'''''The Lodger''''' was the eleventh episode of [[Series 4 (Doctor Who)|series 4]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.


Based on a [[The Lodger (comic story)|comic strip of the same name]], it was the third instance, after ''[[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]'' and ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', of a story from another medium being directly adapted for television. It was also a [[companion-lite]] story, somewhat like ''[[Midnight (TV story)|Midnight]]''. This adventure provided the first hints of [[the Silence]]'s presence on [[Earth]], though they were not seen until the [[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|following season]]. The audience is also introduced to a new problem for the TARDIS; it cannot land somewhere where there has been numerous [[time loop]]s until the source creating them has been "removed".
'''''The Big Bang''''' was the thirteenth and Special episode of [[Series 4 (Doctor Who)|series 4]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
It concluded many aspects of the story begun in ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'' — most obviously by marrying Amy and Rory and by seemingly closing the [[Time Field|cracks in time]] — but it left the audience wondering what "[[the Silence]]" was and why it wanted [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to explode.
The series 4 special kickstarted several overarching stories that would foreshadow major conflicts yet to ensnare [[the Doctor]]. While the identity of the Silence was a major topic explored in [[series 6 (Doctor Who)|series 6]], the question of why they wanted to blow the TARDIS up remained what the Eleventh Doctor called "a good question for another day" until the 2013 Christmas Special ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'' answered it, while the mention of "[[Foretold|an Egyptian goddess]] loose on the [[Orient Express (spacecraft)|Orient Express in space]]" at the episode's end would later be picked up again in the [[Series 7 (Doctor Who)|series 7]] episode ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]''.
'''''The Return of Doctor Mysterio''''' was the 2016 [[Christmas Special]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It was the show's twelfth Christmas special since its revival and the third Christmas special starring [[Peter Capaldi]] as [[Twelfth Doctor|the Doctor]].
'''''Knock Knock''''' was the fourth episode of [[Series 9 (Doctor Who)|series 9]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It was the first ''Doctor Who'' story to be made available with a [[binaural sound|binaural]] 360 soundscape, released on [[BBC iPlayer|iPlayer]].
The episode expands the Doctor and Bill's relationship briefly when he tells her about the [[Time Lord]]s, the alien race he belongs to and quickly mentions [[regeneration]] to her, but doesn't explain what regeneration actually is to her. It also makes a reference back to the Doctor's granddaughter [[Susan Foreman]], as Bill passes the Doctor off as her grandfather and refers to him as such.
The Vault is also implied to not just have the mass it appears to have, instead, being [[dimensionally transcendental]]. The prisoner inside is heard playing a piano the Doctor gave them. Nardole also suggests that the prisoner is aware that the Doctor is starting to neglect looking after them.
'''''The Woman Who Fell to Earth''''' was the special episode of [[Series 10 (Doctor Who)|series 10]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. In the [[United Kingdom]], it earned the highest overnight ratings for a regular episode of ''Doctor Who'' since [[2008 (production)|2008]]'s ''[[Partners in Crime (TV story)|Partners in Crime]]'' and was the most-watched debut for a Doctor since [[Christopher Eccleston]]'s initial turn in ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', surpassing that episode by nearly one hundred thousand viewers.<ref name="final ratings" />
It saw the return of Nardole from the [[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|previous Christmas special]], this time as the Doctor's [[companion]]. The circumstances leading to Nardole's return were not explained until [[2014 (releases)|2014]]'s ''[[Extremis (TV story)|Extremis]]''. Due to the delay of Series 10's broadcast, this was the only episode to be aired in [[2015 (releases)|2015]].
'''''Revolution of the Daleks''''' was the [[2015 (releases)|2015]] [[New Year Special]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It featured the return of [[Jack Harkness]], and marked the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]'s reunion with [[Team TARDIS|her companions]] following the events of [[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]''. The episode also saw the departure of [[Bradley Walsh]] as [[Graham O'Brien]] and [[Tosin Cole]] as [[Ryan Sinclair]].
