Woody Allen

Some time in the 1970s, Mike Yates took Jo Grant to see the new Woody Allen movie. When she told John Benton her plans, he retorted, "Better you than me" — he was not a fan of Allen's films, and preferred the Carry On line when it came to comedy. Jo agreed — "He's not really that funny, is he?" — and admitted they were only going to see that movie because she'd already seen the other one playing. (PROSE: The Face of the Enemy)

Behind the scenes

Annie Hall, in the real world, was directed by and starred Woody Allen. According to the comic story A Rose by Any Other Name, the Tenth Doctor binge-watched that film and others after losing Rose Tyler.

Woody was presumed to be playing Albert Einstein in TV: Voyage of the Damned according to The Sun Newspaper. Neither him, nor Albert Einstein appeared in the episode.
