In the video game Lego Dimensions, the Doctor directly interacts with Gandalf, and even accidentally causes him to switch from grey to white and back again.

This show has more celebrity paradoxes than time paradoxes.

the way i cracked up when “robin hood is played by patrick troughton” came on the credits .. what a brilliant video

twelve's line about Alien is gold it gets me everytime

Glad you left the best until last. Writer Ben Aaronovitch knew exactly what he was doing. Dropping such a blatant meta reference in the middle of an already tightly plotted story, almost casually, is simply genius.

This is simply what happens when you hire every british actor ever while making every pop culture reference ever

the Billie Piper album in the background of Something Borrowed had me CACKLING

Shows how small the BBC's cast catalogue is 😅

along with the star wars references, Peter Cushing played both Tarkin and the Doctor.. he's also played Van Helsing alongside Christopher Lee as Dracula, who obviously is also Saruman in LOTR and the Hobbit, alongside Ian McKellen and Sylvester McCoy.

Really wish they were able to add the Cushing Films references in the 50th anniversary. That way both Wilf and the actor who played him exist in the same universe.

Doctor Who definitely exists in its own universe, they even confirmed it in Remembrance of the Daleks

There was also John Hurt in the TV show Merlin! As the dragon, Kilgarrah 😂

There's a horror movie called alien that's really offensive no wonder they keep trying to invade you. 🤣🤣🤣 Best Capaldi line ever

The _Doctor Who_ audio story _The Gathering_ also references Billie Piper - it takes place on her birthday, which is noted by a radio host who’s cut away from before she can finish her name.

That was a fantastic video! One of my personal favourites that wasn't here was when Owen comments at the s1 torchwood finale that having the bubonic plague in the 21st century was "a bit House" referencing the TV show house md. In house md, Taub mentions that he likes to watch classic who.

Blimey you've put tonnes of thought and work into creating this! It's fabulous 😊

I love how eastenders was referenced in the same episode as Tracey anne oberman appears

This is so weird. The doctor, his companions and foes are all also other people in the universe too. Must be one hell of a morphic field

Fun fact; off set and as a video Easter egg; Tom Baker and John Cleese did a short sketch where Cleese asks Tom Baker to sign a photo of himself as Doctor Who for Cleese's blind godson, when Baker asks for a pen, Cleese comes up empty and just says he'll tell his godson he signed it Also, Cleese is attributed under a false pseudonym, being Kim Bread

Every time I watch that Robin Hood episode in Series 8, I always think that the BBC wasted an opportunity by bringing back the cast of Robin Hood's BBC Series to reprise their characters. I mean Harry Lloyd who played Will Scarlett went onto Game Of Thrones (Strangely enough he also played Baines in the Family Of Blood episodes in Series 3) but surely Jonas Armstrong and Lucy Griffiths weren't up to much.

Bloody hell, the show itself exists in the show...

I'm pretty sure the actors in actual film or tv projects are there because there is a earth version of those actors and the doctor just accidentally turns into that person with the one time he actually knew who he was turning into being Peter Capaldi's from his time in Rome

Richard Franklin and Tosin Cole were both in Star Wars as well, Franklin as an engineer in Rogue One and Cole as a pilot in VII - there's also Garrick Hagon (Biggs) who was in both The Mutants and A Town Called Mercy

I suppose just before Paul McGann regenerated he watched alien and saw John hurt

Fun fact: Spider-Man fought the Transformers, who fought Death’s Head, who fought the 7th Doctor. And I’m pretty sure that Spider-Man fought Godzilla at some point. He definitely met Batman. So yeah, they all exist in the same universe/multiverse.

This is fantastic! Very well done! (Patrick Troughton played Robin Hood!!!!)

Surprised you didn't show the entirety of Dimensions in Time. The one where they were literally in Eastenders.

