The chain of shops [[Forbidden Planet (shop)|Forbidden Planet]] took its name from the film selling science fiction and fantasy merchandise. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[In Search of Doctor X (short story)|In Search of Doctor X]]'') | Citing the poor state of the fabric of time, the [[Tenth Doctor]] became aware of Shakespeare's struggles writing ''The Tempest'' and decided to intervene in the writing process. The Doctor arranged for Shakespeare to pick up a [[battery]]-powered [[Blu-ray]] player and a copy of ''Forbidden Planet'' for inspiration. Shakespeare thought it was "a little far-fetched" with some of the concepts "unfamiliar" to him, but that the central premise was "intriguing" and bore "some similarities" to what he had intended to do with his play. The Doctor explained that was the point and that ''Forbidden Planet'' was inspired by the play Shakespeare was about to write. The Doctor encouraged the playwright to "raid it for [[idea]]s", claiming that because, "in a way", they were really his own, it was "not [[Theft|stealing]]". Shakespeare was originally annoyed the [[writer]]s of the film would draw inspiration from his play without paying him, but the Doctor explained his works were out of [[copyright]]. Shakespeare's integration of elements from ''Forbidden Planet'' eventually left him with a play he felt "should be a real crowd-pleaser". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tempest – A Work in Progress (short story)|The Tempest – A Work in Progress]]'') The character of [[Robby the Robot]] from the film ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Grimm Reality (novel)|Grimm Reality]]'') served as the direct basis for [[Ariel (The Tempest – A Work in Progress)|Ariel]].
