Er, so was Lord Kitchener.

Three years earlier than Uncle Sam…

If the Doctor was becoming Americanised, that poster would have read “jelly beans”.

Granted, the Lord Kitchener version came first, but the Flagg version is the one most often referenced in Anglo-American pop culture — and it is obviously the version that most influenced the visual style of the Doctor Who poster above.
