Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency was likewise cribbed from “Shada”, an uncompleted Doctor Who story. Professor Chronotis was originally from “Shada”, as was the fictional college he works at (St. Cedd’s), his time machine (which closely resembles a TARDIS), and his unnaturally long life. The story itself also derives from his completed Doctor Who story “City of Death.”

When Douglas Adams needed to come up with a storyline for the third book of The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy, Life, the Universe and Everything, he took an old Doctor Who movie script called “Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen” and rewrote it to be about the Guide characters (with some difficulty; he would later say the problem was finding a Guide character who was interested in saving the universe — he eventually settled on Slarty and Trillian, who essentially become Expies of the Doctor and Sarah Jane).

I think that was a very clever line. It absolutely made sense in terms of character—that’s exactly what that version of the Doctor would say. So it didn’t break the fiction. But at the same time it was a bigger line than that. It was partly Russell [T Davies] expressing how he felt about leaving the show because we were all leaving together. David Tennant, The Big Issue, 2012

This was one of the most emotionally charged single line of dialogue I’ve ever heard on any TV media I’ve experienced in my life.
