Noddy

Noddy was a character from Enid Blyton's books. (TV: ) He also existed as a real person in Earth-33⅓. (COMIC: ) 
== History ==
When the Tenth Doctor was nonplussed at the extraordinary coincidence that Agatha Christie could be in the middle of a murder mystery or the idea of Charles Dickens seeing Christmas ghosts, Donna suggested the absurdity of meeting Blyton and finding her having tea with Noddy. She asked him if Noddy actually existed and he assured her that he didn't. (TV: )
However, one of the artefacts on the Dr Smith shelf in P.R.O.B.E. HQ, given to P.R.O.B.E. by various time travellers and left there until their purpose became apparent, was a complete set of Noddy books complete with a post-it note marking them out as "very important". (PROSE: )
== Other realities ==
=== Earth-33⅓ ===
In Earth-33⅓, when the First Doctor exhibited a great distaste for the BBC's New Adventures of Noddy, Susan thought he was exaggerating. Noddy then quipped that "They'll be taking Dick out of the Famous Five next!". (COMIC: )
== Behind the scenes ==
=== In non-valid sources ===
Noddy was driving his car through the Magic Garden when a young boy called for a taxi, with Noddy stopping to let him into the car. Noddy drove the boy through Toyland, past Big Ears, PC Plod, Pingu, and Morph, before dropping him off at a garden and driving away. (TV: )
=== Other matters ===
* Earlier in the same scene of that includes a discussion of Noddy, the Tenth Doctor refers to PC Plod, an insult referencing a character from the Noddy series of books.
* The version of Noddy seen in is the one depicted in Noddy's Toyland Adventures.
* On screen, Noddy has been voiced most prolifically by Susan Sheridan, who played the character throughout the entire run of (1992-2000).
* In 2009, the blog Teatime Brutality jokingly asserted that, based on the Tenth Doctor's lines about Noddy in , Enid Blyton's Noddy books were the only work of fiction which could resolutely be stated to be non-canonical relative to Doctor Who, complete with a tongue-in-cheek "diagram" to this effect.Canon and Sheep Shit: Why We Fight. on Teatime Brutality (2009). This claim was later echoed in Elizabeth Sandifer's TARDIS Eruditorum.You Were Expecting Someone Else II (1966 Annual, The Dalek Book, Dalek World) on TARDIS Eruditorum (2011).
