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 1980s.
Television
- In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Neutral Zone", the names of the first six Doctor actors (William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, and Colin Baker) are seen on a screen. (Due to a mistake, Davison's name is misspelled as "Davidson".)
- "Arrivederci Roma", the first episode of Channel 4's comedy programme Chelmsford 123, showed the TARDIS materialising in the background in one scene. The Doctor briefly stepped out before going back in and dematerialising.
- In the third series of the 1989 show, Maid Marian and her Merry Men, "They Came From Outer Space", there is a brief audio cameo of the Daleks, who, as they always do, shout "Exterminate!".
Films
- In the 1985 Lego stop-motion animation (brick film as dubbed by Lego enthusiasts), The Magic Portal has three Lego minifigures who find themselves outside of their Lego universe and in the human world, via the use of the mysterious titular "Magic Portal". They are then subsequently attacked by a squad of "Daleks" (who are in fact made from a combination of a tippex bottles and screws).
