Inspirations for Season 2

Our continuing event series acknowledging inspirations for recent stories...

Many great ideas had sparks of inspiration!
For example, Archimedes with buoyancy and water displacement… and streaking? 😲

Classic Who stories... and other sources... have been credited by Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat as inspirations for some of the episodes on Disney+!

----------------

We can discuss any of them but see this prior to the event:

Time and the Rani
- May be seen on BritBox or Tubi https://tubitv.com/tv-shows/200030764/s24-e01-time-and-the-rani-pt-1
(If time, see the Rani's initial appearance in The Mark of the Rani https://tubitv.com/tv-shows/200030701/s22-e07-the-mark-of-the-rani-pt-1 )

You don’t need to completely view these but skim through to get a feel for some of the references:

Some well-known Fleischer Studios animation:
Mr. Bug (Hoppity) Goes to Town https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIVz0uRWBPE
Betty Boop in Snow-White https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXKRZzfuNXc (colorized)

One of 2 appearances by poor jilted Ms. Trench (before she swore off men) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b15-P12gIf0

Mr. Benn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN-xmyjbMSU&list=PLLhOnau-tupRahc55SIt7g6huhuJSQeDJ
Also note the Costume Shopkeeper (wearing his fez, bow tie) and his TARDIS 🤔

So what episodes on Disney+ did these spawn?
We’ll invariably talk about Season 2 (on Disney+, Dec 2024-May 2025) again as we note the references. And there are additional episodes and sources of inspiration so come up with your personal list to share! But don't enter them in the Comments section now, save them for the event.
