The character wears a brown hat and red scarf, giving him an appearance similar to the [[Fourth Doctor]], and he travels through space in a blue dog house-shaped ship called the BARCDIS ("Ballistic Astro Rocket for Carrying Dogs in Space") which is bigger on the inside and contains a console similar to that of its inspiration. | ||

* The {{wi|DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' reboot}}, having cast [[David Tennant]] as the voice of [[Scrooge McDuck]], dropped many allusions to time-travel, the intentionality of which was confirmed by showrunner (and noted Whovian) Francisco Angones on Twitter. Among them is Scrooge's ownership of a time machine disguised as a grandfather clock (like [[the Master]]'s [[Goth's TARDIS|second TARDIS]]) and his ironic distaste for time-travelers in the 2018 Christmas special ''Last Christmas'', whose title is, of course, shared with [[Last Christmas (TV story)|an earlier ''Doctor Who'' Christmas special]]. The series also cast [[Catherine Tate]] (who played a [[Donna Noble|one of the companions]] of Tennant's Doctor) as the villainous Magica De Spell, a decision which the filmmakers later confirmed was partially spurred by the knowledge that Tennant and Tate verifiably had "great chemistry" together. [[Michelle Gomez]] ([[Missy]]) later appeared as Matilda McDuck, Scrooge's sister. | * The {{wi|DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' reboot}}, having cast [[David Tennant]] as the voice of [[Scrooge McDuck]], dropped many allusions to time-travel, the intentionality of which was confirmed by showrunner (and noted Whovian) Francisco Angones on Twitter.
