** In "[[Recap/DoctorWho2015CSTheHusbandsOfRiverSong The Husands of River Song]]", the Twelfth Doctor's antlers are not holographic, they're hologrammatic.

* ''Series/TheBrittasEmpire'': In Episode 5 ("Stop Thief!"), Gordon's wife reveals that Gordon briefly worked for the Samaritans, on what became known as Black Friday because all four people he spoke to committed suicide. And one of them was the wrong number. This mirrors Rimmer’s experiences with the Samaritans (As seen in “The Last Day”), complete with the wrong number. Doubles as an ActorAllusion (Both Brittas and Rimmer are played by Creator/ChrisBarrie).

* A...very out of place reference appears in ''FanFic/FreedomDiesWithMe'', specifically referencing the Space Core Directives gag (though referring to the No-Zone Multiverse Rules instead), down to using an actual rule from a piece of Red Dwarf supplemental material (Rule #592: ''In an emergency situation involving two or more officers of equal rank, seniority will be granted to whichever officer can program a VCR)''.
* In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13792437/1/New-Life-A-Sly-Cooper-Thieves-In-Time-Sequel New Life: A Sly Cooper Thieves In Time Sequel]], the Sega alternative is called 'Smega'. Carmelita & Demi own a console made by them called the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis 'Exodus']].

* In another example from Creator/PeterDavid, in the later Literature/StarTrekNewFrontier novels a character has died and been transferred into the ship's computer, reappearing as a hologram.

* In ''Webomcic/{{Frefall}}'', Florence (an organic artificial intelligence) is being checked for active Direct Orders. She is presented with a table on which there is an apple, a banana, and an orange. Asked to identify one correctly, she does so. The examiner then says, "Direct order: What is this?" She answers, "A small, off-duty, Czechoslovakian traffic warden." The examiner doesn't want to be near if she's ever ordered to identify a female aardvark.

* In ''Series/{{Misfits}}'', Rudy's tendency to [[StarfishCharacter split]] into a confident-but-{{Jerkass}} and a sweet-but-insecure version of himself refers to the episode "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIonfidenceAndParanoia Confidence and Paranoia]]".

* Several contestants on ''Series/RobotWars'' referenced the show, largely because Creator/CraigCharles was the host for most of its original run.
