| 11 | ''Series/DoctorWho'' is a [[LongRunners long-running]] British television series, having run for over sixty years. [[Characters/DoctorWhoDoctors The Doctor]] is, of course, ''the'' character from the show and so has become a popular target to {{Homage}} or [[StockParodies parody]], especially since the {{Revival}} that began during the TurnOfTheMillennium. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Homages or parodies of the Doctor tend to have on or more of the following traits: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * Their {{Cloudcuckoolander}} nature. |
| 16 | * A title in place of a name. |
| 17 | * A PunnyName |
| 18 | * [[UsefulNotes/BritishAccents An English accent]], usually [[IAmVeryBritish RP]], although a few doctors have had non-RP accents.[[labelnote:Which?]][[Characters/DoctorWhoNinthDoctor Two]] [[Characters/DoctorWhoThirteenthDoctor Doctors]] have had [[OopNorth Northern accents]], [[Characters/DoctorWhoSeventhDoctor another]] [[Characters/DoctorWhoTwelfthDoctor two]] spoke in UsefulNotes/{{Scot|land}}tish accents, and [[Characters/DoctorWhoFifteenthDoctor yet another]] has a UsefulNotes/{{Rwanda}}n accent.[[/labelnote]] |
| 19 | * [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes An outlandish outfit]], often combining elements of different Doctors' {{Iconic Outfit}}s, such as [[Characters/DoctorWhoFourthDoctor long stripy scarves]], [[Characters/DoctorWhoSixthDoctor multicoloured overcoats]], [[Characters/DoctorWhoSeventhDoctor symbol-spangled clothes]] and [[Characters/DoctorWhoEleventhDoctor bow ties]]. |
| 20 | * UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}}, near-universal {{fanon}} for the character for most of the series' run. Parodies commonly mock or subvert this characteristic. |
| 21 | * A [[TimeMachine time]] and/or [[CoolShip space]] ship disguised as a random object, often a telephone box[[note]]Distinct from the original show's police call box[[/note]] or [[ToiletHumour portable toilet]]. And of course, it's BiggerOnTheInside. |
| 22 | * A propensity for time and/or space travel using said ship, and if they don't have that, they might use portals that somewhat evoke the door of the classic call box, if their method of travel is specified at all. May include a swirling vortex effect in homage to the show's time vortex. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Even the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse has a few Expies of the Doctor due to the funkiness of copyright rules for licensed ''Doctor Who'' material as explained on its page, not counting other time travelers who the Doctor has inspired. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ---- |
| 27 | !!Straight Examples: |
| 28 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 29 | [[folder:Doctor Who Expanded Universe]] |
| 30 | * ''Literature/FactionParadox'' is a ''Doctor Who'' spin-off that had to have the SerialNumbersFiledOff for copyright reasons. A Homeworlder (not Time Lord) called the Evil Renegade rather than the Doctor appears. The corpse of his final regeneration called the Relic is a major MacGuffin. |
| 31 | ** The Time Lords become the Great Houses, who travel in Timeships ([=TARDISes=]) and are led by a War King who is clearly the Master. The Homeworld of the Great Houses was formerly defended by artificial beings called "casts" (Shaydes from the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comic strip), and an attempt to produce semi-sentient casts created homicidal maniacs called "babels" (N-Forms from the Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures). |
| 32 | * The Minister of Chance, a Time Lord voiced by Creator/StephenFry, filled in for the Doctor in part of ''WebAnimation/DeathComesToTime'', in which the Doctor himself also appeared. At the conclusion of the story, [[spoiler:the Doctor dies]]. If, as as intended, the series had served as a pilot for a revived version of ''Doctor Who'', the Minister of Chance would have [[spoiler:taken over from the Doctor and presumably also taken his title]]. Instead, the character was spun off into the non-''Doctor Who'' series ''Podcast/TheMinisterOfChance''. |
| 33 | * FASA's licensed ''Doctor Who'' tabletop RPG, which came out in the [=mid-'80s=], encouraged players to create Time Lords other than the Doctor, who would work for the Time Lords' special ops division the Celestial Intervention Agency (already part of the Franchise/{{Whoniverse}}) and have human companions. The flavor text for the base game had a Time Lord named Stan (short for his Gallifreyan name) and an adventure called ''The Lords of Destiny'' had stats for the Professor and his companions. |
| 34 | * When Telos Publishing lost their license from Creator/{{the BBC}} to publish ''Doctor Who'' literary material, they spun off their gentleman time traveller character Honoré Lechasseur and his travelling companion Emily, who debuted in a ''Doctor Who'' novella of theirs, into their own series ''Literature/TimeHunter'' which is in continuity with said debut novella. The Doctor does make recurring appearances in the series, under the WritingAroundTrademarks name "Dr. Smith". |
| 35 | * ''Turlough and the Earthlink Dilemma'' by Tony Attwood, the first full-length licensed ''Doctor Who'' original novel, which starred the Doctor's companion Turlough, had a Time Lord called the Magician. |
| 36 | * The novels have an InUniverse TV show called ''Professor X''. It featured a strange scientist who travelled the universe in a time machine that looked like a pillar mailbox, and fought monsters such as Cybertrons, X-Terminators and Snow Vikings. The incarnation of the Professor who appears in the TrappedInTVLand chapter of the ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'' novel ''No Future'' is clearly played by Frankie Howerd. |
| 37 | ** Another InUniverse ''Franchise/{{Whoniverse}}'' TV show is called ''Doctor X'', introduced in the online ''In Search of Doctor X'' Erimem spin-off short story. It gets mentioned in a few ''Series/BBVProbe'' episodes. |
| 38 | ** And yet more in-universe in the comics- the Ninth Doctor encounters a Slitheen impersonating him to star in a series called ''Doctor Who?'' in ''Doctormania'', complete with attractive companion "Penny" and said impersonator's in-character autobiography ''Doctor's Orders'', and the Twelfth Doctor has an adventure involving the creators of ''Time Surgeon'', involving expies of him, Clara, the Daleks, and the Tardis. |
