References!

Dunno if this has been done before, but what are your favourite references to things in the new series?

They could be to the old series, or to other tv shows.

My personal fave is craig doing the 'beam me up' thing in closing time

Mine is Rose and the 9th Doctor's reference to Santa Claus:
Rose: Look at you, beaming away like you're Father Christmas!
The Doctor: Who says I'm not, red-bicycle-when-you-were-twelve?
Rose: What?

I never understood that one. Does it mean the doctor was Santa Claus when she was twelve?

I think so... They never explained it, though when Amelia prayed to Santa the Doctor did appear XD

I just discovered one yesterday and was so happy. In Tooth and Claw, the doctor introduces himself as Dr James McCrimmon - referencing the 2nd doctor companion jamie

I loved it in the one with Shakespeare when on two occasions, they made Harry Potter references. "Good old JK!" and "Just wait till you read the 7th book..."

you missed a reference - at the end, to rhyme with 'harm us', Shakespeare uses EXPELLIARMUS to make the Carrionites disappear.
