Behind the scenes

• The Klingons are one of the major races of the Star Trek universe. They have appeared many times in all seven television series and all but two of the films.
• In the Top Gear "Master of the Universe" segment, a Klingon raced around the Top Gear track against a Dalek, a Cyberman and Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor (as well as Darth Vader from Star Wars and Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon).
• In the Doctor Who television story The God Complex, a woman in Howie Spragg's room on the prison ship which held the Minotaur asks Howie how to say "loser" in the language "K-K-K-Klingon". Though The God Complex doesn't make a direct connection to the race, this is an obvious reference to the language spoken by the Klingons.
• J. K. Woodward, who worked on the Star Trek crossover Assimilation², released a piece depicting River Song dressed as a Klingon holding a bat'leth.