| 39 | * ''Franchise/IrisWildthyme'' was originally a DistaffCounterpart parody of The Doctor, who later got [[CanonWelding Canon Welded]] into the ''Doctor Who'' novels and audio plays as a Time Lady who has a history with The Doctor. |
| 40 | ** Iris sometimes interacts with a man nicknamed El Jefe, a parody of the First Doctor who worked for the Lords Temporal but got bored and stole a wordship. When the "First Meetings" short story was reprinted as When Iris Met Billy he's renamed The Doctor as Magrs was allowed to use names from the Doctor Who franchise. |
| 41 | ** The "In The Sixties" short story had Iris attend a party held by a man called Dr Oho who later takes his guests home in a phonebox. He seemed to be based on the Creator/PeterCushing and Creator/PatrickTroughton incarnations of The Doctor. |
| 42 | * The ''[[Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures New Adventures]]'' novel ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresNightshade Nightshade]]'' has The Doctor meet the lead actor from the titular TV show that WordOfGod says is a cross between ''Doctor Who '' and ''Franchise/{{Quatermass}}''. |
| 43 | * ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' had a mysterious unnamed shopkeeper who could teleport and had time portals in the back of his shop. An article in ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' said it was originally supposed to be The Doctor dropping off baby Sky with Sarah Jane but they used the shopkeeper when they had trouble getting Creator/MattSmith. Notably Creator/RussellTDavies likes to think he's The Corsair, a pirate-themed Time Lord introduced in the Creator/NeilGaiman episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E4TheDoctorsWife The Doctor's Wife]]". |
| 44 | * ''ComicBook/DoctorWhoTitanTwelfthDoctor'' has The Doctor finding an InUniverse comic called ''Time Surgeon'' loosely based on himself. |
| 45 | [[/folder]] |
| 46 | |
| 47 | [[folder:Audio Drama]] |
| 48 | * Creator/SylvesterMcCoy made appearances in several semi-professional audio plays made by Creator/BBVProductions. Here he appeared as "the Professor" while Creator/SophieAldred appeared as... Ace. (BBV thought that they could get away with this.) Due to legal pressure from Creator/{{the BBC}}, they were renamed Dominie (Scots for "schoolmaster") and "Alice", respectively. |
| 49 | * The Wanderer (or "Fred"), an amnesiac time traveller played by Creator/NicholasBriggs (who had previously played a fan-audio version of the Doctor, who had become sort-of-canonical through a cameo in the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comic strip), again for BBV. In his first appearance he faced the "Cyberons", who (according to the CD cover) even had familiar-looking head-handles. |
| 50 | * The titular character of ''Podcast/TheMinisterOfChance'', who weirdly enough spun out of an official ''Doctor Who'' animation (see above). |
| 51 | * Ford Prefect from ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' can be summed up as the Doctor, if he just didn't care. Creator/DouglasAdams (who worked on [[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E2ThePiratePlanet his first DW script]] before getting a job as script editor for the show) said he wanted to write a character who would react to a threat to the universe by looking for a party. |
| 52 | [[/folder]] |
| 53 | |
| 54 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 55 | * ''ComicBook/HeroesForHire:'' has Professor Justin Alphonse Gamble, an energetic, bizarrely dressed fat British man who pops up throughout the time stream, seen combating the Incinerators who wheel around shouting their name at everything. Late of the [[TimePolice Time Variance Agency]], his mode of conveyance is a disappearing shop which helpfully changes to suit the time period. Clearly based on the Doctor, with probable special emphasis on the Fifth Doctor (the incumbent at the time of Gamble's first appearance, circa 1982). |
| 56 | * ''ComicBook/{{Irredeemable}}'' has Qubit. In a comic series where most of the characters are [[{{Expy}} expies]] of other superheroes and villains, Qubit is an homage to the Tenth Doctor in looks and demeanor. He has MessyHair and a BadassLongcoat, and is a NonActionGuy, ScienceHero, and SquishyWizard with the [[{{Technopath}} power to create almost any device he imagines if he has some tools to work with]]. |
| 57 | * During the Slott/Allred run of the ''ComicBook/SilverSurfer'', he is depicted as basically the Marvel Universe version of the Doctor, complete with hero-worshipping contemporary-Earth everywoman companion. |
| 58 | * Creator/ValiantComics has [[ComicBook/IvarTimewalker Ivar Anni-Padda]], an immortal time-traveler from ancient Mesopotamia fittingly given the title "Timewalker". While he lacks many of the usual Whomage traits, Valiant does adapt the Doctor's formula of randomly travelling to different locales: in place of a TimeMachine Ivar instead has a Tachyon Compass that lets him navigate "time arcs", brief wormholes that serve as gateways between two random points in space-time. His run in the 2012 reboot continuity even gives him a companion in the form of Dr. Neela Sethi, a physicist who goes on to become a Timewalker in her own right (in a manner not dissimilar to ''Doctor Who's'' own Clara Oswald). |
| 59 | [[/folder]] |
| 60 | |
| 61 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 62 | * ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm''[='=]s version of Doctor Strange, a nigh-immortal time-traveler, powerful {{Seer|s}}, a brilliant schemer, and a compulsive meddler, who gained many of his powers by [[spoiler: contact with the Time Stone]] and works for the good of all, no matter what it costs him. He's also a FriendToAllChildren, with a reputation for making [[PopCulturedBadass pop-culture references]], [[GreatGazoo exploiting his powers for his own amusement]] [[TheGadfly (often at the expense of those around him)]], and coming off as a bit of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes dress sense and all]]. [[BewareTheSillyOnes This leads some to underestimate him, which is usually both their first and last mistake]] - he's also an arrogant and domineering figure, a ruthless manipulator who has a ''very'' well-earned reputation as TheDreaded, a taste for [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment creative]] [[LaserGuidedKarma punishments]], and a very limited capacity for mercy when faced with evil. |
