Good Omens (2019)

The Book - S1-E2

Trivia: Alongside Witchfinder Sergeant Shadwell's ad for assistance with combating the forces of darkness is another asking whether anyone has found Uncle Terry's broad-brimmed black hat and also making mention of a red and yellow scarf. This is a reference to Terry Pratchett and his style of dress. (00:20:10)

Doctor Who (2005)

The Unquiet Dead - S1-E3

Trivia: At the undertaker's, the Doctor remarks on the strange behaviour of the gas light and Charles Dickens says "What the Shakespeare is going on?" This is a joke on Dickens' name, the expression "What the dickens...?" being a euphemism for "What the devil...?", making out that the phrase wasn't in use in Dickens' time and came from his name. In fact, "What the dickens...?" is much older than Dickens himself and has been in use since the sixteenth century, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
