This article contains spoilers for Doctor Who season 15, episode 2, “Lux.”
In the latest episode titled “Lux,” several nods to previous Doctor Who adventures are hidden within the fan scene. The fifteenth season, episode 2 of Doctor Who cleverly shattered the boundary between the show and its viewers by depicting the Fifteenth Doctor and Belinda Chandra interacting with three enthusiastic fans of the series.
Fans of Doctor Who’s season 15 will find a significant and innovative moment in the show, packed with numerous winks and nods to the Doctor’s past adventures. From the Weeping Angels to the Daleks, be on the lookout for these fascinating hints hidden within the backdrop of shots from the “Lux” scene – it’s well worth a close watch!
13. Lizzie’s “Don’t Blink” Mug
Referencing Season 3’s Weeping Angels Episode “Blink”
Among the three mugs in the “Fan” scene, one is a nod to the popular “Blink” episode written by Steven Moffat for Doctor Who. In the closing credits of “Lux,” Lizzie’s mug becomes more visible, and the words “Don’t Blink, Lizzie” are noticeable on its exterior.
Indeed, Lizzie, Hassan, and Robyn all agree that the Weeping Angels’ introduction is their preferred “Doctor Who” adventure, much to the Fifteenth Doctor’s chagrin. Given how beloved the “Doctor Who” episode “Blink” is in reality, this sentiment seems perfectly reasonable.
12. Lizzie’s Telos Cybermen T-Shirt
Referencing The Famous Cybermen Design From The Classic Doctor Who Era
Lizzie also sports a T-shirt displaying an image of a Telos Cyberman, a character initially introduced in the classic “Doctor Who” tale “The Moonbase”. Unlike other versions, these iconic antagonists appeared less on screen, but it’s wonderful to notice their admiration. The Telos Cybermen resemble the Mondas Cybermen, who recently made an appearance in the season 10 finale’s two episodes; however, they represent the second version of the Cybermen.
11. Hassan’s UNIT Sweatshirt
Referencing Doctor Who’s Notable Intelligence Organization & The Doctor’s (Sometimes) Former Employer
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but appreciate how Doctor Who’s UNIT unit frequently reinvents itself in terms of looks, demeanor, and mission. Yet, Hassan’s hoodie subtly harks back to the classic era of Doctor Who. The original UNIT emblem, debuting in the 1968 series “The Invasion,” is proudly displayed on his chest, though occasionally concealed by his long scarf. Some members of the latest UNIT team might not recognize this emblem, but Kate Stewart surely will, given her father’s significant role within the organization during that period.
10. Hassan’s Fourth Doctor Scarf
Referencing The Eye-Catching Appearance Of Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor
The most noticeable homage to “Doctor Who” in the fan community is Hassan wearing the distinctive scarf of the Fourth Doctor. Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor during the classic era of “Doctor Who”, is well-known for this character, but without his iconic long scarf, he wouldn’t truly be the Doctor. Among the many memorable outfits donned by the Doctor, such as Eleven’s tweed jacket or Five’s unusual celery stick, nothing compares to Four’s striped scarf.
9. Hassan’s K9 Mug
Referencing Doctor Who’s Favorite Robot Dog
During a cozy tea time with the Doctor, Belinda, and an unexpected guest – K9, who appeared on Hassan’s mug. But this wasn’t just any ordinary image of the Doctor’s robotic dog companion. In the mid-credits scene of season 15, episode 2 of ‘Doctor Who’, we see that the other side of Hassan’s mug reads “Affirmative, Hassan.” I truly miss K9, yet it’s comforting to know that his story continues with Sarah Jane Smith’s son, Luke. The cherished dog is still adored by fans of ‘Doctor Who’, both fictional and real.
8. Robyn’s Dalek Mug
Referencing Doctor Who’s Biggest Villains
Robyn’s mug contains a tribute to “Doctor Who”. The words “Robyn will stay hydrated!” are written on it, accompanied by a sketch of a Dalek, a character from the show. It’s not quite clear which style of Dalek from “Doctor Who” is depicted on the mug, but it appears to be one of the common bronze-colored Daleks from the series’ more recent period. Moreover, there are additional hints towards the Daleks in the scene for season 15 fans.
