** Not all of them were BBC originals in the first place; for example the BBC bought a load of ex-Gerry Anderson props in the early '70s, so one sonic screwdriver prop was from the movie ''[[Thunderbirds]] Are Go'', and various control panels from ''[[UFO]]'' turn up occasionally up to the mid '80s.
** This is most prominent in the late 70s and early 80s between ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[Blake's 7|Blakes Seven]]'', where the shows shared an excessive amount of props and costumes. Romana I and Servalan wore the same white feather cloak, the guards in Frontios wore the Federation guards' helmets from B7 and certain idiosyncratic wall panels show up ''all the time''. Of course, the series shared writers and producers as well and Terry Nation even planned a real crossover at one point.
** Several sets constructed in Italy for [[HBO]]'s ''Rome'' were reused for the episode "[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S4S30/E02 The Fires of Pompeii|The Fires of Pompeii]]" in the new series.
** Also, the {{spoiler|Sontaran cloning table on which Martha was held}} in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S4S30/E04 The Sontaran Stratagem|The Sontaran Stratagem]]" is obviously made from a Cyber Conversion Unit.
** The spaceship set used in "The Lodger" showed up again, slightly modified, in "Day of the Moon", with no clear connection between the two uses. Some fans believe that they are meant to be the same, but this is not stated in the show.
* The duck lamp seen in Newman's appartment in some episodes of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' comes from the little-known 1980s sitcom ''The Duck Factory''.
