Some subtle (and not so subtle) winks and nods from Doctor Who, to you!

When a TV show has been around for as long as Doctor Who, you'd better believe that the people behind it will know their audience.
They know what they like, they certainly know what they don't like, and they also know just how much knowledge hardcore Whovians have about the inner workings of their favourite show.
As a Who fan, it's always fun to pick up on the various tropes and running gags that exist in the land of time and space. As for the writers, they often enjoy highlighting these tropes and running gags, in the hope that anyone watching is paying enough attention to notice.
On that note, this list is all about the times Doctor Who went out of its way to get fans in on the joke, from subtle hints to behind-the-scenes goings-on, references to previous plot holes and inconsistencies, or by making fun of the show's cliches.
Doctor Who has done it all, and done it in style.
Casual viewers may have missed these moments, but those in the know will have definitely picked up on these rather meta observations...