| 63 | ** Throughout the series, he's steadily guiding events to prepare Earth and its heroes to go up against Thanos, often through morally dubious means that lead him to sometimes sadly speculate that he's crossed into HeWhoFightsMonsters territory. For this reason, he's mentioned in his main counterpart's listings in Magic and WMG/TimeLord as the [[WellIntentionedExtremist 'Time Lord Victorious']] version of the character. Considering that the show is fiction in-universe, and Strange is very (sometimes bitterly) aware of the similarities, it all gets horribly and confusingly meta. |
| 64 | [[/folder]] |
| 65 | |
| 66 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 67 | * Deconstructed in ''Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania'' with [[Characters/MCUKang Kang]]: he's without a doubt a scientific genius who not only figured out inter-universal travel but built technology that makes him damn near close to a RealityWarper. The problem is that despite his intellect, the complexities of the multiverse and time travel prove too big for him to properly manage, and he’s far too narcissistic to admit it, even when his hubris has led to the destruction of entire timelines. He does seem to think he has better ways of managing the time stream (and He Who Remains shows that it is possible to do so to an extent) but he is seriously lacking any kind of moral fetters to restrain his actions; he will rationalize any mistake or all-out slaughter he commits as TheNeedsOfTheMany so that he can continue to live out his delusion that he’s a put-upon ScienceHero that just knows better than literally everybody else (even his own alternate counterparts) rather than what he truly is–a dangerously powerful and irresponsible rogue who believes himself TheHero. Coming off less like a [[MessianicArchetype Multiversal Messiah]] and more of a [[SatanicArchetype Space Satan]]. Ironically, this makes him resemble not the Doctor, but instead the Master or Rassilon. |
| 68 | * The Creator/ChristopherLee Literature/{{Dracula}} film ''Film/TheSatanicRitesOfDracula'' has Creator/PeterCushing's Van Helsing as scientific advisor to a paranormal investigation unit of British Intelligence, with a Brigadier-esque boss, a granddaughter assistant, and the Count (now calling himself "The Master") is an international supervillain presiding over a plague while disguised as a property developer. Don Houghton had written [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E4Inferno two]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E2TheMindOfEvil serials]] for ''Doctor Who'' a few years earlier, and it seems to have been a model for this film. |
| 69 | * Newt Scamander, the protagonist of ''Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'' and ''Film/FantasticBeastsTheCrimesOfGrindelwald'', has enough similarities to the [[Creator/MattSmith Eleventh]] incarnation of [[TheNthDoctor the Doctor]] to be called an expy of him: similar haircut and clothes, has a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} personality, can't stand still and his briefcase he always has with him is "bigger on the inside", having an entire nature reserve where he keeps and cares for the "fantastic beasts" he discovers and protects from muggles and hunters. Even better -- Creator/MattSmith was considered for the role. |
| 70 | * As with Sylvester [=McCoy=] as "The Professor", Creator/ColinBaker had earlier appeared in a series of semi-professional DirectToVideo productions called ''The Stranger'' as the titular character, with Creator/NicolaBryant as "Miss Brown" (sans her FakeAmerican accent this time). Many fans regarded these as an unofficial continuation of Baker's role as the Sixth Doctor. He gets [[DivergentCharacterEvolution less Doctor-like]] as the series goes on. |
| 71 | * In ''Film/AThousandKissesDeep'', Max is a kindly grandfather figure who befriends a young woman named Mia and takes her time travelling through a box shaped time machine (in this case a lift), and when meeting 10 year old Mia joking states that he’s ReallySevenHundredYearsOld. Hilariously, Creator/DavidWarner [[ActorAllusion did voice]] the Doctor years earlier in audio dramas while Mia is played by future Thirteenth Doctor Creator/JodieWhittaker. |
| 72 | [[/folder]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 75 | * In the UrbanFantasy works of Creator/SimonRGreen, Father Time takes the form of a gray-haired gentleman in an Edwardian suit and cravat. At one point, he remarks that "the Travelling Doctor" has a lot to answer for, in regards to how he, Father Time, appears to mortals these days. |
| 76 | * Professor Chronotis from ''Literature/DirkGentlysHolisticDetectiveAgency'' is more or less exactly the Doctor -- but then, Creator/DouglasAdams used his own ''Doctor Who'' scripts "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E2CityOfDeath City of Death]]" and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E6Shada Shada]]" for [[SelfPlagiarism inspiration]]. (Although the character who ''very roughly'' maps onto the Doctor's role in "Shada" is Dirk himself.) |
| 77 | * ''Literature/LifeTheUniverseAndEverything'' was originally written by Adams as a screenplay titled ''Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen''. Slartibartfast from the original ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' novel shows up with his Starship Bistromath standing in for the [=TARDIS=] and fills the role of The Doctor with Arthur and Ford as companions. |
| 78 | * ''Literature/DoctorOmega'' was a 1906 science fiction novel by French writer Arnould Galopin, and an interesting inversion before being played straight. Inspired by Creator/HGWells' novels ''Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' and ''Literature/TheFirstMenInTheMoon'', it follows the adventures of the eponymous scientist Doctor Omega and two compatriots in the spacecraft ''Cosmos''. In the original novel, Dr. Omega bears a coincidental resemblance to the First Doctor. In 2003, Los Angeles's Black Coat Press published an edition "adapted and retold" by Jean-Marc Lofficier and Randy Lofficier. In addition to other changes, references were added to imply that Doctor Omega was the Doctor from ''Doctor Who'' (Jean-Marc had previously written a few ''Doctor Who'' non-fiction books for the original series). |
