I’m surprised you didn’t mention the death of the Brigadier. One of the most touching moments in the show’s history occurs when the Eleventh Doctor, knowing that his impending death is getting ever closer, calls the Brig for a day out, only to be told that the old soldier had passed away. Of course, this came in the wake of Nicholas Courtney‘s real death, which had occurred some months earlier. It’s a brilliant scene, and very, very meta.
I always thought the most meta thing happened in real life. When the Doctors daughter played the Doctors daughter, then married the Doctor and had the Doctors daughter.
3:27 Best ever TARDIS introduction reaction was Clara: "It's smaller on the outside". So cool, because in theory, the TARDIS is bigger than the entire universe.
I always thought Matt Smith’s departure to be quite meta. “I will not forget one line of this” One line? Like on a script? To me this sounded more like Matt Smith talking than the Doctor. This applies to the whole scene before he regenerated but that line in particular stuck out to me. I love it.
Fun fact the continuity announcer in remembrance of the daleks was originally supposed say Doctor Who and then show the opening moments of An Unearthly Child. It was even filmed and recorded but they decided to cut it out
you know, the 1st Doctor's 4th wall break (to the audience) could be retroactively justified in that maybe he's aware that even if he's on the run from the Timelords they are constantly monitoring him and his adventures and he cheekily was wishing THEM a friendly Merry Christmas back HOME on Gallifrey..?
@@Morphstock if I remember this correctly the explanation would also tie in neatly with the 5th Doctor not wanting his Tardis bugged in 'Arc of Infinity' maybe but I could be wrong on this
Nice to see under the lake/before the flood getting some recognition. Under rated story in my opinion. One of Capaldi’s better offerings, and I think people forget about it a bit.
My 2 favourite meta things: 1. TORCHWOOD is an acronym for DOCTOR WHO and was the original working title during 1st series filming. 2. Every time "Doctor Who" appears/is said
@@dreamfeaster you should see all the doctor who fanfics about some random girl somehow ending up all over the doctors timeline. Honestly, its overused now.
My favorite meta Doctor Who moment -- prior to being announced as the 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi was in the movie World War Z and credited as "WHO Doctor" (World Health Organization).
I was fully expecting #1 to be the Fourth Doctor in "The Invasion of Time" turning to the camera and saying, "Even the sonic screwdriver won't get me out of this one!"
The Doctor? Fictional? No, never, not possible. Even the very first episode in 1963 is a documentary which will be made in the far future. I know, because I was in that future...
@@BritishBeachcomber Did I say he was real? NO! Did I say that the show is real? NO! I said I find it weird that ppl say he knows he’s a fictional character?!! U absolute gallah
One other meta moment in Remembrance of the Daleks was when the British scientists say they wish “Bernard” and the British Rocket Group were there to help them, a reference to the title character and organisation from The Quartermass Experiment, another BBC as sci-fi production.
You missed out the whole drum-beat / timelord heartbeat bit from the end of Tennant's era. How much more meta can you get than making the rhythm of the show's theme tune a major plot point?
Love it so much when Doctor Who goes metta, and I agree totally with your list, however you didn't include the tinny but Huge moment in Heaven Sent when the Doctor says "I'm nothing with out an audience", glancing directly at camera
I've always loved Remembrance of the Daleks. A subtle meta gag in The City of Death sees John Cleese staring at the Tardis (which is parked in an art gallery), discussing how it must be a statement on art as it is so mundane it would never be put into an art gallery. The Doctor and Leela then get in and dematerialise while Cleese does not react. The Big Finish audio series also has an array of meta jokes. Zagreus sees doctors 5, 6 and 7 discussing how they regenerated with 6 being annoyed that he was taken out with 'a bump on the head' and 7 complaining that 'he never would have seen his coming'.
As seen in the season 3 ending Martha leaves the TARDIS and the Tardis crashes into the Titanic. But in the charity special where 10 meets 5. Martha leaves the TARDIS then the 10th doctor meets the 5th doctor then afterwards crashes into the Titanic. I don't always like it when they put a stories into a moment where it doesn't look like anything could have happened.
The best piece of Doctor Who trivia of all time: who was the first to ask "Doctor who?"? It was the Doctor, confused by Ian Chesterton addressing him as Doctor Foreman. Ian then pondered the same question while talking to Barbara.
Love and Monsters is a guilty pleasure. I loved the idea of a non companion exploring who the Doctor is, and to a degree, the concept of the monster. While I am with the consensus on the ending and the execution of the monster, I have to give credit for sticking with their commitment of using a creature a child created. Oddly, I did not care for Under the Lake/Before the Flood outside of a few moments. This could be partly due to my dislike of water and feeling part of it is another monsters in a spaceship tale. What I did like (aside from the bootstrap paradox scene) is their display of someone with a disability as a leader. Aside from probably that scene of her dealing with the the Fisher King. At the same time, I wonder if it was written for an able bodied person as a way to show how a deaf person would understand and respond. While tiny and only appeared in two scenes, a special mention should be given to the times Sarah Jane Smith called for Mr. Smith, and either asked for him to appear quietly (in Sarah Jane Adventures,) and asking if he needed to appear with so much fanfare (The Stolen Earth.)
Robots Of Death episode 4 : The Doctor "he's a mad scientist (looks straight into camera) ....a very mad scientist" , then later to Taron Capel "You're not one of those boring megalomaniacs who's going to gloat?"
@@julieeverett7442 the first tale I remember properly was Terror Of The Autons, although I have an indelible memory of Jon Pertwee using a space rocket to rescue lost astronauts in The Ambassadors Of Death at the same time Apollo 13 was in severe trouble when I was 5 and being amazed that the same thing that was shown on a Sci fi programme was actually happening in reality. 😊
@@julieeverett7442 Better late than never! I never thought that I would ever get to see the 1960s stories and was delighted when the BBC stared releasing them on VHS. Jon Pertwee's Whomobile was parked on my street one day when I came home from school in 1975. I was delirious with excitement, as I'm sure you can imagine!
I loved the part in Heaven Sent when 12 is in his mind storeroom thinking how to survive the fall from the castle window. When he says "Can't wait to hear what I say next, I'm nothing without an audience" before giving a subtle look directly into the camera.
What avout the scen in series 2 where 10 is captured by torch wood and he says: "Oh, Please. When Torchwood depicts and archives my entire life history, please don't tell them I travel wuth her mother... I've got a reputation to uphold!" May not be th e exact quote, vut close enough I just find this funny and another little nod to the viewers
I think love and monsters could have been instantly better if the Shade that killed Elton's mother came back, wanted to kill Elton to finish it's job/hunt and in turn kills LINDA since they are in the way and have involved themselves with Elton's life. The Doctor arriving at the end in a similar fashion would then save Elton, explain this to him and apologise to Elton for being involved in his life and in turn reveal what happened to his Mother and why it came after him, highlighting the theme of danger for anyone who becomes involved with the Doctor. Maybe Elton at the end then gives up his obsession with the Doctor by learning this and in turn gets closure to this part of his life.
Russel had to include the Absorbaloff due to it being in a Blue Peter competition and the prize was that it would feature in an episode. He could’ve put the absorbaloff in another episode though
Haven’t checked the whole comment section so don’t know if any one else has mentioned that L.I.N.D.A is actually mentioned by the Fifth Doctor in Time Crash.
@@CaptainNavman As am I. Never liked her; still don't. She cannot act through a paper bag! I loved River and the other females on the show. This current female doctor just SUCKS!!!

