Some time in the 1970s, Mike Yates took Jo Grant to see the new Woody Allen movie. When she told John Benton her plans, he retorted, "Better you than me" — he was not a fan of Allen's films, and preferred the Carry On line when it came to comedy. Jo agreed — "He's not really that funny, is he?" — and admitted they were only going to see that movie because she'd already seen the other one playing. (PROSE: The Face of the Enemy)
Behind the scenes[]
Annie Hall, in the real world, was directed by and starred Woody Allen. According to the comic story A Rose by Any Other Name, the Tenth Doctor binge-watched that film and others after losing Rose Tyler.
Woody was presumed to be playing Albert Einstein in TV: Voyage of the Damned according to The Sun newspaper. Neither him, nor Albert Einstein appeared in the episode.