I love that Ten-nant was actually in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Thanks, my brain now hurts :D

So what I've learned is: Uhm... Uh... Gah... Oh, that's right: It's not just spaceballs anymore!

1:23 Twelfth Doctor would love Marvel Ruins if he wants gruesomely real Spiderman.

In season 3 of Doom Patrol, Michelle Gomez plays a time traveler and somebody calls her Doctor Who. On top of that, her character, Madame Rouge, has a lot of similarities to Missy. Spoilers below: She’s close friends with one of the heroes but still tries to kill them, bounces back and forth between being good and evil, works alongside some of their greatest villains and then betrays them, can change what she looks like, is much older than she appears possibly immortal.

Love this kind of stuff, didn't know about at least half of these. :)

NOT THE BUBBLEWRAP

So good, i really love the way you edit the all stuff. Really good work mate !

In Doctor Who S7E11, "The Crimson Horror," Dame Diana Rigg plays the antagonist Mrs. Gillyflower. In Game of Thrones S3E10, the character Gilly introduces herself to Maester Aemon Targaryen, who remarks, "Ah, like the gilliflower?" Diana Rigg stars in Game of Thrones as Olenna Tyrell. This probably doesn't count as a meta joke but it had me rolling on the floor when I put it together.

fun fact, if we consider the books canon the gungans exist in the universe of doctor who!

Loved this video- the editing was spot on!

I guess the doctor is just only regenerating into doppelgangers of English actors.

this is so well done what the hell

1st person to hit Den Watts in EastEnders played Lady Christina de Souza in Planet of the Dead

Speaking of Potterverse, Ron Weasly and Rory Williams apparently are half brothers! Same actor for a dad.

I think it's funny the 12th Doctor just forgets the movie Aliens after 10 referenced it.

You could also have connected the fact that the woman who played Yvonne Hartman (Tracy-Ann Oberman) is in Friday Night Dinner as Val along side Jackie played by Tamsin Greig who was in 'The Long Game' she was the nurse who put the chip in Adam's head. You can then connect Tamsin to Missy (Michelle Gomez) as they were both in Green Wing. You can also connect Tamsin to Bill Bailey who played Manny along side Greig's Fran in Black Books and Bill played Droxil in The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe. You can also connect Greig and Bailey to Simon Pegg who was the controller in The Long Game as Greig was in Shaun of the Dead, alongside Pegg and Bailey was in Hot Fuzz. You can then even further connect Greig and Pegg to Jessica Hynes who was the leader of Greig's group in Shaun of the Dead and opposite Pegg. Hynes and Pegg also starred together in Spaced. Hynes played both Nurse Joan Redfern in Doctor Who and later her grandaughter Verity Newman which was a nod to both Verity Lambert and Sydney Newman who were the brainchilds behind getting Doctor Who going. Hynes was also in a show with David Tennant called There She Goes. I could go on, but I shant 😂

It's all wibbly-wobbly actory-wactory.

The BBC. 6 actors, 4 coats.

Julian Glover also appeared as Richard the lionheart during the Hartnell era.

3:23 “I love humans. always seeing patterns in things that aren’t there” YA DONT SAY kdjdskdsk

I rember the last one but then again the first doctor once looked to the camera and said merry Christmas to all you back home.

XD I burst out laughing at the Monty Python part

8:13 is outstanding.

You missed the guy who plays lawrence scarman and the imperial dalek agent also getting force choked by vader

That is and I quote 9 here by saying , "FANTASTIC"

Some of this is just the same British actors being in everything.

You’re right, this is confusing 😅

4:18 HOLY SHIT THE GREAT INTELLIGENCE IS IAN MCKELLEN??

