The Fourth Doctor sells New Zealand investments (1996)

In his autobiography, Tom Baker writes, "'Would you like to go to New Zealand to do a commercial?' That's the sort of question an actor likes to hear from his agent in freezing mid-January."

He points out how the audience does not "need a sonic screwdriver or a Gallifreyan time capsule" to figure out that New Zealand Superannuation Services are a reasonable way to make their future dreams realities.

The workman asks "Who are you?", to which Gary replies "I'm Doctor Who Are You Lookin' At?" He then headbutts the workman, and begins to rant "Come on then, where's all these friggin' Daleks, eh?

In "The Pitch of Fear", Walliams appears as Sydney Newman and Gatiss as fictional BBC executive "Mr Borusa" in a spoof about the early history of Doctor Who, which also features Little Britain's Paul Putner.

Paul Putner is an English comedian and actor. ...

"The Web of Caves", which is in black and white, sees Walliams and Putner as aliens (somewhat similar in appearance to Movellans) trying to persuade the Doctor (Gatiss) to defeat their schemes. The Walliams alien appears alone at first and outlines his scheme to hollow out the core of the Earth and replace it with a motor (The Dalek Invasion of Earth) the Doctor dismisses this plan, in a rather bored fashion, as having been done and the alien suggests he will come back the next day with a new plan. The next day he returns, accompanied by the Putner alien, and proposes to drain the world's oceans into its core thus boiling them away (The Underwater Menace) again the Doctor points out that it has been done but decides he has to stop them. The two aliens and the Doctor agree a time for their battle and the Doctor leaves in the TARDIS, only to have it rematerialise in the same spot leaving the Doctor visibly annoyed.

Dead Ringers (2000–)

One of the most prolific sources of Doctor Who-related parody in recent years has been the radio and television programme Dead Ringers. This is primarily due to comedian and impressionist Jon Culshaw and writer Nev Fountain, both of whom are Doctor Who fans. Culshaw often impersonates Tom Baker in character as the Fourth Doctor. In the radio programme, Culshaw often made live phone calls as the Doctor to everyday locations such as a hotel or DIY store, or to Doctor Who celebrities, and taped the unscripted responses. Dead Ringers is a UK radio and television comedy impressions show broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Two. ... Jonathan Peter Culshaw (born 2 June 1968 in Ormskirk, Lancashire) is a British impressionist and comedian. ... Nev Fountain, born Steven John Fountain, is an English writer, best known for his comedy work with writing partner Tom Jamieson on the radio and television programme Dead Ringers. ... For other persons named Tom Baker, see Tom Baker (disambiguation). ... The Fourth Doctor is the name given to the fourth incarnation of the fictional character known as the Doctor seen on screen in the long-running BBC television science-fiction series Doctor Who. ...

Culshaw's "Doctor" has telephoned four of the "real" Doctors — Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy. This prompted the bemused (and apparently confused) McCoy to ask the classic question: "Have you been in the pub?" When Culshaw phoned Tom Baker himself and stated that he "was the Doctor", Baker replied, "But there must be some mistake...I'm the Doctor..." Baker had previously worked with Culshaw and was aware of his impression but not when the call would come, if at all, so his reaction was genuine. On the other hand, McCoy has said that his reaction was faked, as he had been warned immediately before the call took place. Peter Davison (born Peter Moffett 13 April 1951) is an English actor, best known for his roles as Tristan Farnon in the television version of James Herriots All Creatures Great and Small and as the fifth incarnation of the Doctor in Doctor Who, which he played from 1981 to... For the Wales international football player see Colin Baker (Welsh footballer) Colin Baker (born London, June 8, 1943) is an English actor who is best known for playing the sixth incarnation of the Doctor in the long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who, from 1984 to 1986. ... Sylvester McCoy (born Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith August 20, 1943) is a Scottish actor. ...

Culshaw's impression of the Fourth Doctor is now one of Dead Ringers' most recognisable trademarks, with the title credits (for the radio series and the TV series) now with the words "Dead Ringers" spoken by Culshaw in the recognisable voice.

When the programme moved to television, a now-visible Culshaw (in costume) was placed into mundane situations, such as the Fourth Doctor visiting a tanning salon and travelling on the Eurostar. At one point on his journey to France, Culshaw's "Doctor" stated to bemused passengers, "I am the Doctor. I travel in space and time.... and trains."

