Occasionally, elements of the Doctor Who universe are referenced in the broader popular culture. This page exists to throw a spotlight on some of these casual references made in television, comics, films and other media which happened during the 1990s.
Television
Mr. Bean plays with a toy Dalek in the titular show.
- In one episode of Mr. Bean, Mr. Bean plays around with toy animals in front of a diorama of Jesus's birth. He eventually begins to bring out a toy Dalek, and pretends that it killed a toy lamb.
- Green Courage, an episode of Fox Kids' children's action series Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, featured an on-screen note claiming that a meteoroid field that had just collided with a planet was located at "ten zero eleven zero zero, by zero two from galactic zero," in the constellation of Kasterborous. In Pyramids of Mars, these coordinates are given as the location of Gallifrey.
Video games
Fallout 2
The TARDIS appears in Fallout 2.
- The TARDIS can be found in the Desert, although it disappears after a while.
- A speaking cyborg by the name of K9 is a recruitable companion. It refers to the player character as "Master", whenever it is an active member of the party.
Lemmings 2: The Tribes
The exit for one of the levels in Lemmings 2: The Tribes is the TARDIS.
- The exit for the "Shadow Tribe" level is clearly the TARDIS.
Comics
Disney Comics
- The 1999 Donald Duck comic story The Last Time Lord was a mashup spoof of Doctor Who and Star Wars where Donald was accidentally confused for the last surviving Time Lord in the universe after digging up a "laser sword" clearly standing in for a Star Wars lightsaber (the Jedi and the Time Lords being conflated in the story's mashup cosmology), and beamed up to outer space to battle a cyborg tyrant. Regeneration is alluded to, as the cyborg tyrant readily accepts Donald as his old Time Lord nemesis due to knowing that "your lot can change faces".
