The existence of the TV series ''[[Doctor Who]]'' within the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]] is a metafictional gimmick with a long and storied history within licensed ''Doctor Who'' fiction. The show itself stopped just shy of confirming the existence of a series called ''Doctor Who'' within its universe on two occasions; the first was in ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', where a [[TV series (Remembrance of the Daleks)|TV series]] whose title began with "Doc…", and which debuted on the same date as the real-life ''Doctor Who'', was briefly mentioned — only for the characters (and viewers) to miss the full name of the programme. Many years later, a poster featuring the [[Twelfth Doctor]], [[Clara Oswald]] and [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] was glimpsed in the background of the [[Series 8 (Doctor Who)|Series 8]] episode ''[[In the Forest of the Night (TV story)|In the Forest of the Night]]'', but with no title visible.

''[[The ArcHive Tapes (audio anthology)|The ArcHive Tapes]]'' established the [[Earth Document]]s, a series of audio-visual documents which were essentially in-universe recordings of the Doctor's adventures, as a rationale to utilise archive audio from ''Doctor Who''.

The bus seen in ''[[In the Forest of the Night (TV story)|In the Forest of the Night]]'' was cardboard, as it was too hard to transport a real [[bus]] into the [[forest]]. The [[advert]] seen on the bus was a fan-made poster for [[Series 8 (Doctor Who)|series 8]] of ''Doctor Who'', made by [[Logan Fulford]].

The ''Doctor Who'' annuals seen in [[COMIC]]: ''[[A Groatsworth of Wit (comic story)|A Groatsworth of Wit]]'', while are clearly recognisable, the specific years are too small to make out. In the real world, these annuals correspond to the [[Doctor Who Annual 1968|1968]] and [[Doctor Who Annual 2006|2006]] annuals.