@@julieeverett7442 He sends them a message asking for help resolving the situation but then tries to escape in the TARDIS unsuccessfully , so you are both right
In Star Trek: Voyager, there was an episode where Voyager was in orbit of modern day Earth. Nelix was monitoring broadcast TV. I was have had a seen of him watching the opening to Star Trek: Voyager. Or maybe TOS.
I pulled an all nighter of Doctor Who and when I went to the bathroom I SWEAR I heard the TARDIS materialising in my backyard. I ran downstairs and was very disappointed to find that I was wrong and the TARDIS was disappearing instead. 😭
Some guest character (like Van Sratten) should spend the entire episode calling that particular main character "The" because said guest character thinks that's their first name.
How about in the impossible planet. Rose says to the doctor : “Oh if you think there’s gonna be trouble, we could always go back inside, and go somewhere else. To which both her and the doctor look directly at the audience and start laughing hysterically. This was because many times the writers were asked why the doctor and the companions don’t just leave.
Power Of Kroll , the resolution to the episode 1 cliffhanger - the Doctor unmasks the "monster" threatening Romana as a Swamy in disguise and tells Romana that it didn't look as convincing from behind.
3:08 And the second best entrance into the TARDIS Is Billy.... - ua-cam.com/video/9RJuXVSGDEU/v-deo.html I mean that Matt Lucas line at the end is absolutely brilliant...

The mind is also bigger on the inside.

“I will not forget one line of this”
One line? Like on a script? To me this sounded more like Matt Smith talking than the Doctor. This applies to the whole scene before he regenerated but that line in particular stuck out to me. I love it.
"I'll always remember when The Doctor was me."
Yes, that line also had the same vibe to it
He said one day not one line
I’m fairly sure he said both
Yeah I just checked the scene, he says “I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me.”
