Gandalf

Gandalf was a character in The Lord of the Rings. In John Waters' drag adaptation of the book, Gandalf the Witch was played by Joan Crawford. (PROSE: Mad Dogs and Englishmen)

When the Saxon Master sent a message to Martha Jones via a television broadcast, he showed her the aged Tenth Doctor and sarcastically said, "Say hello, Gandalf." (TV: Last of the Time Lords)

Later, the Eleventh Doctor said he was "the outer space Gandalf". (HOMEVID: Meanwhile in the TARDIS)