Though the Fourth Doctor was overwhelmingly the Doctor most imitated in the programme from 2000–2004, other Doctors also received treatment by the cast. With the coming of the 2005 series of Doctor Who, Dead Ringers added the most recent incarnations of the Doctor to its repertoire (for example, suggesting that Christopher Eccleston's real reason for leaving the programme was because his parents are hardcore Star Trek fans, which is possibly a parody of Star Trek fandom). The 2005 series trailer also parodied the "Do You Want To Come With Me?" trailers used to advertise the series; Eccleston's dialogue being spoken by impersonators of Tony Blair, Michael Howard and Charles Kennedy (due to BBC impartiality in the run-up to the 2005 General Election, all three political parties were represented).

In the 2005 Dead Ringers Christmas special, broadcast shortly before "The Christmas Invasion", Culshaw impersonated both the Fourth and Tenth Doctors, while the Second, Seventh and Ninth Doctors were impersonated by Mark Perry, Kevin Connelly and Phil Cornwell, respectively. The sketch also made reference to Christopher Eccleston's departure from the programme and displayed some antagonism between the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, with the Eccelston doctor referring to himself as having depth and grit, then the 10th as "Jarvis Cocker in space".

In Dead Ringers' 2006 series, Culshaw's Tenth Doctor was joined by Rose Tyler (portrayed by Jan Ravens) in two sketches. In one, the pair complained about the increasingly loud and intrusive music in the programme, and the Doctor was forced to use his sonic screwdriver to "turn on the subtitles, like everyone at home is doing." In another, the Doctor remarked how easy his job had become since he could learn all about his adventures beforehand from the Radio Times, Doctor Who Confidential, Totally Doctor Who and the TARDISODEs; since everything was revealed ahead of time, the Doctor said he could "phone the rest of the show in" and watch the World Cup (imminent at the time of the sketch's broadcast).

In addition to parodying Doctor Who, Dead Ringers has also parodied Torchwood. The sketches comment Torchwood's high level of sex, and low levels of characterisation (denoting Owen, Ianto, Jack and Gwen by the traits of "annoying", "dull and annoying", "camp and annoying" and "Welsh" respectively).^[5] The final episode of the seventh series also featured two spoofs of Torchwood, one of which featured Jack Harkness in a threesome with three Cybermen in a hotel. The other was "Driftwood" (a cut scene would have explained that it filled the one demographic not touched by Doctor Who, having a family show, a children's show, and an adult's show). June Whitfield talks to the camera about the worry about leaving behind families in danger from monsters of other worlds. She says that Driftwood can help, and a team comprising four OAPs, including Victor Meldrew and Albert Steptoe (with the latter having a mysterious event in his past - an event called UK Gold - "that means I can never die").

In another sketch Tony Blair (Culshaw) is seen giving an interview. He then stands-up and collapses. A regeneration-like special effect is added, and Culshaw's Blair is replaced by David Tennant, who was playing the Tenth Doctor at the time. David Tennant stands up, licks and sucks his teeth and says "Hmmm, New Labour, that's weird", a parody of one of David Tennant's first lines as the Doctor "Hmmm, new teeth, that's weird", and Tony Blair's rebranding of the Labour party, calling it "New Labour". David Tennant proceeds to make a speech in Tony Blair's early style.

Kit Kat advertisement (2001)

A 2001 advertising campaign for Kit Kat chocolates showed British celebrities doing things which were contrary to their popular images (for example, football player Roy Keane doing needlepoint, and Motörhead lead singer Lemmy playing the violin). One of the first shots in the advertisement is of Daleks chasing people on the street saying, in the standard Dalek tones, "Give us a cuddle!" while the final shot had Daleks following a group of Hare Krishna devotees, chanting "Peace and love!" The advertisement concluded with the Kit Kat slogan "Have a break, have a Kit Kat," implying that the Daleks were having a break from their habitual killing.

The Daleks' use in this advert was brought to an end by the estate of Terry Nation, who had not been aware of the usage.

Do You Have a Licence to Save this Planet? (2001)

This BBV production starred Sylvester McCoy as the Foot Doctor doing battle against the Krynoids, Sontarans, and Autons. It also parodied elements of the Seventh Doctor's tenure, including his incarnation's penchant for spoon-playing and his regeneration scene in Time and the Rani. The title was a reference to how BBV had never obtained a license from the BBC to produce official Doctor Who tie-in material and therefore had to create works that only narrowly avoided infringing the BBC's intellectual property rights. BBV is a video and audio production company specialising in science fiction drama, known for its links with the British science fiction television series Doctor Who (founder Bill Baggs is a fan, and BBV productions often feature characters and/or actors from the series). ...

