OK, I admit it. I'm a total sucker for pop culture references in TV shows. Well references that I get anyway. I've mentioned The Middleman a couple of times before and since its first season is coming to an end, perhaps its time for example of why it hits that particular button for me.

So in the most recent episode there was:
A NASA Tech called Mr Lethbridge-Stewart
A Zygon rated quarantine facility
The Peri Perpugilliam treaty
The line "did your boss just call you on your watch about a pan-galactic gargle blaster?"

These are just examples and I probably missed many more than I caught. Not that I expect you to necessarily catch these. Last week it was Die Hard references.

Of all the DW stuff, the Tardis (along with Daleks) are really well ingrained in the public consciousness. You gotta love it.
