Community In the season 3 episode "Biology 101", Britta introduces Abed to the long-running British sci-fi show "Inspector Spacetime", a spoof on Doctor Who, after he suffers a nervous breakdown from running out of episodes of the real life series Cougar Town. Since then, Inspector Spacetime is often referenced throughout the duration of the series, namely in the episode "Conventions of Space and Time", where Abed and the study group attend an Inspector Spacetime convention and meet various actors and super-fans of the series, including one played by Matt Lucas, who would later play Nardole in the series.
Coupling The series was notable for its references to Doctor Who as Steven Moffat, (who would later write and produce episodes for Doctor Who) was an avid fan of the show. In one notable episode, a Dalek appears, voiced by Nicholas Briggs, who would also later go on to provide Dalek voices for the revived series. [7][8][9]

Later, when Erin is stood up by her original date, James decides to go with her, wearing a tuxedo and the same multicoloured scarf as the Fourth Doctor.

The series was created by former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat and writer Mark Gatiss.