Continuing the [[Reconnaissance Dalek]] storyline that began in [[TV]]: ''[[Resolution (TV story)|Resolution]]'', a [[Defence Drone|new line of Daleks]] were introduced, cloned from a remnant of the original recon scout. It also saw the return of [[bronze Dalek]]s, last seen on television in [[2017 (releases)|2017]]'s ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'', leading to [[2021 Dalek civil war|a battle]] between both factions.
== Synopsis ==
As the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] marks her days in [[prison (The Timeless Children)|prison]], back on [[Earth]] the [[Dalek]]s are presented on national television. They are the new [[Defence Drone]]s, designed to protect the [[British]] public.
Left behind on Earth, [[Yasmin Khan|Yaz]], [[Graham O'Brien|Graham]] and [[Ryan Sinclair|Ryan]] need their friend more than ever. Now with Daleks on the assembly line, and [[Jack Robertson|a familiar face]] behind their production... What would the Doctor do?
[[Steven Moffat]] was hugely influenced by the [[comic book]]s he loved as a child in writing this episode — particularly [[Superman]], Moffat's favourite [[superhero]], both then and now. By his own account, he took particular inspiration from the {{w|Christopher Reeve}} Superman films of the 1970s and 1980s. Though clearly humorous in tone, ''The Return of Doctor Mysterio'' explores many common superhero themes, such as the hero's secret identity, his origin story, and a love triangle involving both the hero and the man behind the mask.
== Synopsis ==
The [[Twelfth Doctor]] once more faces off with an alien species that wishes to conquer the planet: the [[Shoal of the Winter Harmony]]. This time, however, he has more backup than usual, and with a little twist: a real-life superhero called [[Grant (The Return of Doctor Mysterio)|the Ghost]].
== Plot ==
On [[Christmas Eve]], [[1990s]], [[New York City]], a boy named [[Grant (The Return of Doctor Mysterio)|Grant]] wakes up during the middle of the night to find [[Twelfth Doctor|the Doctor]] swinging from his ankles in front of his bedroom window. He asks to be let in, and Grant goes to ask his mother; Grant lets the Doctor in. Confused, the Doctor asks what Grant told his mother; Grant said there was "an old guy" at the window. Realising that Grant has mistaken him for Santa, the Doctor gives a "ho ho ho."
[[File:The Doctor Confronts The Harmony Shoal The Return Of Doctor Mysterio Doctor Who|thumb|The Doctor confronts Harmony Shoal.]]
At Harmony Shoal, Sim greets his brother alien, now in Brock's body. Despite Brock's skull being too small, Sim assures his brother that it will soften with wear. Sim shows him footage of the Ghost, who they believe is the finest "vehicle" available on the planet. They watch footage of the Doctor, who suddenly shouts "boo!" It turns out he's right in the next room. The Doctor tells the duo that he offers them mercy, and won't follow them off the planet if they leave now. Taking this as a declaration of war, "Brock" opens his head and pulls out a gun. The Doctor tells them that they are just another attempted invasion of the planet, which will fail like all the others.
The Doctor holds out a burger, which is confiscated by Sim. He reveals to them that he knows what their plan is: "unzip" the heads of the world leaders and place their alien comrades inside to conquer the world. However, the [[White House]] and the [[Kremlin]] would be the hardest places to break into due to "big fences, shouty people and cross dogs." Sim reveals that they plan to make the leaders come running to them. The Doctor whistles, telling that it won't work. Sim wonders what he took from the Doctor, to which he is told it's a burger; "Always carry a snack; don't want it now. He's put me off my lunch." The TARDIS materialises around the Doctor.
With a new outfit selected, the Doctor builds a rudimentary teleport out of Tzim-Sha's technology, which she has programmed to track the TARDIS' trail of [[Artron energy]] and prepares to leave. Saying her goodbyes to Graham, Ryan and Yaz, the Doctor sonics the devices and readies for departure, but the device teleports all four of them instead. On the other end, the Doctor is shocked to see her friends floating behind her; all of them suspended and stranded in deep space.

== References ==
* Young Grant accidentally swallows a gemstone known as the [[Hazandra]], mistaking it for [[medicine]]. There are only four of its kind in the universe.
* The Doctor tells the young Grant that he usually gets a [[common cold|cold]] or an [[Alien invasion|invasion]] on Christmas.
