![]() ![]() As such, these references were not only smarter than they first seemed, but also served to anchor the new Doctor to two previous regenerations. It's possible that I'm missing some but they're the ones I've confirmed myself. Kerblam (Series 11, episode 7) - Space Amazon sends the Doctor a fez she probably ordered back in his/her 11th incarnation. This started a love story between the Doctor and the fez. The Impossible Astronaut (Season 6, episode 1) - The Doctor wears a fez in his Laurel and Hardy appearance. In the Season 5 episode 'The Big Bang,' Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor took a fez from a museum exhibit and wore it as he proceeded to save the universe itself. While Jodie Whittaker's debut season has been met with a mostly positive reaction, it has also represented a fairly significant departure for the series and there hasn't been too much to directly connect the Thirteenth Doctor to her past (other than the use of Venusian Aikido). But it was the Eleventh Doctor who truly made the fez a wardrobe item synonymous with the Doctor. ![]() However, these two instances arguably came at just the right time. Nothing excites fans quite like subtly referencing a previous episode and, given its lengthy history, Doctor Who does this better than most.

Doctor in trouble: Matt Smith left hanging as the TARDIS is hoisted up next to Nelsons Column. He was particularly drawn to mystery-solving as well as a Friend to All Children who loved joining in on their fun. The Eleventh Doctor could often be seen as either raging and furious, apathetic, in mourning, running around wildly, or eating some Jammie Dodgers. This classic adventure saw a workforce of robots originally designed to assist their human counterparts get reprogrammed and begin a killing spree of anything organic.Ĭlearly, there are a number of parallels between "Kerblam!" and "The Robots of Death" and while the Agatha Christie connection may have been a complete coincidence, it's certainly a very apt connection to make given the similar themes covered in these two stories. The outlandish hipster crossed with a fairy tale wizard who sorts out problems with a wave of his Magic Wand. However, Agatha Christie actually has a deeper connection to the Doctor's history with deadly robots as her work inspired the Fourth Doctor story, "The Robots of Death".
