There are a few Dr.Who references in that show actually. For instance, Daleks everywhere. The creators were huge fans and based tommy on what they thought a younger the Doctor might be like.
THIS HAS BEEN TRUFAX WITH REX.
I REMEMBER THE DALEKS BUT I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS SOMETHING DONE ON PURPOSE.
ALSO HOLY SHIT TOMMY IS SUPPOSED TO BE A YOUNG DOCTOR? THIS IS… WHOA.
WHOA, MAN.
My mind. It has been blown.
HE EVEN HAS A BOW TIE
HOLY SHIT
TOMMY IS A YOUNG TIME LORD.
EVERY ARGUMENT YOU HAVE EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF FOREVER HAS JUST BEEN RENDERED INVALID.
OH MY GOD, I REMEMBER THE DALEKS!
THIS TOTALLY MAKES SENSE
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING.
HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.
THE WORLD MUST KNOW.