Great combination of clips 👏👏

5:06 almost gets even weirder when you realise that Matt Smith was nearly in The Rise of Skywalker

You could add to this a quote from Anthony Ainley (as The Master) stating "There is evil in us all, Doctor. Even you.", and then cut to clips of all the Doctors who have had villain roles before, during, or after being the Doctor. Scenes should at least include... Tom Baker as Prince Koura in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Colin Baker as Commander Maxil in The Arc of Infinity. David Tennant in not only Harry Potter (again), but also Jessica Jones and a movie called Bad Samaritan. (Good Omens optional, since he's technically good there.) Matt Smith as the avatar of Skynet in Terminator: Genisys. Oh, and missed opportunity regarding James Bond: Timothy Dalton as Rassilon.

You forgot the Spiderpig scene from the Simpsons Movie since Andrew Garfield was in the episodes with pigs in New York. But they didn't mention the Simpsons anyway, and that's just my reach.

The best bit of meta was the casting of Mark Williams opposite Arthur Darville. Mark went to North Bromsgrove High School (I was two years above him, if I met him, I don't remember) and Arthur went to Bromsgrove School, a private school. Later Sir Lenny Henry, from Dudley, just up the road, played a character from Bromsgrove. The only other time I've heard the town referenced in fiction was a one line mention in Monty Python ("a company director from Bromsgrove" in the "Blackmail" sketch)

Faction Paradox will always be my favorite mess of Doctor Who meta. Just a bunch of writers setting out to try to break the show in every way they can and giving us a delicious incomprehensible slurry.

But he said the little green one, should’ve included the clip of yoda flipping around

I guess this can all be explained by “spacial genetic multiplicity” as 10 put it in journey’s end.

This just proves that the BBC is just 8 people casting each other back and forth for eternity

i, nerd both of lotr and doctor who, choose to believe that the doctor was, in fact, at one point, radagast the brown

There are plenty of references to other franchises in the animated episode Dreamland.

doctor who ads in doctor who is terrifying

I can't handle this.

Well that's the BBCs centenary special of Doctor Who released early on the interwebz.

Great mix! This took a lot of time and dedication. Well done! 👍

This was an afternoon delight.

Wow. Great editing....mind blown.

Seven degrees of doctor who

4:30 i mean could of been Ash Williams

enjoyed that immensly

Mostly comprehensive. Well done

Most of these are because there’s only like three dozen actors on that island! 😂

Pitching how Eve Myles plays both Gwen in _Torchwood_ and her ancestor Gwyneth in “The Unquiet Dead,” and even has a brief role in _Merlin_ as the Lady Helen. Because there’s no such thing as *too* meta. _It’s all relative_ … in a *_meta_* way. 🌐

the scene in The Shakespeare Code where Martha talks about Harry Potter annoys me on a level it REALLY shouldn’t. they had the opportunity to mention Barty Crouch jr or at least the 4th book/film but chose to mention the 7th????

Also Michelle Ryan (Zoe Slater) was in plane of the dead as lady christina

wait wait wait so considering what happened with Rose Tyler going into a parallel world that means BEFORE she met the 9th Doctor she had a successful singing career but clearly fell off randomly around the time she joined the TARDIS otherwise she wouldn't be working in a shop....unless the shop was a side hustle

Britain has 8 actors, 4 writers and 2 directors 😂

I just watched City of DEATH!

Awesome edit

Would you count the Earl's Court Tardis mentioned in Bells of St John?

This has got to be the biggest brain video ever!

Just goes to show you there are only about 5 actors in the uk

Brilliant!

This is brilliant

This was very cool!!

Could’ve included dimensions in time for Eastenders

Just wonderful.

no way they actually did that last one

This was great

3:14 is amongus

7:52 PEPPA PIG?

What episode is the last one from?

Can't bear Fry, so I didn't get very far

"I have been authorized to speak on behalf of every security agency around the globe" I haven't watched the show in a couple years (pretty sure I stopped in the last Capaldi season). How the hell does this make sense in context? AFAIK every country's security agency is protecting against some other country, so I don't see how they could ever work together. I know the DW world is different from ours, I just need to know what change exactly caused this unforseen alliance.
