An issue of Doctor Who: the Twelfth Doctor from Titan Comics, based upon Doctor Who, features the Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald sharing an adventure with Charlotte Bronte. Clara, a schoolteacher, and the Doctor, an older-looking, stern man, show themselves to be masters of Snark-to-Snark Combat, and the relationship between the two in the comic and on screen always had an element of intentional Ship Tease. As such, the story ends with Bronte revealing that Clara and the Doctor have inspired the characters of Jane and Mr. Rochester.
In An Education, Jenny and the others in her literature class discuss Jane Eyre, which is Foreshadowing for the fact Jenny finds out David, the older man she's been seeing, is actually married.
In There's More Than One Way Home, Anna thinks that her friendship with Mairead is as if Bertha Rochester came down from the attic and found Jane Eyre a good companion.
In Lost Voices, someone retrieves a copy of Jane Eyre from a shipwreck. Unfortunately, it's too waterlogged to read.
In The Mermaid's Daughter, Harry's parents think she's sacrificing too much for her girlfriend Kathleen. Harry thinks of a Jane Eyre quote: "To be privileged to put my arms round what I value—to press my lips to what I love—to repose on what I trust: is that to make a sacrifice? If so, then certainly I delight in sacrifice."
In Friends, Jane Eyre is discussed during literature classes that Phoebe is taking. Rachel didn't read it and believes Phoebe when she sarcastically says that the plot involves cyborgs. Rachel says it in front of the teacher, starting with a reasonable sentence that the book was so ahead of its time. Though apparently, she later started to compare it with RoboCop (1987).
