* {{wi|2DTV}} features multiple sketches derived from ''Doctor Who''. | |||
** A sketch set in [[2052]] has [[Queen]] [[Elizabeth II]]'s 100 year reign commemorated with a [[jubilee]]. [[Prince Philip]] is seen in a chair resembling [[Davros' chair]] but with a [[gunstick]] which he uses to shoot one of the Queen's [[corgi]]s while exclaiming "Exterminate! Exterminate!" much like a [[Dalek]]. | |||
** Another sketch features a pair of [[grey Dalek]]s who have returned to "exterminate the new Doctor, whoever he is". One is met by fashion gurus [[Trinny Woodall]] and [[Susannah Constantine]]. Trinny observes "30 years on and still the same old cheesy outfit", adding that perhaps it suited the Dalek "in 1970". The pair then give it a makeover in the style of ''[[What Not to Wear]]'', including a [[bra]] worn over two of its "[[sense globe|baubles]]". The Dalek then exclaims "Accessorise! Accessorise!" before passing a [[CyberNeomorph|1980s-style]] [[Cyberman]], who it brands a "skinny [[bitch]]". | |||
** Another sketch features a singing grey Dalek participating in the parody talent show ''Galaxy Idol''. Among the judges is the [[Fourth Doctor]], who comments that he hated the performance, adding "but then I am your sworn enemy." Finally, [[Simon Cowell]] gives the Dalek "four words", "ex-ter-min-ate". The Dalek then bursts into tears and is consoled by [[Ant McPartlin]]. Parked outside Galaxy Idol Studios is [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] among many other science fiction spacecraft. | |||
* In the fifth episode of the second season of the ABC television series {{wi|Better Off Ted}}, the scientists Phil and Lem name the small robot designed to clean up spills in their laboratory [[Chumbley]]. This is the name that [[Vicki Pallister]] gives the robots that she, [[Steven Taylor]] and the [[First Doctor]] encounter in ''[[Galaxy 4 (TV story)|Galaxy 4]]''. Later in the same episode, Phil and Lem enter a room full of used robot parts. A [[Dalek]] can be seen clearly in the corner nearest the door. | * In the fifth episode of the second season of the ABC television series {{wi|Better Off Ted}}, the scientists Phil and Lem name the small robot designed to clean up spills in their laboratory [[Chumbley]].
