 * [[File:Dr Yowl's BARDCDIS.jpg|thumb|The interior of [[w:c:arthur:Dr. Yowl|Dr Yowl]]'s [[TARDIS|BARCDIS]]. (''[[w:c:arthur:Carried Away|Carried Away]]'')]]In the {{wi|Arthur (TV series)|Arthur}} episode "Carried Away" (2015), a dog called "Dr. Howl", a cousin to Arthur's pet dog Pal, appears. The character wears a brown hat and red scarf, giving him an appearance similar to the [[Fourth Doctor]], and he travels through space in a blue dog house-shaped ship called the BARCDIS ("Ballistic Astro Rocket for Carrying Dogs in Space") which is bigger on the inside and contains a console similar to that of its inspiration.
 * [[File:Regular Show Dalek.jpg|thumb|A [[Dalek]] in a crowd of [[Robot|robots]]. (''[[w:c:regularshow:Robot Rap Battle|Robot Rap Battle]]'')]]In Cartoon Network's {{wi|Regular Show}}, the YouTube minisode ''[[w:c:regularshow:Robot Rap Battle|Robot Rap Battle]]'' features robots who resemble [[Bronze Dalek]]s without [[Dalek eyestalk|eyestalks]] and mounted onto mechanical legs.
-* The {{wi|DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' reboot}}, having cast [[David Tennant]] as the voice of [[Scrooge McDuck]], dropped many allusions to time-travel, the intentionality of which was confirmed by showrunner (and noted Whovian) Francisco Angones on Twitter. Among them is Scrooge's ownership of a time machine disguised as a grandfather clock (like [[the Master]]'s [[Goth's TARDIS|second TARDIS]]) and his ironic distaste for time-travelers in the 2018 Christmas special ''Last Christmas'', whose title is, of course, shared with [[Last Christmas (TV story)|an earlier ''Doctor Who'' Christmas special]]. The series also cast [[Catherine Tate]] (who played a [[Donna Noble|one of the companions]] of Tennant's Doctor) as the villainous Magica De Spell, a decision which the filmmakers later confirmed was partially spurred by the knowledge that Tennant and Tate verifiably had "great chemistry" together.

[[Michelle Gomez]] ([[Missy]]) later appeared as Matilda McDuck, Scrooge's sister.
 * In ''The Venture Bros.'', the TARDIS appears in Season 5, owned by St Cloud.
 * In ''Detentionaire'', the cloning room Lee and Biffy found is similar to the genius room.
