* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' did this so often ('''''116 times''''' by the end of the 2011 season) that the companion book "A History of the Universe" used "The Noun of Adjective" as the title in its sample entry. Just to name a sample:
** "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S1 E5/E05 The Keys of Marinus|The Keys of Marinus]]"
** "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S1 E8/E08 The Reign of Terror|The Reign of Terror]]"
** "([[Doctor Who/Recap/S4 E3/E03 The Power of the Daleks|The Power]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S4 E9/E09 The Evil of the Daleks|The Evil]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S9 E1/E01 Day of the Daleks|Day]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S10 E4/E04 Planet of the Daleks|Planet]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S12 E4/E04 Genesis of the Daleks|Genesis]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S17 E1/E01 Destiny of the Daleks|Destiny]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S21 E4/E04 Resurrection of the Daleks|Resurrection]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S22 E6/E06 Revelation of the Daleks|Revelation]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S25 E1/E01 Remembrance of the Daleks|Remembrance]], [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S3 E5/E05 Evolution of the Daleks|Evolution]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31 /E03 Victory of the Daleks|Victory]]) of the Daleks"
** "([[Doctor Who/Recap/S5 E1/E01 The Tomb of the Cybermen|The Tomb]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S12 E5/E05 Revenge of the Cybermen|Revenge]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S22 E1/E01 Attack of the Cybermen|Attack]], [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S2 E5/E05 Rise of the Cybermen|Rise]]) of the Cybermen"
** "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S5 E5/E05 The Web of Fear|The Web of Fear]]"
** "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S7 E3/E03 The Ambassadors of Death|The Ambassadors of Death]]"
** "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S8 E2/E02 The Mind of Evil|The Mind of Evil]]"
** "The Seeds of ([[Doctor Who/Recap/S6 E5/E05 The Seedsof Death|Death]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S13 E6/E06 The Seeds of Doom|Doom]])"
** "The ([[Doctor Who/Recap/S9 E2/E02 The Curse of Peladon|Curse]], [[Doctor Who/Recap/S11 E4/E04 The Monster of Peladon|Monster]]) of Peladon"
** "The ([[Doctor Who/Recap/S15 E6/E06 The Invasion of Time|Invasion]], [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S4 /E17 E18 The End of Time|End]]) of Time"
** "([[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S4 E9/E09 Forest of the Dead|Forest]], [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S4 /E15 Planetofthe Dead|Planet]]) of the Dead"
** Plus 35 more times in the classic series -- most notably, all but one story in Season 13 (and again in Season 14).
** And 20 more times in the new series (up to the end of Series 6). Whew!
** Directly referenced in the [[Big Finish]] audio ''...Ish'', where the Doctor lists "The Adjective of Noun" as one of the sentient ''words'' he has encountered in his travels.
** Statistically the most likely title? [[Doctor Who/Recap/S10 E4/E04 Planet of the Daleks|Planet of the Daleks]]. Also surprisingly high on the list: [[Death Takes a Holiday|The Death of Death]] and [[Groundhog Day|The Day of Time]].
** One Comic Relief ''Doctor Who'' special was entitled "The Curse of Fatal Death", spoofing both this practice and the title "The Deadly Assassin", which was [[Shaped Like Itself|about as silly.]]
** ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' follows in its parent show's footsteps, racking up 14 examples over five series.
