* In the television cartoon, ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'', there is a recurring background pony named Time Turner who bears a resemblance to the Tenth Doctor. In the episode "The Super Speedy Cider Sqeezy 6000", Time Turner can be seen wearing a tie similar to the Tenth Doctor's and operating an elaborate hourglass. Another reference is seen on one of the covers of the official comic, in which Time Turner can be seen wearing the Fourth Doctor's scarf, holding the fob watch, and standing in front of a statue that resembles a Weeping Angel, and a street light that bears a resemblance to the TARDIS. On top of all his official trading card says "Time Turner keeps Ponyville's clocks in sync, sets the hourglass for cider competitions, and takes care of all things timey-wimey.". In the episode "One Bad Apple", Time Turner wears a pear costume and a polka-dotted bowtie. It's also worth noting that various forms of the Doctor and possibly the Master have been seen in pony form. | * In the television cartoon, ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'', there is a recurring background pony named Time Turner who bears a resemblance to the Tenth Doctor.