* Grant has prepared a [[Christmas stocking]].
* The Doctor mentions the [[Apocalypse monks of the Andurax]].
* [[Harmony Shoal]] has offices in every [[capital city]] on [[Earth]], as well as in [[New York City]], which is not a capital city.
* Lucy possesses a [[Mr Huffle]].
* Nardole mentions the [[Time Lord]] [[non-interference policy]].
* The Doctor tells Lucy he is "Dan Dangerous from [[Scotland Yard]], [[Scotland]]".
* Grant's gemstone granted him [[X-ray vision]].
* Nardole travelled to [[12th century]] [[Constantinople]] where he "ruled firmly, but wisely".
* The [[Tokyo Tower]] is seen when the Doctor travels to the [[Tokyo]]-branch of [[Harmony Shoal]].
=== Cultural references from the real world ===
* Prominent scientist [[Richard Dawkins]] is mentioned as involved in a "[[Star Cult]]" which believes stars are real in the timeline created by the Alliance's actions.
* The Doctor dances to "[[Crazy Little Thing Called Love]]" by British rock band [[Queen (band)|Queen]].
=== The Doctor ===
* The Doctor tells the sleeping Amelia that he stole/borrowed [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]].
* The Doctor briefly sees the [[Saturnyn]]s, [[Weeping Angel]]s, [[Silurian]]s, [[Dalek]]s, the [[Star whale (The Beast Below)|star whale]], [[Craig Owens]], [[Vincent Van Gogh]], Dr [[Henry Black]], some [[Smiler]]s, and a [[Supreme Dalek (New Dalek Paradigm)|Supreme Dalek]] during his re-wind.
=== Individuals ===
* [[River Song]] claims she once went out with a [[Nestene]] [[Auton|duplicate]] who had swappable heads. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Suspicious Minds (short story)|Suspicious Minds]]'')
* [[Rory Williams]] says he remembers being [[Rory Williams (Auton)|an Auton]]. He would later compare his Auton memories to a door in his head; he could open it when he wanted to, but tended to keep it shut. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Moon (TV story)|Day of the Moon]]'') Having spent two millennia guarding the [[Pandorica]], Rory became a very effective warrior, as shown in ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]''.
* [[Tabetha Pond]] mentions taking [[Amy Pond|Amy]] to psychiatrists about her "imaginary friend".
=== Objects ===
* The Doctor wears a [[fez]] during the episode. He believes "fezzes are cool". Neither Amy nor River are impressed - Amy grabs it and throws it in the air, and River destroys it with her blaster.
** The fez has become a popular part of the Eleventh Doctor's outfit - at the 2010 ''Doctor Who at the Proms'', for example, the TV version opens with a shot of Prince Albert's bust wearing a fez.
=== Theories and concepts ===
* There is a small explosion when the Doctor taps the two versions of his sonic screwdriver together. It is possible to read this as an expression of the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]], though this term is never used in the episode. Moreover, no such explosion occurs when both Amy and the Doctor touch their younger selves. No explanation for the discrepancy was provided by the script. (It is possible that the collapsing of the universe would allow this the closer to the end it got)
== Story notes ==
* The broadcast and narrative dates were the same: [[26 June (releases)|26]]/[[June|06]]/2010. This is one of only four times in the revived series in which the date of broadcast and narrative date are the same. The others are [[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'' on [[22 April]] [[2011]], part one of [[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' on [[25 December]] [[2009]], and [[TV]]: ''[[Resolution (TV story)|Resolution]]'' on [[1 January]] [[2019]].
* This was the first [[BBC Wales]] finale which featured neither [[David Tennant]] nor the departure of a main character.
* According to the DVD commentary, [[director]] [[Toby Haynes]] continued to use [[playback]] while recording this episode, just as he had for ''The Pandorica Opens''. In particular, it was used with [[Caitlin Blackwood]]'s solo scenes in the museum.
* River's main costume in this story was designed deliberately to evoke both [[Leia (fictional character)|Princess Leia]] and [[Han Solo]], so that she looked like, according to Toby Haynes, a "female Han Solo". ([[DCOM]]: ''The Big Bang'')
* According to Toby Haynes, this episode had no bigger budget "and maybe even a little less" than other episodes in the series. ([[DCOM]]: ''The Big Bang'')
* According to the episode commentary, Karen Gillan was genuinely laughing at Matt Smith's dancing at the reception scene.