| 79 | * Calum P Cameron, creator of the ''Literature/MediochreQSethSeries'', says the titular protagonist is a composite of The Doctor, ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' and ''Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant''. |
| 80 | * Lady Aesculapius from ''Literature/The10000Dawns'' is a time-traveling, dimension-traveling alien who changes bodies every time she dies. Her race, The Firmament, are basically Time Lords if they were [[GuardianOfTheMultiverse Guardians of The Multiverse]] rather than TimePolice. |
| 81 | * Dr. Tachyon from ''Literature/WildCards''. A heroic renegade from a race of haughty aristocratic HumanAliens, known for being a [[AgentPeacock flamboyantly dressed]] InsufferableGenius ScienceHero. Though he's a womanizer where the Doctor is chaste and a bit of a failure while the Doctor is fairly invincible, and his species is known for OrganicTechnology, not time travel. |
| 82 | * In ''Literature/TheBalancedSword'' series, one of the enigmatic mentor characters who occasionally show up in the fantasy world of Zarathan is the Wanderer, a mysterious wizard who is known to be centuries old, reputed to be from another world, and has been seen with many different faces. In ''Phoenix in Shadow'', he makes a dramatic entrance with a rhyming BadassBoast that's a direct quotation from a ''Doctor Who'' novelty single. |
| 83 | * In a rather bizarre example, an erotic romance novel called ''The Stranger'' by Portia da Costa features an expy of [[Series/DoctorWho the Eighth Doctor]]. The character named "the Stranger" has the same name as the actor who played Eight (Paul), and is described very similarly, including wearing an Edwardian frock coat and suffering [[TraumaInducedAmnesia amnesia]]. The heroine Claudia Marwood shares a surname with Creator/PaulMcGann's character from ''Film/WithnailAndI'' (which is also referenced in-story), and speculates whether the Stranger might really be an alien. When Paul recovers his memory he turns out to be a doctor, though it's never more than implied that he's ''the'' Doctor. To make matters even weirder, this all merits a sort of ContinuityNod in the ''Doctor Who'' Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures novel ''Father Time'': the Doctor mentions spending time in England in 1976 with "a young widow named Claudia". {{Fandom}} speculates that "Portia da Costa" might be a pen name for the same author, which would make for a very strange case indeed of AscendedFanfic. |
| 84 | * ''Literature/TitusCrow'' has been compared to The Doctor due to travelling through time and space in the BiggerOnTheInside De Marigny's Clock. Creator/BrianLumley argued back that the clock was taken from the Creator/HPLovecraft story, "Through the Gates of the Silver Key" where an alien wizard uses a clock as a spaceship. |
| 85 | [[/folder]] |
| 86 | |
| 87 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 88 | * The 1980-1982 HTV kids' fantasy series ''Into the Labyrinth'' starred Creator/RonMoody as a mysterious time-travelling magician called Rothgo who recruits the help of three children to help him chase a valuable McGuffin through time and space, against an evil witch. Many of the writers, including the showrunner, had worked on ''Doctor Who''. And one episode (Creator/RobertHolmes' "Shadrach") is almost a companion piece to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]", but with Indian thuggees instead of Chinese Tongs. Moody had been offered the role of the Doctor at least once (but turned it down post-''Film/{{Oliver}}'', only to regret it when his film career didn't work out as hoped). The series may have been created purely to give him a Doctorish vehicle. |
| 89 | * Another ITV series, 1971's ''Jamie'', was perhaps even more blatant. The story entailed a young boy named Jamie who became the companion of a mysterious cosmic hobo named MISTER ZED who ran an antique shop. The fact that Jamie was the name of one of the Doctor's previous companions may or may not have been a coincidence. |
| 90 | * Although not from a SciFi show, Raymond Reddington from ''Series/TheBlacklist'' is seen as being an {{Expy}} of the First or Sixth Doctor by some ''Doctor Who'' fans. The fandom of ''The Blacklist'' hasn't apparently noticed. |
| 91 | * The 1980 educational show ''[[http://www.broadcastforschools.co.uk/site/Maths-in-a-Box Maths-in-a-Box]]'' had an eccentric alien travelling with two human children in a magical box (so they could teach him, and the children watching, basic mathematics). |
| 92 | * Creator/StevenMoffat created Colonel X, a RefugeeFromTVLand who appeared in one episode of his series ''Series/PressGang''. Creator/MichaelJayston, who had played a [[FutureMeScaresMe evil possible future]] of the Doctor, appeared as the colonel, an enigmatic super-spy. |
| 93 | * Creator/NeilGaiman says in the DVDCommentary to ''Literature/{{Neverwhere}}'' that he conceived the Marquis De Carabas as a black ''Doctor Who''. |
| 94 | ** Interestingly, his actor Creator/PatersonJoseph was considered a likely candidate to replace Creator/DavidTennant as The Doctor and played Rodrick in the episodes "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E12BadWolf Bad Wolf]]" and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E13ThePartingOfTheWays The Parting of The Ways]]". |
| 95 | ** Hilariously enough, Creator/PeterCapaldi played Islington. |
| 96 | * ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' turns ComicBook/RipHunter, who isn’t particularly like or unlike the Doctor in the comics, into one of these. Rip is a renegade [[TimePolice Time Master]] who went on the run and hired various assistants to help him stop Vandal Savage. From Season 2 onwards, his time machine even has a hexagonal console. Funnier still, he's played by Creator/ArthurDarvill, who had [[CastingGag previously played a companion to the Eleventh Doctor]] (Rory Williams, to be precise). |
| 97 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'': |
