo''. ([[TV]]: ''[[Meat (TV story)|Meat]]'')

After unmasking the [[Hervoken]]-possessed [[Jim Tozier]], [[Martha Jones]] guessed he would say that he "would have got away with it too if it hadn't been for you meddling [[kid]]s", a typical line for unmasked villains. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Forever Autumn (novel)|Forever Autumn]]'') Similarly, when the [[Eighth Doctor]] confronted [[Kai Tobias]] after exposing his scheme, he said "It would have worked too". [[Lucie Miller]] responded with "...if it weren't for us meddling kids?" ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Phobos (audio story)|Phobos]]'')

When [[Rory Williams]] suggested the [[Eleventh Doctor]] was missing "A clue?", the Doctor replied "It's not ''Scooby Doo'', Rory". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Heart of Stone (novel)|Heart of Stone]]'')

In [[2015]], "a Scooby" was modern slang that meant "a clue." [[Andy Hansen]] used the term when she didn't know how to get home after being transported back in time to ancient [[Greece]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Last Pharaoh (novel)|The Last Pharaoh]]'')

In [[November]] [[2016]], when [[Ram Singh]] suggested that there could be a person running behind the walls and down concealed passageways, setting off projections or holograms in the [[Alice Parsons' house|old stone house]], [[April MacLean]] called it a Scooby-Doo ending to their investigations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Stone House (novel)|The Stone House]]'')

While searching for his mother, [[Noah Holland]] decided not to split from his sister [[Masie Holland|Masie]], as "he'd seen enough episodes of ''[[Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated|Mystery Inc.]]'' to know that bad things happen[ed] when the Scooby gang split up". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Shining Man (novel)|The Shining Man]]'')

In [[2017]], [[Shireen (Knock Knock)|Shireen]] branded the creepy home at [[11 Cardinal Road]] a "freaky Scooby Doo house". ([[TV]]: ''[[Knock Knock (TV story)|Knock Knock]]'')

When [[Yasmin Khan]] suggested going off on her own, [[Graham O'Brien]] commented "We all split up and look for clues like in ''Scooby-Doo'' and it don't ever end well". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Good Doctor (novel)|The Good Doctor]]'')

== Alternate realities ==
In [[2007]], [[Pete Tyler (Pete's World)|Pete Tyler]] compared [[the Preachers]] to "[[Scooby-Doo (character)|Scooby-Doo]] and the gang," indicating that a version of the series existed in [[Pete's World]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Age of Steel (TV story)|The Age of Steel]]'')

In an [[Alternate timeline (The Death of Captain Jack)|alternate]] 2017, [[John Hart]] characterised Torchwood Three to [[Jack Harkness]] as being like Scooby Doo "but without the [[dog]] and the [[sexuality|lesbian]]". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Death of Captain Jack (audio story)|The Death of Captain Jack]]'')