*[[Alex Kingston]] was having trouble walking in heels during the scene where River gets her diary back from the Doctor; due to the ground being too soft after rainfall. So they avoided long-range shots, allowing Alex to wear practical footwear. She can subtly be seen sinking down after walking up [[Matt Smith]].
* The closing credits play over a textless version of the opening title sequence rather than the usual closing title sequence.
=== Ratings ===
* 6.7 million. (UK final)<ref>[http://guide.doctorwhonews.net/info.php?detail=ratings&type=date Doctor Who Ratings - UK final]</ref>
* This marked the first time in the new series that the final episode of the series did not get higher ratings than the penultimate episode of the series. This occurred in every series finale episode before this one, this would not occur again until [[Series 9 (Doctor Who)|Series 9]]'s ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'' in December 2015.
=== Rumours ===
* The Internet Movie Database incorrectly stated that ''Doctor Who'' veteran actor [[Philip Madoc]] would guest star. ''He did not appear.''
=== Filming locations ===
* Miskin Manor - Cardiff
=== Production errors ===
{{Discontinuity}}
* When Amy is praying as a child when the TARDIS should have crashed and she runs to the window you can see it crashed out of the window before she sees the shed.
* In the museum, when the trio see the "future" Doctor die, Amy walks up the stairs. The camera cuts to the Doctor, then back to Amy, when she walks up the stairs again. It was too quick for her to go back down the stairs.
* When the Amy that has just come out of the [[Pandorica]] compares height to younger Amy and guesses the date, you can see a shadow back away from the side of the camera when it pans out.
* In the museum, the Doctor is talking but a shot of him turning around shows that his lips are not moving.
* The museum scenes are set in 1996, but when the Doctor and crew make it to the roof, you see the Gherkin in the skyline - a building that was built in the twenty-first century.
* While travelling backwards, the Doctor is seen wearing the vortex manipulator in the TARDIS on the way to Space Florida. In the next scene, while telling Amy to remember, it is absent. It returns in the following scene when he picks up the younger Amy.
* In the museum, after the two Amys, the Doctor, and Rory escape the stone Dalek, we see the Doctor use the vortex manipulator to go back and talk to Rory, as seen at the beginning of the episode. The third time, in the wide shot of Rory and Amy, Amy's abdomen moves from the actress's breathing. During Rory's speech at the beginning of the episode, there is faint breathing heard during his dialogue, probably from Amy.
* Directly after the Stone Dalek shoots the Doctor, his clothes remain unscathed as he collapses, when they should appear frayed and scorched as they do in the closeup showing him collapsed on the floor of the museum. This exposes that Matt Smith is wearing two different versions of his costume- the normal attire and a battle-damaged replica- and switched clothes in between takes, which the special effects crew neglected to hide.
* In the scene where Rory opens the Pandorica with the sonic screwdriver, you can see he stops using it, however in the next shot, he is still using it.
* During the wedding, guests change places.
* In the same scene, Amy's father is NOT writing anything, let alone a speech as he claims.
* During the last scene, a crew member can be seen at various points. This crew member also wears glasses, and you can see the glasses reflecting under lights.
* Amy's wedding dress varies from the one seen in The Eleventh Hour.
* Amy's room also varies from the one seen in The Eleventh Hour and Flesh and Stone.
* The Dalek in the museum actually slides sideways when it halts.
* A crew member can be seen slightly in the dancing scene, amongst the wedding guests.