Chewin' the Fat (2005)

In a sketch from the 2005 Hogmanay edition of the BBC Scotland comedy series Chewin' the Fat, the character Ronald Villiers ("the world's worst actor") acts as an army soldier sent into a metal building to take on the Daleks. Villiers, however, keeps on messing up his lines and throwing in various ad-libs relating to Doctor Who. After repeatedly failing to understand that the production crew are going to superimpose a Dalek onto the scene in the post-production stage, Villiers is thrown off set, but not before telling them that "All the Doctor Whos after Sylvester McCoy were rubbish anyway".

The Charlotte Church Show (2006)

The second episode of The Charlotte Church Show (broadcast on 8 September 2006) included a sketch in which Church played the Doctor's new companion. In the sketch, Church complained about travelling to Cardiff by TARDIS ("I can take the bloody bus!"). The sketch also noted the series' tendency to have "relationship-y episodes where somebody's gran's dying, that they use to pad out the middle of the series when they run out of money for special effects", referring to "that psychic girl with the crayons" as a "rubbish" example. The sketch also showed the Doctor examining a scantily clad female mannequin, claiming he thought it was an Auton. At the end of the sketch, the Doctor regenerated into Todd Carty.

Tennant also appeared in a sketch alongside comedienne Catherine Tate, who plays companion Donna Noble (though at the time she had only appeared as an apparent one off character in "The Runaway Bride"), for Comic Relief on March 16 (Red Nose Day) 2007. In the sketch Tate played her character Lauren Cooper from The Catherine Tate Show and Tennant played her new English Teacher, Mr. Logan, who after being goaded by Lauren for his Scottish accent and resemblance to the Doctor is finally pushed over the edge when she insults Shakespeare. He threatens to fail her, and Lauren proceeds to do her "Am I bovvered?" routine in Shakespearean style followed by a recitation of Sonnet 130 off the top of her head only to have Mr. Logan produce the sonic screwdriver from inside his jacket and turn her into a 5" Rose Tyler action figure with it, misquoting Romeo and Juliet by saying "A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet".

Family Guy (2007)

In "Blue Harvest", the Star Wars themed season premiere of the sixth season of Family Guy, Peter Griffin (as Han Solo) comments that "Hyperspace always looks so freaky."

Gina's Laughing Gear (2007)

In this children's spoof show on CBBC, three sketches spoofing Doctor Who are shown. The first begins with the Doctor and Rose stepping out of the TARDIS into a darkened room. The Doctor, using his sonic screwdriver as a torch, reveals several aliens, who are all blasted by Rose's ray gun. The Doctor then turns on the light and sees that they have materialised at a child dress up party. The child then comes in. The Doctor and Rose wish him a happy birthday. He calls them to get a doctor. "funny you should say that" says the Doctor. In the second sketch, the shortest of the three, we hear the TARDIS materialise and the Doctor inquiring where they are. Then we hear a scream, as a woman runs out of a building. The Doctor apologises, just as the camera focuses on a sign for ladies toilets. The third and final sketch starts with the Doctor stepping out of the TARDIS into Tim Westwood's (Pimp My Ride UK) garage. The Doctor asks if he is a Cyberman. Tim corrects him and says he is a DJ-man. The Doctor then recognises this "alien that plays hip-hop music on the radio". Tim calls it old and a "turdis" and then says to the Doctor that he is going to "pimp his TARDIS". There are then several shots of mechanics attaching things to the TARDIS that are typical to Pimp My Ride, e.g. a customised number plate: T4RD15 and a disco ball where the normal light would be on top of the TARDIS. The Doctor doesn't mind as these are only cosmetic changes. But Tim has messed up the suspension, and the Doctor dematerialises from the garage with the TARDIS jumping to different places in the garage. This article is about the television show. ...

However, after not working for five months (and telling his new agent, "I've told you a thousand times, I'm not going to play an alien in Doctor Who), we see Andy opposite the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant), playing a slug-like alien named Schlong (in an unconvincing, rubbery costume, with Andy's face fully visible). In the scene, "Schlong" attacks the Doctor and the young woman with something the Doctor first describes in technobabble as "hyperpodulating — he's using his molluscian gline valves to internally vibrillate our DNA!" and then explains that "we'll both turn into slugs in about thirty seconds unless I can reach that sodium chloride!"
