what Harry 20 says at the end of Harry 20 On The High Rock obviously paraphrases a certain 60 cult Tv series

it was a few years after reading Robo Hunter: The Sound Of Music I realised who Sir Oswald Modroid was based on

GIs and Dolls was obviously a reference to Guys And Dolls

In the same era of Rogue, all the following are titles I wouldn't have recognised at the time, as I hadn't come across the original being referenced:

       
  • All Hell on the Dix-I Front
  • Frisco Fog
  • From Hell to Eternity
  • Gasbah
  • M for Murder
  • To the Ends of Nu-Earth
also Venus Bluegenes

I'm guessing Johnny Red would have affected a middle class accent in the raf despite his background

Wouldn't Johnny Red have a posh accent if he was in the RAF?

wonder what the Melchester accent is like!

Yeah I remember him mentioning 2000 AD when they had a couple of old Tennant Who episodes with commentaries - Halo Jones, Max Normal in Gridlock (although it's also reminiscent of the Terror Tube) and Bisley's Slaine for the look of the devil in The Satan Pit.
I think Gridlock may have been inspired by a couple of Future Shocks as well

The galaxy's greatest got a shout out on the latest edition of this Radio 4 show-somebody mentioned a story in an early prog featured a story with giant Tardigrades, does this ring a bell for anyone?

Dunno if this has been mentioned before but DJ1's look was obviously based on the Dr Feelgood logo
