Does anyone have any idea what may have inspired the Pakistani Dalek sketch? Initially I thought that it may have been the coup led by Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq but that article and History of Pakistan give the date as 1977 rather than 1975, so I must have misremembered. Naturally, we should have sources indicating that someone else (or Milligan himself, of course) confirmed that the sketch was inspired by whatever event, but in any case, thoughts?-- Sean Black (talk) 21:20, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Of course, it's crap, and it was done for charity just like Curse of Fatal Death, but IIUC JN-T wanted it to be considered a "real" Doctor Who adventure. It doesn't come across as intentionally funny (just funny in an oh-my-God-that's-so-awful way). I think that a "spoof" requires comic intent, not just effect, which would exclude DiT. — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 05:51, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Did Dead Ringers show the Second and Seventh Doctors before their 2005 Christmas special? If not, we might want to rephrase the last paragraph of that section to indicate that it was only one sketch (so far). — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 06:23, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree that the SNL sketches were described in far too much detail before Khaosworks pared them down, but I think that the quotation from the Paris Hilton sketch is just plain odd enough to merit inclusion. I'm not a Paris Hilton fan, but I do admit that the cognitive dissonance caused by the juxtaposition of Doctor Who with one of our most vacuous celebrities is jarring enough to be funny.
So that folks don't have to look through the page's history, the quote is:

Anyone got the details of the December 1963 sketch with Clive Dunn as the First Doctor to hand?

I remember a spoof sketch of Doctor Who from the 1970's, featuring Daleks made from dustbins with sink plungers for guns. It is not listed in this article - does anyone else remember it, and remember which comedy show it was from?
Theres a sketch on TV Ark from a show called "End of Part One" which features a dustbin Dalek, maybe that's the one you're thinking of.

In TARDIS#Popular culture, there's a mention of a brief appearance by the TARDIS and (silhouetted) Doctor in one episode of Chelmsford 123. I haven't seen this — should it be included in this article as well? — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 17:32, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Dunno whether to add this or not but there's an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head where they are somehow declared geniuses and are moved to a higher class.

I'm not sure if it's notable or not, but Verity Stob has a rather literate parody of Torchwood by way of Under Milk Wood here.

There was an episode of Heartbeat a couple of years ago where a man is having delusions, one of which was that he saw a police box (the 2005 version of the TARDIS). All his other delusions were accounted for as being real events, except for the police box. If anyone knows more about this, can they please add it to the article. I'm not that up on Wikipedia editing. VaughnJess 07:20, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I recall a sketch from Harry Hill's Channel 4 show in which Peter Davison appeared alongside a Cyberman. I think the premise was that Davison was appearing either as himself, or another character, and the Cyberman was a "surprise" addition to the scene. Then there was a later scene with Davison and the Cyberman chatting over a cup of tea in the show's "green room". Anyone else remember this one?
Also, at around the same time, Hill did a UK stand-up tour. Part of the show featured a Dalek on stage interacting with Harry. Early in the show, Harry does a Doctor Who song in which he sings the names of all the actors who have played the Doctor to a fast paced tune (in an Animaniacs style), ending with a pause and "... aaaaaaaaaaaand Peter Cushing!" In the encore, the Dalek moves to the front of the stage and asks Harry if he wants to hear the Dalek's Doctor Who song. The Dalek then sings to the same tune, only swapping the actors' names for "bastard", but ending with the same "... aaaaaaaaaaaand Peter Cushing!" Kelvingreen 10:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I apologize for making a major change without waiting for consensus, but this article was in desperate need of reorganization. By placing every entry in its own section, chronologically, without regard for medium, there were 67 sections. It was so badly organized as to scarcely be encyclopedic. I have reorganized the entries into 8 sections, which should make the page easier to navigate, and certainly makes it look much more like an encyclopedia article. If anyone objects, I open the floor to discussion. DOSGuy ( talk) 21:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Someone recently removed a reference to Buffy Season 8 because it wasn't a spoof. I think we should define what a spoof is.
I say it was a spoof because it was a joke. It was not a licensed or official Doctor Who appearance, and I'm sure that no one asked the BBC for permission to include those characters and likenesses in the comic book. It was an Easter Egg or sight gag, and the appearance of the characters and TARDIS were altered to avoid copyright violations. To me, that's what a spoof is. Does anyone disagree?

Some years ago I saw a sketch on TV (on a comedy show I think) which showed a sci-fi convention with someone playing the actor of Doctor Who (with the scarf and hat of the fourth one I guess). There was a female fan who was dressed just like him (maybe with a lot of scarves) who talked like an aspie-like nerd and stalked him afterwards to when he had lunch (or similar). The woman looked like Jennifer Saunders but it wasn't the sketch from 87 listed in the article and maybe I remember wrong. Does anyone recognize this?

If you google "Inspector Spacetime" or "Blorgons" you will find a wealth of online and printed parodies, wikis, netflix spoofs, and so forth. Seems to be growing in popularity as an entire fleshed-out alternate universe. Should it be mentioned in this wikipedia page?

Does anyone have any idea what may have inspired the Pakistani Dalek sketch?

Lindsay Fleay created a short film "The Magic Portal" in 1988, which features Tippex correction fluid bottles as Daleks. I remember this when it was broadcast on Australian TV in 1988 and here it is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jde4qHbCtSg -- TrogWoolley ( talk) 10:55, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
I had always assumed that the phone booth from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was meant to be a parody of the Doctor's TARDIS. Can anybody get definitive confirmation or refutation of this? If it is meant to be a spoof of the TARDIS then Bill & Ted definitely belongs on this list — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.121.6.113 ( talk) 03:35, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

An episode of the Goodies set in space has a cameo from the TARDIS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:44B8:1124:6600:CC52:ABBE:43BA:1031 ( talk) 10:14, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
If you google "Inspector Spacetime" or "Blorgons" you will find a wealth of online and printed parodies, wikis, netflix spoofs, and so forth. Seems to be growing in popularity as an entire fleshed-out alternate universe. Should it be mentioned in this wikipedia page?
Wow, bots even run on and revert links on talk pages?
