Behind the scenes

The show's first ever full episode, Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire, premiered in the United States on 17 December, 1989, just over a week after the "classic" run of Doctor Who concluded with the third part of Survival.

For one week in 1996, Doctor Who and The Simpsons shared the same network of origin in the United States, when the co-produced TV movie aired.

In the United Kingdom, the BBC held the terrestrial broadcast rights to The Simpsons from 1996 to 2004, where it aired on BBC One and, primarily, on BBC Two. The rights transferred to Channel 4 from 2004 onward.

Simpsonstombaker — The Fourth Doctor, as he appeared on *The Simpsons*.

Over the show's long run, The Simpsons has made several references to Doctor Who and its related universe, and as such is one of the few American-produced series to include such references. Doctor Who has often been mentioned by the Comic Book Guy.

There have been several explicit references to Doctor Who within episodes of The Simpsons in the episodes;

In 1995's Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming, a caricature of the Fourth Doctor appears as a representative of television.
In 1998's Mayored to the Mob, Tom Baker, who is in costume as the Fourth Doctor, gives his autograph to the children in Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con science-fiction convention.
Bart the Fink, where Comic Book Guy unambiguously refers to a "Doctor Who (episode watching) marathon".
In Springfield Up, Homer refers to a character voiced by Eric Idle as "Doctor Who".
In Treehouse of Horror X, Comic Book Guy has the Fourth Doctor concealed in a plastic bag, along with many other characters. He introduces the Doctor as "Doctor Who".
In Holidays of Future Passed, London is patrolled by bobby-wearing Daleks.
In the season 24 episode Love is a Many Splintered Thing, Alfred Hitchcock pilots the TARDIS in a British movie the kicked out men were watching.
In The Day the Earth Stood Cool, an outline of a Dalek can be seen in the bottom of T-Rex's drawer.

In 1996, writers Gary Russell & Gareth Roberts wrote together the book I Can't Believe It's an Unofficial Simpsons Guide.^[1]

The Simpsons, along with Doctor Who and various other franchises, appear together in the 2015 video game LEGO Dimensions.