| 98 | ** Gary Seven from the ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Original Series]]'' episode, "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E26AssignmentEarth Assignment: Earth]]". He descends from a group of TransplantedHumans and was sent by aliens to protect humanity. Notable for having a similar MagicTool called a servo that debuted on [=TV=] within the same month as The Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver. |
| 99 | ** The ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'' episode ''[[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS02E016FutureTense Future Tense]]'' involved the crew finding a BiggerOnTheInside spaceship from the future with a dead pilot. This episode was originally intended to be a crossover with ''Doctor Who'' or at least of the time machine being shaped like a phonebox as a nod but these were scrapped for copyright reasons. |
| 100 | * Sam Tyler from ''Series/LifeOnMars2006'', specifically the Ninth Doctor - a time-traveller, eccentric (by 1973 standards), speaks with a Manchester accent, sports a short haircut and wears a leather jacket. His surname also alludes to Rose Tyler, the Doctor's companion at the time the show originally aired. What a coincidence, then, that his actor, Creator/JohnSimm, would go on to play [[Characters/DoctorWhoJohnSimmsMaster the Master]] in ''Series/DoctorWho''. |
| 101 | [[/folder]] |
| 102 | |
| 103 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 104 | * ''Magazine/{{Dragon}} Magazine'' issue 100 had a full module called "The City Beyond the Gate", which had the adventurers travel to modern-day (circa 1985) London. Among the random encounters is one where the characters approach a blue police box. A "[[Creator/TomBaker tall, curly-haired man in a floppy hat and a long scarf"]] enters, trailed by [[Creator/ElisabethSladen a woman who says "Doctor, what are we going to do now?"]] After they enter, the box slowly vanishes. |
| 105 | * ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' |
| 106 | ** ''Spaceships 7: Divergent and Paranormal Tech'' features a time travel ship for the TimePolice, notable in how it's BiggerOnTheInside and has a disguise system allowing it to disguise itself as various everyday things, such as a phone box. |
| 107 | ** The article "Mega-Max" in ''Pyamid Magazine'' #3/93 is about an ExtranormalPrison franchise. One of the prisoners is a British scientist known only as the Professor who claims to be a time traveller whose time machine is disguised as an everyday object and can escape from a normal prison by creating weird gadgets out of random junk. He's in prison because he's been convicted of multiple cases of abduction. |
| 108 | * ''TabletopGame/MutantsAndMasterminds'': |
| 109 | ** The Tick-Tock Doc of the TabletopGame/FreedomCity setting is the Doctor if he were a hippie, a WellIntentionedExtremist and a [[LikableVillain likable]] AntiVillain. His appearance in the ''Freedom City's Most Wanted'' source book is [[ComicBookFantasyCasting very obviously based off]] Creator/DavidTennant. |
| 110 | ** The Time Traveler's Codex source book has the "Quantum Alien" as a new character archetype, complete with [[MagicTool "Quantum Spanner" that functions as a multitool, scanner and universal remote]], [[BizarreAlienBiology "redundant organs"]], [[TheNthDoctor the "Rejuvenation" ability]] and a "Time Capsule" with [[BiggerOnTheInside the "Dual Size" feature.]] One of the suggested names is even "Professor When". |
| 111 | [[/folder]] |
| 112 | |
| 113 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 114 | * ''VideoGame/DragonFable'' has Doctor When, who is practically one giant love letter to The Doctor. His outfit is a combination of the Tenth Doctor's suit and the Eleventh Doctor's bowtie. He travels around in a TARDIS-like phone box called a time-booth that's "[[BiggerOnTheInside smaller on the inside]]", and uses what looks like the sonic screwdriver as a weapon. When defeated he regenerates into a new form. In Book 3, the Hero decides to simply call him "Doctor" after some punny confusion over his name. |
| 115 | * ''VideoGame/Fallout1'' presents the opportunity to witness the TARDIS in a random encounter. It will warp away as the player approaches, but leaves a Stealth Boy in its wake. |
| 116 | * The ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' mission "Sunrise" (which kicks off the game's [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Temporal Cold War]] story arc) is packed with ''Doctor Who'' references: {{time travel}}er Kal Dano arrives from the far future in the game's 25th century present day on a small ship that is BiggerOnTheInside, with a roughly circular interior around a cylindrical console at the center. |
| 117 | * ''Videogame/Wizard101'' has the Professor. This being a game that thrives on pop culture references, a list of similarities would make this entry disproportionately long. |
| 118 | [[/folder]] |
| 119 | |
| 120 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 121 | * Merlin in the space arc of ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'' is a [[ScienceFantasy time traveling wizard]] from the lost planet of Avalon whose time machine is accessible from a wooden door that appears in a random wall. It's especially noticeable when he's traveling with Morgan or Nimue. The webcomic's writer/artist, Paul Gadzikowski, is a long-standing ''Series/DoctorWho'' fan. |
| 122 | * ''Webcomic/{{Endtown}}'': Aaron Marx, a weirdo who seems unfazed by the apocalypse, has a variety of vaguely defined powers that seems to include dimensional travel, and the author has specifically stated he was modeled after the Second Doctor. |
| 123 | [[/folder]] |
| 124 | |
| 125 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 126 | * ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' and both its SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'' have Professor Paradox, who is ''very clearly'' modeled on the Doctor and falls more into being an {{Expy}} than a CaptainErsatz of him, although he has all the hallmarks of the Doctor, and takes inspirations from different regenerations, such as the fact he DoesntLikeGuns. He has a tendency to give out gumballs like how the Fourth Doctor does with jelly babies, his Chrono Navigator resembles a fobwatch like the one the Tenth Doctor carries (later taking the form of a gauntlet like Rassilon's), had his arm cut off like the Tenth Doctor did, and uses the phrase "spoilers" like Eleventh Doctor companion River Song. |
