Doctor Who

In Smashed, Andrew mentions Doctor Who, a cult British sci-fi series following an eccentric doctor and his companion as they travel through time and space. Several actors have portrayed the Doctor since 1963. A new series is currently being aired, starring Christopher Eccleston as the tenth Doctor and Billie Piper as his fellow traveller.
In As You Were, Riley says that the person with the demon eggs calls himself “The Doctor”, which may also be a reference to Doctor Who.
Anthony Stewart Head auditioned for the role of the eighth Doctor, before his Buffy fame. The role eventually went to Paul McGann, but in 2003 Tony was voted by Radio Times and SFX readers as the person they’d most like to play the Doctor.
