Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
A deleted scene of Human Nature, referencing the original novel, has the Tenth Doctor instructing Martha Jones not to let him eat pears when he turns into John Smith, as he would not want to have the taste in his mouth when reverted back into a Time Lord. Referencing this, the Doctor's phobia was mentioned again in media starting with The Taking of Chelsea 426. The running gag made its way to the TV series in Hell Bent and Twice Upon a Time. The novelisation, like both versions of Human Nature, was by Paul Cornell.
