Behind the scenes
In Doctor What 1, a Doctor called "...and I" appeared, a reference to Paul McGann's role in Withnail and I. Additionally, Paul's Withnail and I co-star Richard E Grant also exists in-universe.
In Portia Da Costa's erotic novel The Stranger, which featured an amnesiac character to parse as the Eighth Doctor, the mysterious stranger's true name was "Paul Bowman", obviously derived from Paul McGann.
The novel is of note to this Wiki due to both Father Time and The Gallifrey Chronicles referencing it a couple of times, however as the novel featured no legal link to Doctor Who, it is not currently covered by this Wiki.
A version of McGann appeared in the speculative story Father Time: "Set Visit", published in 2001.
Information from invalid sources
When looking back on the events immediately following on from the Seventh Doctor's regeneration into the Eighth Doctor in 1999 San Francisco, a later incarnation of the Doctor noted that he "looked like Paul McGann" in the footage he presented. (NOTVALID: Introduction to the Night)