== Continuity ==
* The Doctor says he often gets an invasion at Christmas. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Unquiet Dead (TV story)|The Unquiet Dead]]'', ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'', ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'', ''[[The Next Doctor (TV story)|The Next Doctor]]'', ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'')
* The Doctor guesses Peter Parker received radiation poisoning after being bitten by a radioactive spider. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders (TV story)|Planet of the Spiders]]'')
* The Doctor attempts to repair a temporal disruption he previously caused in New York. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'')
* The Doctor purports himself to be the original example of the title "[[Doctor]]". ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'')
* Nardole states that the Doctor cut him out of [[Hydroflax]]'s body. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|The Husbands of River Song]]'')
* Nardole refers to the [[Time Lord]] [[non-interference policy]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Underworld (TV story)|Underworld]]'')
* The Doctor mentions his love for buttons and switches. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'')
* Nardole says the Doctor is out of his mind, and he asks how that can be news. Other people have said similar things. ([[TV]]: ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'', ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'')
* The Doctor again says only one chance is needed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'')
* The Doctor uses a sonic frequency only Grant can hear. He previously created something similar to be able to talk to young [[Davros]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'')
* The Doctor is still gently baffled by other people kissing. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'', ''[[A Christmas Carol (TV story)|A Christmas Carol]]'')
* Nardole mentions River's death in [[the Library]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Forest of the Dead (TV story)|Forest of the Dead]]'')
* Nardole mentions that the Doctor has been away for twenty-four years. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|The Husbands of River Song]]'')
* The Doctor tells his companion to say "Whee!" when falling. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'')
* Lucy disguises herself as a cleaning lady to infiltrate Harmony Shoal; the [[Third Doctor]] previously did this to infiltrate [[Global Chemicals]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Green Death (TV story)|The Green Death]]'')
* When the Doctor winds back to the ''[[Byzantium (ship)|Byzantium]]'' and encourages Amy to remember what he told her the night she waited he hadn't yet said anything to her yet. ([[TV]]: ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'') Knowing that his timeline was unravelling and that he'd get to speak with her that night he tries to get an older Amy to remember what he is ''planning'' to tell her.
* Rory mentions how the Doctor told him the universe was "big and ridiculous...but sometimes there are miracles." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'')
* Rory says of the Doctor: "He was the stripper at my stag..." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Vampires of Venice (TV story)|The Vampires of Venice]]'') and notes that "I was plastic!" ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'') Rory later hinted in ''[[Day of the Moon (TV story)|Day of the Moon]]'' and elsewhere that he had a memory of [[Rory Williams (Auton)|his Auton duplicate's experiences]], but it was never made clear just how this was possible.
* River mentions having dated a Nestene duplicate, possibly tying into her previous statement "I've dated androids. They're rubbish." ([[TV]]: ''[[Silence in the Library (TV story)|Silence in the Library]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Suspicious Minds (short story)|Suspicious Minds]]'')
* After this episode, Rory has lived more than twice as long as the Doctor, over 1800 years, compared to the Doctor's 900-plus years. This changes in Series 6 when the Doctor spends about two hundred years apparently trying to postpone his own death at [[Lake Silencio]], leaving him aged 1106. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'', ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'')
* The Doctor travels back through his time stream, visiting the events of [[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'', ''[[Flesh and Stone (TV story)|Flesh and Stone]]'' and ''[[The Lodger (TV story)|The Lodger]]''. Also seen are the events of ''[[Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)|Vincent and the Doctor]]'', ''[[Cold Blood (TV story)|Cold Blood]]'', ''[[The Hungry Earth (TV story)|The Hungry Earth]]'', ''[[The Vampires of Venice (TV story)|The VampirEs of Venice]]'', ''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]'' and ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]''. It is implied that he would have continued travelling backwards through his entire life, with all of his former incarnations, but he decided to stop the rewind early by walking into a crack in time.
