Doctor Who

Doctor Who is a British si-fi TV show that broadcasts on BBC One. Although not having a huge connection with the Clangers, there has been nods to both on both shows and have joined forces for merchandise.

Doctor Who
In the serial, The Sea Devils, the Doctor's age old enemy, the Master is in prison. While there, he watches an episode of the Clangers called "The Rock Collector". The Master thinks that the Clangers are aliens which are being observed by the humans. He's disappointed when he finds out that it's a TV show for kids.

Clangers
In the 5th series of the Clangers, celebrating 50 years of the moon landing, there was an episode called "The Visitor" (2). A human based on a scientist in real life, visits the Clanger's planet. One of the gifts the clangers give her is a scarf like the fourth Doctor's.

Doppel-Clanger
