Truth Seekers 1.4 The Incident at CovColCosCon featured a Dalek as it had entered a cosplay competition.
In this episode Gus (series co-creator Nick Frost) says that this Dalek looked better than the actual Daleks.
Gus says the Daleks' appearance had changed in Jon Pertwee's manifestation as the Doctor and that Tom Baker was his guy.
The Dalek was travelling in a van which also had Gus' father-in-law Richard as a passenger.
In the Doctor Who-Star Trek spectrum of things Richard is played by Malcolm McDowell and he had played the villain Soran in Star Trek: Generations.
The Truth Seekers episode marked the first appearance in the series by Taj Atwal.
Continuing with the topic of Nick Frost and Daleks, I saw the Truth Seekers episode just before rewatching Frost as Santa Claus in Doctor Who: Last Christmas.
Last Christmas also marked Samuel Anderson's swansong as Danny Pink and on this day I had a bookend of his appearances as Danny as I had earlier rewatched him in his debut Into The Dalek.
Despite Into The Dalek having Daleks in it as indicated in the title, Danny ironically didn't meet the Daleks not just in this episode but in his entire time in Doctor Who.

The antepenultimate episode of WandaVision, Breaking the Fourth Wall has a spoiler that is kind of Who-related: https://tinyurl.com/hqb9siuaAlso WandaVision featured S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient Weapon Observation Response Division) which in many ways is not unlike Torchwood.

The Flash 7.3 Mother had Ralph in a special suit and a special helmet.
With this helmet he spoke through a voice modulator.
This led to Chester to say that Ralph in speaking through this voice modular sounds like a Dalek!

The Flash 7.4 Central City Strong has Team Flash learning that Abra Kadabra (David Dastmalchian) is back in town having travelled from the far future in the 64th century.
Chester (Brandon McKnight) who is new to Team Flash gets excited about Abra Kadabra being a time traveller and wonders whether a TARDIS is involved!
This is the second episode in a row to have a Doctor Who reference and both made by Chester.
In the previous episode Mother, Chester made a Dalek reference.

Staged 2.3 The Dirty Mochyns has David and Michael having a zoom meeting with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.
This is the case of having the Doctor and Scotty together when Pegg shows his Star Trek mug and reference made of him having played Scotty in the Star Trek movies and Frost calling David Doctor Who.
Curiously enough Michael, Frost and Pegg all had guest stints in Doctor Who but each with a different Doctor who wasn’t David.
Pegg was The Editor in the Chris Eccleston episode The Long Game, Michael voiced House in the Matt Smith episode The Doctor’s Wife and Frost was Santa Claus first briefly at the end of the Peter Capaldi episode Death In Heaven and then fully in the next Capaldi episode Last Christmas.

The Sydney Sunday Telegraph on May 16 2021 has a piece on female superheroes entitled I Am Hero, Hear Me Roar by Duncan Lay.
Lay briefly mentions Doctor Who in this mix of female superheroes:
"Now, female heroes are just getting stronger. There is a female Doctor Who (Jodie Whittaker)..."

Staged 2.4 Woofty Doofty, David has David Tennant and Michael Sheen competing with the work they have done which included David saying, "I'm Doctor Who" and Michael responding, "Not anymore."
Doctor Who was mentioned earlier during a call with Tom (Ben Schwartz) when he says about Little Doctor Who in reference to the awards David has.
Doctor Who is referenced again at the end when David and Michael were talking about James Bond.
David says he was rumoured to be playing Bond as he says:
""Ex-Doctor Who could be stepping out of the TARDIS and into a dinner jacket," that kind of stuff."

Saw Peter Capaldi as The Thinker in The Suicide Squad (2021).
The Sydney Sunday Telegraph review on The Suicide Squad on August 8 2021 by Vicky Roach gave it four stars and verdict of "The superhero movie we've been waiting for."
On Capaldi, Roach says:
"By casting Peter Capaldi in the role of highly intelligent supervillain The Thinker, [director James] Gunn explicitly acknowledges the influence of seminal sci-fi series Dr Who, particularly when it comes to the low-tech look of his aliens."
