Hmmmm...nothing comes straight to mind. Certainly can't think of anything in either of the Christmas Specials.

I seem to recall in that episode set on the space station watching the end of the Earth (the one with Zoe Wannamaker as the stretched out bit of skin?), those wee droid things skittering through the air ducts looked like a cross between Ep.I Pit Droids and the Sentinels from the Matrix. But I put that down to lazy design 
Other than that there could well have been the kind of script references to R2/Vader that most shows throw in (Holby City and True Dare Kiss are two that leap to mind), but I don't recall seeing or hearing anything that made me notice (and I usually do, like most folks round here.)
I'm very civilian when it comes to Dr.Who. Although one of my best mates is a hardcore Whovian, and he's civilian when it comes to SW, so it balances out

Can I interest you in a Back to the Future reference? When the Doctor uses that to explain temporal physics (is that the right term?) to Martha during "The Shakespeare Code".

The Doctor's hand got cut off by a sword in The Christmas Invasion way back in 2005. A slight Empire moment -- and the hand is later used to rapidly age the Doctor as part of a plot by the Master, similar to how Joruus C'Baoth cloned Luke through his hand.

Also the Torchwood weapon destroying the alien ship in that episode where the hand gets cut off is modelled after how the Death Star superlaser firing looks like.

Ah, yeah. Knew I'd forgotten something from that ep. Also, not a reference, but the Futurekind in this year's Utopia reminded me of Darth Maul: feral humans, all tatoos and teeth. And pretty much just comprised of a menacing appearance that's completely superflous to the larger story.

The most recent episode "Last of the Time Lords" has a pyre scene for the cremation of The Master that is, if not a homage, then complete plagiarism.

Um, thanks a lot. Here in the US, we're only up to the first episiode with The Master.

Yeah, the pyre scene is clearly an homage to RotJ. Dr.Who regularly references pop culture so Star Wars references are to be expected.
The Who's been great since its return but with the second half of the third series the quality of the writing has been awesome. 'Blink' in particular was just brilliant. These kinds of time travel ideas have been done before, but this was the best I've ever seen it done. I really hope they can keep the standard up, but I'm a little sceptical about the return of Catherine Tate for the 4th series.
I saw the 'Sarah Jane Adventures' yesterday. K-9's not in it. What's that all about?

"Blink" was absolutely superb, one of my fave eps since the relaunch of the show. I love The Doctor's "time-wimey things" explanation (heh, or lack thereof). It's a very cool concept -- that things like time and space are in reality so vast and beyond the limited mortal comprehension of humans.
Of course, this also works as a nifty cheat to not get bogged down with details in the writing!

True, but it also ties in with at least some of the views physicists have about time and causality (not an area of expertise for me, sadly). 'Heroes' (we're half way through the first series in the UK) seems to be wrestling with some similar ideas.

Yes, Heroes also has done decently with time travel ... i won't spoil anything, but the first episode of the second season/series also introduces some more interesting stuff via Hiro's time traveling.
As a general rule, i think it's a great concept -- and something Einstien postulated, at least in passing -- that despite mankind's belief that we know and understand general laws of the universe (nothing faster than the speed of light, etc, etc), we may in fact be completely wrong -- or at least not have even close to having the whole picture.

Tough luck. It's not a spoiler anymore as it aired over 3 months ago.
People are free to talk about BSG and Lost even if they haven't aired in places other than America, so it's no different if the roles are reversed.