| 127 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has Time Turner/Doctor Hooves, who is Ponyville's timekeeper -- a nod to the Doctor's role and time travel. However, he's a minor character, and is relegated mainly to cameos. In the fifth season, he gets a single DayInTheLimelight episode along with other minor characters, "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife Slice of Life]]". |
| 128 | * In ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'', Professor Greyman is a flamboyant extraterrestrial scientist who wears a Creator/TomBaker-esque fedora and scarf. However, in a unique twist, he's [[TheGreys a grey alien]] instead of a HumanAlien, and his accent is German instead of British. |
| 129 | * [[Characters/RickAndMortyRickSanchez Rick Sanchez]] from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' is a darker and more jerkassy version, being a dimensional traveler rather than a time traveler (he considers time travel too problematic on principle, and would rather avoid the TimePolice who deal with actual temporal activities). Though he is primarily written as a parody of Doc Brown from ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'', WordOfGod cites that ''Doctor Who'' was indeed one of his inspirations. One episode even has him calling himself "Doctor Who" as a BadassBoast to give a comparison of just how superior he actually is to normal people. |
| 130 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep movie ''Farmmageddon'', a clay version of the [[Creator/TomBaker Fourth Doctor]] appears coming out of a port-o-potty, only to go back in once a sheep (in a Dalek disguise) goes past. |

| 137 | * The "Adventures of Doctor Pepper" 2019 ad campaign for the soda Dr. Pepper features an eccentric SharpDressedMan who gained the ability to travel through time after combining the drink's 23 flavors. He warps through history in a swirling soda vortex that resembles the time vortex and has a RobotBuddy from the future. |

| 141 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 142 | * Being a British publication, ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' has taken a crack at lampooning the Doctor several times. |
| 143 | ** The ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' story "Doctor What" features a scientist by the name of Troughton Watt, being merged together with an illegal nano-cloud and a public restroom, granting him the ability to use the toilet to travel through time and begin meddling with it. Unfortunately, the timeline is much less robust than in the original series, and so Judge Dredd takes him down as a criminal. Virtually every name thrown in the story -- from an illegal scientist to a ''pet rat'' -- is after a character from the series, an actor, or a producer. Several catchphrases and common terms such as "companion" and "Geronimo!" are also liberally thrown about. |
| 144 | ** In another story, Dredd arrests a hapless time traveler from the past, whose increasingly mutated and unhinged future selves then attempt to rescue him. In the end, they manage to stop him from travelling in time altogether, and are dressed as various Doctors as they do so. |
| 145 | * From Creator/MarvelComics: |
| 146 | ** Though not The Doctor himself, a certain (though legally distinct) Brigadier [[note]]Allysande[[/note]] Stuart is a recurring character in ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}'', the leader of a UK-based government paranormal intelligence agency known as the [[FunWithAcronyms Weird Happenings Organisation.]] [[note]]A character named Brigadier Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart also appeared in an earlier issue of ''The Uncanny X-Men'' (#218), though the two are unrelated, the latter being a straight ShoutOut to the fact that Marvel was publishing Doctor Who comics in the UK at the time. Only the throwaway nature of the reference kept the issue from being ExiledFromContinuity.[[/note]] |
| 147 | ** The ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' were gathered by the Time Broker, a being who exists beyond time and uses AFormYouAreComfortableWith. The form the reader sees is a small balding man wearing outrageous clothing, possibly another reference to a certain Time Lord. |
| 148 | * The ''ComicBook/RickAndMortyOni'' comic books have Doctor Tock and Peacock Jones: |
| 149 | ** Professor Tock is a HeroAntagonist who travels through time and space with the mission of arresting those who abuse time and space. He looks like a cross between the First Doctor's elderly appearance with the Sixth Doctor's multicolored clothes, with the Seventh Doctor's hat and umbrella tossed in for good measure. |
| 150 | ** Peacock Jones is an alien adventurer who travels across space in a magic elevator who seeks out female companions to take on adventures. He expects and insists upon earning sexual favors in exchange for taking them on his adventures. If they die, he immediately looks for the next sexy companion and carries on. This is a jab at how most Doctors have had at least one female companion at one point or another to accompany them, and the romantic subtext these relationships have often had in the new series. |
| 151 | * ''ComicBook/{{Viz}}'' did a parody called ''[[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CVpK352m5q8/UpBYvzMVYFI/AAAAAAAACBs/iK7RYPDmZws/s1600/doctor+poo+scan.jpg Doctor Poo]]'' who travels all over time and space [[PottyEmergency looking for a toilet]]. |
| 152 | * Tom Davison from ''ComicBook/PS238'' is a time traveller who's named after two of the ''Doctor Who'' actors. |
| 153 | * [[https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_%28franchise%29?file=TenRoseBuffyComic.jpg A couple resembling the Tenth Doctor and Rose]] cameo standing in front of a red phone box in the ''ComicBook/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' story, "No Future For You". |
| 154 | * A [[ShowWithinAShow Comic Within A Comic]], ''Hot-Rod Cow'' read by ''The Bash Street Kids'' from ''ComicBook/TheBeano''. His name is an anagram of "Doctor Who" and he carries a sonic moo-driver. |
