Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Pink Floyd song "One of These Days", from the group's 1971 album Meddle, quotes the Doctor Who theme from the 3:02 mark.

In the television story The Caretaker, the Twelfth Doctor whistled Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" at Coal Hill School. Caretaker does not identify "Wall" as a work by Pink Floyd, but contextually it is exceedingly clear that he is in fact whistling that tune.

In The Woman Who Lived, the Doctor plays "Wish You Were Here", another song by the band, on his electric guitar, but again the piece is unidentified.
