 * Captain Jack has his hammy moments, mostly on Torchwood, but it's generally scarier when he's delivering a cold [[Hannibal Lecture]] to his  {{spoiler|mutinying}} team.
 * The [[Big Finish Doctor Who]] audio play ''Omega'' has an in-universe [[Large Ham]] in the form of Daland. A [[Classically-Trained Extra]] on a [[Show Within a Show]], he declares, upon hearing that he might be replaced by a robot: "no mere ''machine'' could do my job!!" To which [[Deadpan Snarker|Sentia]] replies: "I dunno, a fridge could do your job. You can fit a lot of ham in a fridge."