7. The Dalek Caan Figurine
Referencing The Last Survivor Of The Cult Of Skaro
On the shelves behind the fans are various Doctor Who merchandise items, though many of them are blurry and hard to distinguish. However, one thing that stands out is a figurine of a shattered Dalek, which upon closer inspection seems to be Dalek Caan, the last member of the Cult of Skaro. After an encounter with the Tenth Doctor in season 3, Caan managed to flee using an Emergency Temporal Shift and later crossed paths with the Time Lord again in “Journey’s End.” Unfortunately, his escape left him with extensive damage to his casing.
6. Robyn’s Beep The Meep T-Shirt
Referencing The Meep From The 60th Anniversary Special “The Star Beast”
Robyn is sporting a T-shirt featuring “Doctor Who,” specifically referencing the adorable monster, the Meep, from one of the special episodes celebrating the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who. The Meep, known for causing mischief in “The Star Beast,” is an interesting addition to the rich history of Doctor Who, making it exciting to see a tribute to a more contemporary storyline as well. Given the popularity of the Meep due to its appealing design, it’s no wonder fans have merchandise related to them.
5. The Third Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver
Referencing One Of The Classic Era’s Iconic & Trusty Tools
In the fan sequence, Robyn is additionally wielding the First Version of the Third Doctor’s versatile Sonic Tool, a device that originated as a simple screwdriver in “Doctor Who” but eventually became one of the Time Lord’s iconic items. The Sonic Tool carried by the Third Doctor represented an early expansion of the gadget’s functions beyond its initial purpose.
4. The Finetime Poster
Referencing The World In Season 14’s “Dot And Bubble”
Standing amidst us fans, there’s a captivating backdrop adorned with a Finetime poster and the image of the Mantrap from season 14’s “Doctor Who” episode titled “Dot and Bubble.” The Mantrap, a colossal slug-like entity born from advanced technology by the Homeworld, has the chilling ability to annihilate entire populations. While it’s fortunate that this fearsome creature is merely a figment of imagination in our fan gathering, it’s intriguing to ponder why Lizzie, Hassan, and Robyn have chosen this poster, given the ominous undertones of “Dot and Bubble.
3. The Fez
Referencing The Eleventh Doctor’s Legendary Headwear From Season 5’s “The Big Bang”
As a die-hard Doctor Who fan, I couldn’t help but notice the immediate reference to my beloved series. The moment I laid eyes on Lizzie, her head adorned with a striking red fez, I knew it was a clever wink to the Eleventh Doctor’s eccentricities. After all, who could forget his infatuation with the fez, most notably demonstrated in the Season 5 episode “The Big Bang,” where he both fell for one and lost it rather quickly?
2. The Weeping Angels Cushion
Referencing The Petrifying Stone Monsters From The Modern Era
Apart from Lizzie’s mug and the conversation about “Blink,” there’s another subtle nod to the Weeping Angels in the scene where Lizzie and Hassan are seated together. Keen-eyed viewers might catch a glimpse of Weeping Angel wings on a pillow, hidden behind a startled Lizzie. It makes me ponder if fans realize that this specific cushion transforms into an angel when bought due to its image of an angel.
1. The Fifteenth Doctor Poster
Referencing Doctor Who Season 14’s Promotional Materials
A fleeting glimpse of a promotional artwork featuring the Fourteenth Season’s Doctor Who character, played by Ncuti Gatwa, is displayed on fans’ walls, yet it’s easily overlooked due to its brief appearance and incomplete exposure. However, enthusiasts well-versed in season 14’s promotional content will swiftly identify the poster’s vibrant hues and a glimpse of the top of Gatwa’s head just behind the Doctor’s shoulder, following their embrace with Lizzie. Regrettably, during this scene, the Doctor does not interact with the image of his present form gazing back at him.
