Star Trek

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Star Trek was a popular American television series later adapted into movie form.

Unlike a cloaking device, a TARDIS doesn't simply make itself inconspicuous or invisible. It literally changes.

Other information

  • Destrii watched a real life spacecraft design closely resembling that of the fictional Enterprise (DWM: Oblivion)
  • The unofficial novella The Doctor and the Enterprise by Jean Airey, initially published privately and then in a professional edition in 1989 by Pioneer Books, features an apocryphal adventure featuring Captain Kirk's crew and the Fourth Doctor. The Pioneer edition excises most references to character names from Star Trek, referring to Kirk as "The Captain", McCoy as "The Physician", etc., however the editing is not perfect and a few references to "Kirk", etc. remain in the book. In addition, the book includes many illustrations clearly showing recognizable characters, aliens and spaceships from Star Trek (including one image of the USS Enterprise with its name clearly visible), as well as images of the TARDIS and of Tom Baker as the Doctor.
  • A line cut from the script of The Empty Child would have had the Doctor reply to Rose saddling him with the "Mr. Spock" nickname, "I'd rather be Doctor Who than Star Trek".
  • An early episode of the series was titled "The Enemy Within". Doctor Who: The TV Movie would later be given this title unofficially by fans.