| 155 | * The Italian [[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse Mickey Mouse]] story "[[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+3225-6&search=inseguimento%20epocale Mickey Mouse and the Chase between Ages]]" features Mickey and Goofy meeting during one of their usual time travels a man called "The Engineer" who owns a time travelling schoolbus and is obsessed with bowties and fezzes. The story was originally supposed to be published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of ''Doctor Who'' (which explains why the Doctor parody is heavily based on Matt Smith's portrayal), but due to ExecutiveMeddling they didn't manage to publish it in time and came out only four years later. |

| 158 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 159 | * Creator/BBVProductions, creators of ''The Professor'', ''The Stranger'', and ''The Wanderer'' (see above under straight examples), eventually parodied their own tendency to do this with the SelfParody ''Do You Have a Licence to Save This Planet?'', in which Sylvester [=McCoy=] played the "Foot Doctor", who travelled through time and space in a washing machine, battling the monsters BBV had the rights for, and thinly-disguised versions of the ones they didn't, while avoiding the Licensed Reality Corporation and their attempts to have him removed from Accepted Canonicity. |
| 160 | * ''Film/CarryOnScreaming'' features Creator/KennethWilliams as "Dr. Watt", who though a mad scientist on the side of evil, claims to be Who's nephew. |
| 161 | * In ''Film/SpaceJam'' the Nerdlucks watch a basketball game disguised in a coat, hat and oversized scarf as a nod to Creator/TomBaker portraying the Fourth Doctor. |

| 164 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 165 | * Adam Roberts wrote a parody novel in 2006 called ''Doctor Whom: E.T. Shoots and Leaves''. |
| 166 | * One of the patients in Saint Baphomet's in the first ''Literature/SecretHistories'' novel is a hand that's trying to regrow a new body. It belonged to a Time Agent who accidentally turned himself inside out the last time he regenerated. |
| 167 | * ''Franchise/StarTrek'' novels; |
| 168 | ** A man with a similar appearance to the Fourth Doctor makes a cameo in [[Creator/BarbaraHambly Barbara Hambly's]] novel, ''[[Literature/Ishmael1985 Ishmael]]'' with a companion being fought over by men implied to be [[Franchise/StarWars Han Solo]], [[Series/BattlestarGalactica1978 Apollo and Starbuck]]. |
| 169 | ** In the ''Literature/StarTrekVanguard'' novel ''Harbinger'', Cervantes Quinn mentions he stole a sonic screwdriver from "a rather daft chap" on Barolia. |
| 170 | * In ''Website/TheCrewOfTheCopperColoredCupids'' story ''The Grand Multiverse Hotel'', the Cupids mention they saw a time traveller with a bowtie who had blown up his reality, put it back together again, and later nearly blown it up again by trying to kill Death, referencing the Time Fracture. |

| 173 | [[folder:Live Action TV]] |
| 174 | * ''Series/{{Community}}'' has the ShowWithinAShow ''JustForFun/InspectorSpacetime'', which is basically just a bizarro universe copy of ''Doctor Who''. Apparently within the ''Community'' universe, ''Doctor Who'' does still exist, but only as the less-popular ripoff of ''Inspector Spacetime''. |
| 175 | * Creator/ChristopherEccleston appeared as "Dr. Lazer Rage" in a ShowWithinAShow on ''The Sarah Silverman Program''. This means that he reprised his role of the Doctor on a professional production before his official return to the role... sort of. |
| 176 | * Sylvester [=McCoy=] put in a moving appearance as the time-traveling Lollipop Man both in a ShowWithinAShow and as the actor who played him on the medical soap ''Series/{{Doctors}}''. |
| 177 | * A ''[[https://youtu.be/zsuTX-PNl3g Doctor What]]'' fan sketch on ''Jeremy Beadle's Hollywood Hotshots'' had Doctor What and his ScreamingWoman companion travelling in their [=BARDIS=] [[note]]Beverage And Refreshment Dispenser In Space[[/note]] fridge. Going up against the Headmaster and his Dalek-like Cyber Bins. |
| 178 | * ''Series/YoureSkittingMe'' has one sketch known as "Doctor Who Downunder" where one version of the Doctor regenerates into a teenage bogan, with his previous companion Susan now having to put up with his incompetence. He also uses a time travelling bike called a TARDBIS in place of the TARDIS, as well as carrying a Sonic Sausage Roll. |
| 179 | * The [=TARDIS=] materializes in the background of the first episode of ''Series/Chelmsford123'' with a silhouette of a man who looks like the Fourth Doctor getting out and looking around briefly before getting back in again. |

| 184 | ** A brief sketch on ''Series/SesameStreet'' had Mando as "Doctor Two," with an Anything Muppet playing his regeneration. |
| 185 | ** In an appearance on ''Entertainment Weekly'', Grover played the Eleventh Doctor with Cookie Monster in drag as Amy Pond. |
| 186 | [[/folder]] |

| 188 | [[folder:Radio]] |
| 189 | * TheSixties ensemble comedy show ''Radio/ImSorryIllReadThatAgain'' had a long-running ShowWithinAShow called ''Professor Prune And His Electric Time Trousers'', which featured an eccentric old buffer and his intrepid youg assistants, travelling through space and time in the aforementioned Time Trousers. |
| 190 | [[/folder]] |
| 191 | |
| 192 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 193 | * ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' AD&D 1st Edition module [=WG7=] ''Castle Greyhawk'' contained one level that was a parody of other popular roleplaying games of the time. In the room parodying FASA's ''Doctor Who Roleplaying Game'' (above) an oblong blue box appears out of nowhere. Out of it appears a halfling dressed like the Fourth Doctor named Professor Why, complete with two "absolutely gorgeous women" and an armored dog named B-9. The professor calls the blue box the CURDIS (Chronically Unable to Reach Destination In Silence). If the [=PCs=] enter it, they discover that it is BiggerOnTheInside; if they leave in it (which they may do if they fail a save to fall in love with the companions on sight), they're never seen again. |
| 194 | * Illuminati University in the ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' supplement ''[[TabletopGame/GURPSIlluminatiUniversity IOU]]'' has the College of Temporal Happenstance, Ultimate Lies, and Historical Undertakings (CTHULHU), whose dean is Doctor What[[superscript:7]] (the number's because there are seven different versions of him from different parts of the timestream, matching how many incarnations of the Doctor there were at the time of publication). The version(s) in the book's art look like black Fourth Doctors. They use a blue portable toilet with a light on top as their home and office - the Temporally Oscillating Interdimensional Lift with Endochronosynclastic Tendencies, or TOILET for short. |
