It also saw the last regular appearance of [[Matt Smith]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]] in a surprise cameo set directly before his [[regeneration]].

| |
| * The Doctor accidentally brings Clara to [[Glasgow]].
| |
| * In his confusion, the Doctor thinks Clara is the regeneration of [[Handles]]. He also thinks that Strax is one of the seven dwarfs from ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, ''calling him "Sneezy", "Bashful", "Dopey" and "Grumpy".
| |
| * The Doctor is asked to buy Coffee for his companion, a similar scene occured in [[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]] where Rose asks The Doctor to buy Chips, both scenes The Doctor states he has no money.
| |
| === The Doctor ===
| |
| * The Doctor speaks both Dinosaur and Horse.
| |
| * The Doctor enhances the [[TARDIS control room]] with furnishings such as a chalkboard, bookshelves, and a recliner. He also changes the cold blue neon piping in the [[time rotor]] to a warmer amber, adding an ambient feel to the console room.
| |
| | |
| == Story notes ==
| |
| === Specific to theatrical presentation === | |
| * A specially recorded scene similar to the [[Strax Field Report]]s was shown before the episode in its showing in cinemas featuring the [[Paternoster Gang]]: [[Vastra]], [[Jenny Flint]], and [[Strax]]. The scene primarily focused on Strax humourously describing the first twelve incarnations of [[the Doctor]], making note of the [[War Doctor]] as well as the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s aborted [[regeneration]], to [[Sontaran|his people]], before alerting them to the appearance of [[Twelfth Doctor|the latest Doctor]]. He also made fun of the [[Ninth Doctor]]'s ears and the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s chin.
| |
| * A behind the scenes feature similar to the previous ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'', entitled ''[[Doctor Who Extra]]'', focusing on both the production of this episode and [[Peter Capaldi]]'s inauguration as the [[Twelfth Doctor]], was screened to participating cinemas following the showing of ''Deep Breath''. This was in turn followed by a live Q & A in [[London]], hosted by [[Zoe Ball]] with Peter Capaldi, [[Jenna Coleman]], and [[Steven Moffat]], was screened to cinemas following the showing of ''Deep Breath''.
| |
| | |
| === Common among all versions ===
| |
| ==== The Hanshaw Title Sequence ====
| |
| * This episode saw the debut of a new title sequence designed by Billy Hanshaw after executive producer [[Steven Moffat]] saw a video of his conceptual ''Doctor Who'' titles sequence on YouTube and decided to draft him aboard to do a professional version of his sequence. The new titles features a vast expanse of golden-bronze clock gears whizzing by in empty space, and then the TARDIS flying through a tunnel of Roman numeral clock face numbers spiraling into a literal depiction of a time vortex with glowing engravings of [[circular Gallifreyan]]. The TARDIS passes across the screen in a way very similar to the [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|Series 1]] title sequence as the TARDIS jumped from the blue to red time vortex, and then launches past a group of planets. Peter Capaldi's piercing eyes are shown, rather than a full insert of the actor's face.
| |
| ** Moffat replied in an interview, I happened across it [the title sequence], and it was the only new title idea I'd seen since 1963. We got in touch with him, and said, 'OK, we're going to do that one.'" Billy Hanshaw responded, "I had to pinch myself because I didn't know if it was really happening. It's one of those stories about people putting something on YouTube - it's usually a musician this happens to. They put a performance on there and they get picked up by a label. It's a similar kind of story. I thought, these things don't generally happen."<ref>http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-28871058</ref>

| == Continuity ==
| |
| * The Twelfth Doctor often reflects that he finds the current situation of robots harvesting human organs to repair a ship to be naggingly familiar ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl in the Fireplace (TV story)|The Girl in the Fireplace]]''), but his addled brain is unable to make the connection even when he notes that the ship- the [[SS Marie Antoinette]]- is the sister ship to the [[SS Madame De Pompadour]].
| |
| * The Doctor mentions [[Amy Pond|Amy]], making reference to her legs. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'')
| |
| * While performing a physical examination of Clara, Strax makes an observation on her [[thorax]] as did [[Linx]] with [[Sarah Jane Smith]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Warrior]]'') as well as [[Commander]] [[Skorr]] to [[Martha Jones]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem]]'')
| |
| * The Doctor wonders who gave Clara the phone number of the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|The Bells of Saint John]]'')
| |
| * The Doctor is sure he has already seen his new face before, and comments are made that suggest someone else used it before him, creating frown lines. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)|The Fires of Pompeii]]'')
| |
| * The Paternoster Gang are located in the Victorian era. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'', ''[[The Crimson Horror (TV story)|The Crimson Horror]]'')
| |
| * Clara learns why the [[TARDIS telephone]] was hanging off the hook when she returned to the TARDIS after the Eleventh Doctor began regenerating. Because he did not patch it back to the console unit, the Eleventh Doctor dragged the phone by its cord into the entrance of his console to make a private and final phone call to Clara in the near future, then neglected to properly hang up the phone with his time running too short to worry about it. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'')
| |
| * The Doctor can speak horse. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)|A Town Called Mercy]]'')
| |
| * The Doctor and Clara yell "Geronimo!" as a code word to spring the Paternoster Gang into action, a catchphrase used by the Doctor's previous incarnation. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' et al.)
| |
| * Jenny snaps at Vastra for calling humans derogatory terms because they're married. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'')
| |
| * Strax mentions using deadly acid again. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Crimson Horror (TV story)|The Crimson Horror]]'')
| |
| * When Clara sees the improved console room, she says, "You've redecorated... I don't like it." This was said verbatim by both the [[Second Doctor|Second]] and [[Tenth Doctor]]s at the sight of new TARDIS console designs. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'', ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')
| |
| * When the Doctor asks Clara to continue travelling with him, she answers, "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." The phrase was spoken often by the [[Tenth Doctor]].
| |
| * The Doctor wishes he had more "[[Roundel|round things]]" in his updated control room. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') He remembers he "[[First Doctor|had many round things once]]" and wonders where he put them.
| |
| * Clara's first and last interactions with the Eleventh Doctor are over the phone. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|The Bells of Saint John]]'')
| |
| * The Doctor states that he is over 2,000 years old. He once said he was over 1,200 years old ([[TV]]: ''[[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)|A Town Called Mercy]]''). After adding the 900 years he spent in the [[Siege of Trenzalore]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tales of Trenzalore]]'' to the aforementioned 1,200 or so, [[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]''), his age increases past 2,000.
| |
| * The Doctor once again confirms that he does not see the human race as "small" ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', ''[[Hide (TV story)|Hide]]'')

| |
| * The Doctor remembers that he wore a scarf once. ([[TV]]: [[Robot (TV story)|''Robot'']] et al.)
| |
| * The Doctor passing out and Jenny asking Clara who the Doctor is, is a complete copy of the opening scene from [[TV]]: [[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|''The Christmas Invasion'']]'', ''where [[Jackie Tyler|Jackie]] asked [[Rose Tyler: Earth Defence|Rose]] who the [[Tenth Doctor]] was.
| |
| * After seeing new Doctor, [[Madame Vastra]] says "Well then, Here we go again.", just like [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]] did. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders (TV story)|Planet of the Spiders]]'')
