Shout-Out: To the opening of the 1964 film of First Men in the Moon: A Flash Forward shows a 1960s American moon expedition discovering evidence that Lord Zimbabwe's expedition got there decades before. Though in this version, the note they find reads "[static] off, signed Theremin." | |

Running Gag | |
| Ectoplasm (2000) (Radio) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Several: Doctor Lilac's tendency to go off on megalomaniacal rants (accompanied by the Deutschlandlied). The extreme lengths he goes to to find a scientific explanation for any occult events he's involved in. His long-winded scientific explanations sending everybody listening to sleep. Theremin's implacable refusal to perform any order Lord Zimbabwe gives him. Evil shape-changing pixies. Lord Zimbabwe's one-sided telephone conversations with Sherlock Holmes. | |