| 195 | * The ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'' [[CanonDiscontinuity unproduct]] ''Vulture Squadron of Dimension X'' has a long, extended parody wherein the [=PCs=] crash their time machine into a thinly veiled {{Expy}} of the TARDIS piloted by an even less thinly veiled {{Expy}} of the Fourth Doctor, and then fight even more thinly veiled parodies of Davros, the Cybermen, and the Daleks. The adventure's finale is less a thinly veiled parody of ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}'' and more a [[RefugeInAudacity carbon copy]]. |
| 196 | * The ''TabletopGame/{{Toon}} Ace Catalog'' includes the Ducktor and the Mouseter, The Doctor and The Master as a cartoon duck and mouse, respectively. |
| 197 | [[/folder]] |
| 198 | |
| 199 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 200 | * ''[[Series/TheMuppetShow The Muppets Take the O2]]'' had an extended sketch guest starring Creator/DavidTennant as the Tenth Doctor (replaced by Creator/PeterDavison as the Fifth Doctor for the Saturday performance), who used a "regeneration chamber" to turn Link Hogthrob into a series of different Muppet characters portraying all 13 Doctors. |
| 201 | * Shortly after ''Doctor Who'' appeared on TV, a teenage Creator/DouglasAdams wrote a school play called ''Doctor Which''. Adams notably went on to write for the show and create some of the Whomages on this list. |
| 202 | [[/folder]] |
| 203 | |
| 204 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 205 | * ''VideoGame/EverQuest'' added an NPC into its Seeds of Destruction expansion known as [[{{Spoonerism}} Tavid Dennant]]. If the nod to the actor isn't obvious enough, the character sends the players on a quest to help find his misplaced multi-colored scarf. He also misplaced a pocket watch that he can't recall who actually gave it to him, but feels it is an important part of him. This is a very specific nod to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E9TheFamilyOfBlood "The Family of Blood."]] |
| 206 | * ''VideoGame/EverQuestII'' features an NPC during the Tinkerfest celebration: a gnome by the name of Professor Andipholitz Whatzzit, more commonly known as Professor What. He wears an unusually long scarf (for a gnome) and is interested in learning history about the city of Ak'Anon from before [[TurnedAgainsttheirMasters clockworks took it over]]. He is accompanied by his companion, Rosealyn, who offers a quest to advance her own studies into history. |
| 207 | * ''[[https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=96&id=1416 Doctor What]],'' a ZX Spectrum game from the mid-80s, saw Doctors When, Why, Where, and What, all with hangovers, searching for each other in their quest to find the Jelly Baby of Ultimate Wisdom. Its cover art featured a parody of the neon logo and a TARDIS--sorry, TRYDIS--with a giant muffler and fuzzy dice hanging off of it. |
| 208 | * In ''[[VideoGame/{{Deponia}} Deponia Doomsday]]'', a game all about time travel, Rufus ends up in Paradox City, where a diner hosts several time travellers, one of which is a doting, elderly man named Vince. Vince has white, thinned-out, but still fluffy hair and wears a light-grey hoodie, making him visually a combination of the First and Twelfth Doctors. His time machine, the "Retardis", is a green, pear-shaped box with noticeable similarities to German port-a-potties, which is "smaller on the inside". Rufus has to sit on Vince's lap and is noticeably uncomfortable. |

| 213 | * ''Webcomic/UnwindersTallComics'': [[http://tallcomics.com/comic?sort=99 In this comic,]] Barbecue Sauce is reading "some non-canon comic continuations of old, canceled, BBC science fiction shows". We get a closeup of the ''Professor Bluebottle'' comic cover, featuring a scientist hero in a goofy white suit, accompanied by two younger companions, squaring off against aliens known as the Dops. |

| 216 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 217 | * In ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'', Milo and Sara's [[ShowWithinAShow favorite show]] is ''The Doctor Zone Files''. The main character is a HumanAlien with a British accent, TimeTravel motif, and totally bananas fashion sense. ''He's got one foot in the future / And one foot in the past / He's got one hand in the present / [[VisualPun Or at least in a gift-shaped cast]].'' |
| 218 | * ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' has the ShowWithinAShow of ''Doctor Time, Space and the Continuum''. It's rather popular among nerds, and the Amish chapter of the KND have to keep it a secret because they're not even supposed to have a TV or electricity to operate. Nothing is actually shown of the show, but dialogue indicates that the main character is a particularly intelligent character. Numbuh 1, Numbuh 4, and most other normal operatives find the show to be insufferable. [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment The nerds will force people to watch it as punishment]]. |
| 219 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' once featured a dog version of ''Doctor Who'' as a ShowWithinAShow. He was patterned after the Fourth Doctor and traveled around in a blue doghouse that was BiggerOnTheInside and had a fairly-accurate central console modeled after the 1983-1989 version. |
| 220 | * ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'': |
| 221 | ** in "Custard," DM and Penfold and a bug they've retrieved to help alleviate the flood of custard on Earth are in a [[ItMakesSenseInContext pink hole]]. They come across a door; entering it, they emerge on Earth through "a time-traveller's potting shed." |
| 222 | ** "The Hickory Dickory Dock Dilemma " has the heroes in a grandfather clock that takes them through time. They invoke ''Doctor Who'' when they find this out. |
| 223 | * British ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' clone ''Full English'' had a future Jamie Oliver in a phonebox time machine. He had shades of Rufus from ''Franchise/BillAndTed'' in that he helped the teenage protagonists to pass a history exam by taking them at gunpoint to watch various people have sex in the past. |
