These are references to recursion from popular culture so don't expect a great deal of actual and correct technical explanations. However you still may find these pics from the "Tam fav. picks" entertaining:
Tom Baker era: [Logopolis episode, references occur at time indices 11:30 & 16:30]
Peter Davidson era: [Castrovalva episode, it's supposed to be a direct reference to recursion but the analogy is less direct than the above video]
A 'Whovian' explanation of how recursion works: [Web page]
Escape From the Planet of the Apes: [Video, reference occurs after 29:30]
