The Lord of the Rings

The Lord of the Rings was a book series by J. R. R. Tolkien. I.M. Foreman had been reading The Lord of the Rings shortly before meeting the Eighth Doctor. She said that it was very long, but she liked the final line. When the Doctor mentioned travelling with someone named "Sam", Foreman was reminded of a character from Rings. The Doctor, for his part, was reminded that Fitz had been talking about Rings. (PROSE: Interference - Book One)

John Waters produced an Oscar-winning film that was a drag adaptation of Lord of the Rings. Bette Davis played Sauron, Joan Crawford played Gandalf the Witch, and Noël Coward played Aragorn. Ron Von Arnim provided the monster special effects. (PROSE: Mad Dogs and Englishmen)

In Stockbridge, Andrew Harper asked Nyssa if the novel she was writing was like Lord of the Rings. (AUDIO: Autumn)

Astrolabus forced the Sixth Doctor to quote the book in The Cabinet of Astrolabus. (COMIC: Once Upon a Time Lord)

While working at a garden centre, Fitz had a conversation with a woman and convinced her that the character of Frodo had been named after a woman with whom Tolkien had had a relationship. (PROSE: The Taint)

Behind the scenes

None of these references explicitly makes the connection between these characters and either J. R. R. Tolkien's books or the film adaptations, although Ram identifies Frodo as coming from an "old movie" his dad Varun Singh likes. (TV: Brave-ish Heart)
