The Eleventh Doctor recalled that when he was eight years old, a thousand years prior, he loved "classic" bedtime stories such as The Three Little Sontarans, The Emperor Dalek's New Clothes and Snow White and the Seven Keys to Doomsday. (TV: Night Terrors)
The Fourteenth Doctor once arrived on Planet Bedtime Stories to tell the bedtime story The Way Back Home. After he concluded, he began to tell another about "someone who went to space and started to help people", involving a blue box that landed in a junkyard, but cut himself off when he realised he didn't have enough time to tell it, but promised to save it for another bedtime story.
