'''"Zog"''' was a colloquialism [[Donna Noble]] once employed to indicate to the [[Tenth Doctor]] that she was referring to "a hypothetical planet". ([[DW]]: ''[[The Unicorn and the Wasp]]'')

'''Zog''' was a [[planet]] which had a city named Zaggit Zagoo. Within the city was [[Zaggit Zagoo bar|a bar]]  [[Jack Harkness]] visited. [[The Doctor]], before his tenth [[regeneration]], came to the bar as well to introduce Jack to [[Alonso Frame]]. The two men chatted as the Doctor left. ([[DW]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

*Though the words "planet Zog" were spoken on screen in [[The Unicorn and the Wasp]], it is likely that [[Donna Noble]] was just inventing what was to her a fictional planet.
*In ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] visits an unnamed bar in an unnamed city on an unnamed planet. Though the episode as televised leaves the audience clueless as to the identity of these places, [http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:NyXG4v1ZDcwJ:www.thewriterstale.co.uk/pdfs/End%2520of%2520Time%2520Part%2520Two/Doctor%2520Who%25204%2520Ep.18.GOLD.pdf the script] and online commentary were more forthcoming.  Between these two out-of-universe sources, writer [[Russell T Davies]] specified the planet as "Zog" the bar as the "[[Zaggit Zagoo bar]]" and the city as "Zaggit Zagoo".
*The planet on which the bar Jack visited was located was never named on-screen. The Zog of The End of Time was named [http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:NyXG4v1ZDcwJ:www.thewriterstale.co.uk/pdfs/End%2520of%2520Time%2520Part%2520Two/Doctor%2520Who%25204%2520Ep.18.GOLD.pdf in the script] of that episode, and in the commentary which accompanied its broadcast.
*"Zog" is casual shorthand for "some arbitrary alien planet". Russell T Davies used that phrase a lot, for example when describing a scene in Doctor Who as "the planet Zog... again, Cardiff."
