- Another Who related sketch in 2023, the intro to Comic Relief 2023, depicts Lenny Henry regenerating into the Fourteenth Doctor in a homage to The Power of the Doctor.
- This was the first incarnation of the Doctor in any story made by the BBC to feature a black actor in the role. It wouldn't be until the casting of Jo Martin in 2020's Fugitive of the Judoon that a person of colour would portray a mainline incarnation of the Doctor, the Fugitive Doctor.
