<Li> In the 1991 episode of Red Dwarf, "White Hole", Kryten attempts to persuade Rimmer to make a sacrifice in the manner of the brave Captain Oates, to which Rimmer replies, "How do we know that Oates went out for this legendary walk?

Rimmer concluded, "If that'd been me, I 'd've stayed in the tent, whacked Scott over the head with a frozen husky, and then eaten him ." </Li> <Li> In the song "Héroes de la Antártida" by the Spanish pop group Mecano on their album Descanso Dominical . </Li> <Li> Australian post-rock band We Lost the Sea song "A Gallant Gentleman" on their album Departure Songs pays homage to Oates' sacrifice . </Li> <Li> In the third episode of the seventh series of Peep Show, Mark likens Jeremy's expedition to read Wuthering Heights on their balcony to Laurence Oates' death .
