It's not really a reference as such. More of a coincidence (or perhaps not LOL)..but in Series 8 of Red Dwarf there is an episode called "Cassandra" and it is about the Dwarfies going down to an abandoned ship and meeting up with this ship's hologramtic on board computer called Cassandra. The similaries are so that almost thought that she was played by the same actress, Zoe Wanamaker, who played (or at least voiced) "Cassandra" in Doctor Who. They sound so alike and they have the same name. But it's Geradine McEwan in Red Dwarf. This episode was also filmed before Dr Who too (1999). But more a coicindence really. The characterisation is so similar.

On www.yourtv.com just now, I saw a link to a slideshow of "TV's Hottest Geeks". Getting a feeling in me waters, I clicked it, and sure enough:

Don't know if you've seen this around, but I was at the Canberra Labor Club for dinner tonight and on the bar was a glass tibe, lit from within with a flow of bubbles - and a hand holding a bottle of Toohey's Extra Dry.

The image of it that I can find online doesn't have the hand is a container not much bigger than itself, but here's what I found:

I was on www.yourtv.com again, but this time I was completely surprised when I found this in the slideshow of "Spin-off hits and misses":

I'd also dispute "colourful language". There were definitely instances of swearing in the old series...

...just not in English. Cool

Switching over to The Closer last night, my brother and I were both pretty sure we heard mention of a Gwen Cooper.

*SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR XMAS SPECIAL* In the Spicks and Specks Christmas special A Very Specky Christmas last night, host Adam Hills said the show was being broadcast "live from 19th century England". Could this be a nod to this year's Doctor Who Christmas special? Probably not. But I immediately thought of it.
