Game of Thrones

Portraits of Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)

Game of Thrones (COMIC: The Dragon Lord) (also known as Thrones for short) was a television series based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. Shona McCullough planned to marathon the show as part of her Christmas Day itinerary. (TV: Last Christmas)

When Lord Mortigan mentioned how the humans had to genetically modify the local life forms on a planet to make them more like dragons, Clara Oswald retorted that this was so they could play Game of Thrones. (COMIC: The Dragon Lord)

The Twelfth Doctor had portraits of Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow at the doorway of his office at St Luke's University. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)

Upon arriving at the Battle of Hastings, Donna Noble compared the battle to Game of Thrones and asked the Fourteenth Doctor to scream if he found Jon Snow. The Doctor, however, stated there were no Starks or Targaryens around. (COMIC: Untitled)

Behind the scenes

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen were not explicitly named in The Lost Dimension.

Its network of origin was HBO, owners of HBO Max.

Cast connections

Many Doctor Who universe actors appeared in Game of Thrones. This was remarked upon in a sketch in Episode 5 of The Fan Show, The Magician's Apprentice: What We Know So Far, which even spun a short parodical skit out of this fact by having fictional reporters Pete Lannister and Gendry Temple-Noble cover these shared cast members as though they were "player transfers" between professional sports teams.