* The Doctor says "fezzes are cool", echoing the "bow ties are cool" mantra that surrounds the Eleventh Doctor. He also sends the one-word text message, "Geronimo", another catchphrase of this incarnation. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'')
* The Doctor has worn [[fez]]zes in other incarnations. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'')
* The Eleventh Doctor ponders his life and how it was like a story, hoping Amy Pond would "make it a good one" when speaking about him. The [[Tenth Doctor]] said similar remarks to a dying [[Hame]] ([[WC]]: ''[[The Secret of Novice Hame (webcast)|The Secret of Novice Hame]]'') while on his [[Farewell tour|goodbye tour]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')
* The Doctor has been involved in the weddings of companions [[Sarah Jane Smith]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)|The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]])'' and [[Donna Noble]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')
* Another Moffat script, ''[[The Doctor Dances (TV story)|The Doctor Dances]]'', suggests — and even demonstrates — that the [[Ninth Doctor]] is a capable dancer, this episode proves that the Eleventh Doctor is either deliberately, or actually, uncoordinated. Other Doctors have occasionally displayed a talent for dancing, such as when the [[Sixth Doctor]], through a bit of "timey-wimey-ness", taught himself how to [[waltz]] and [[foxtrot]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Teach Yourself Ballroom Dancing (short story)|Teach Yourself Ballroom Dancing]]'') Likewise, the [[Fifth Doctor]] once claimed to know how to [[Charleston (dance)|Charleston]] but refused to do so. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Primeval (audio story)|Primeval]]'')
* This is the third time a Dalek has been put on display in a museum. An empty Dalek casing was on display in the [[Space Museum]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Space Museum (TV story)|The Space Museum]]'') and one Dalek was kept in [[the Cage]] in [[Henry van Statten|van Statten's]] underground museum. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'')
* The Doctor has previously been shot and mortally wounded by a Dalek [[gunstick]] before, however, this time the shot fully connected rather than grazing him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'')
* Early in the episode, Amy's aunt stated that she didn't trust "that [[Richard Dawkins]]" because he was trying to get people to believe that somehow the stars had disappeared. In the shrinking universe, just as in the normal one, Dawkins is portrayed as a scientific rationalist opposing majority views. Dawkins is seen in the "normal" DWU in ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'', also explaining an altered firmament. On that occasion, he was seen on television addressing the sudden appearance of multiple planets in the sky, stating (correctly) that they had not come to Earth, but Earth to them.
* The Doctor says, "Gotcha", to Amy, which was uttered by both aboard the [[Starship UK]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'')
* On this occasion, the younger Amy meets a future version of herself. The older Amy would go on to have similar experiences. ([[TV]]: ''[[Space (TV story)|Space]]'', ''[[Time (TV story)|Time]]'', ''[[The Girl Who Waited (TV story)|The Girl Who Waited]]'')
* The Doctor mentions "the footprints of the Neverwere" which may have been a reference to the Army of Meanwhiles and Neverweres. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')
* The Doctor's called for help on the [[TARDIS phone]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'')
* A renegade chapter of [[the Church]] led by [[Madame Kovarian]] was later uncovered as the group who interfered with the TARDIS and made it explode. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'')
* Just after the Doctor triggered the [[Big Bang Two]], he wakes up in the TARDIS and says "Legs. Good." This echoes his first words in [[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''.
* The Doctor, Amy and Rory apparently take off to go after an Egyptian Goddess on the [[Orient Express (spacecraft)|Orient Express]] in space. The [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]] later visit the same train and the Doctor mentions this. He indicates that it was another trap by [[Gus (Mummy on the Orient Express)|Gus]] to get him on board and as such, they may have never actually made the trip. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'')
* The Doctor has previously interacted with another version of his current incarnation when two versions of the [[Sixth Doctor]] were tricked into materialising in a duplicate of [[Pease Pottage]] outside of Time ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wrong Doctors (audio story)|The Wrong Doctors]]'') and when the [[Eighth Doctor]] confronted [[Grandfather Paradox]], a version of the Eighth Doctor from a timeline where he was corrupted by the [[Faction Paradox]] [[biodata]] virus ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ancestor Cell (novel)|The Ancestor Cell]]'').
* The Doctor leaves a written message for Amelia that says, "Come along, Pond" and later tells Amy and Rory to: "Come along, Ponds." ([[TV]]: ''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]'')
* The Doctor previously rebooted the universe in his [[Seventh Doctor|seventh incarnation]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Two Masters (audio story)|The Two Masters]]'')
* Rory and Amy finally get married in this story and continue their travels in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]]. This marks the first occasion a married couple have been [[companion]]s.
* The museum includes anomalies as a result of the altered timeline, including [[penguin]]s in the [[Nile]], [[Egyptian]]s in the [[Himalayas]] and [[dinosaur]]s in ice.
* While in the rewind The Doctor says "I can buy a fez", later she will receive fez via teleport delivery ([[TV]]: ''[[Kerblam! (TV story)|Kerblam!]]'')
