The story marked [[Donna Noble]]'s first full adventure as a companion following her memories of the Doctor being returned to her, with ''Wild Blue Yonder'' continuing immediately on from the end of ''The Star Beast''. It is also the first televised story to explicitly show a male incarnation of the Doctor shown being attracted to another person of the same sex, with the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] shown agreeing with Donna that [[Isaac Newton]], who they had just encountered, was "hot", something that surprises the Doctor, showing he was still learning more about his new, yet familiar incarnation. | The story marked [[Donna Noble]]'s first full adventure as a companion following her memories of the Doctor being returned to her, with ''Wild Blue Yonder'' continuing immediately on from the end of ''The Star Beast''.

Notably, after being referenced in the previous story, and with Donna's whole reason for going with the Doctor being to visit him, ''Wild Blue Yonder'' saw the return of [[Bernard Cribbins]] as [[Wilfred Mott]], marking Wilfred's first appearance in the series since [[The End of Time (TV story)|''The End of Time'']] 13 years ago with the rest of the Noble family. However, this appearance from Cribbins would be posthumous, as the actor would pass away in 2022 after filming his scenes and before this story had aired, and before being able to film other scenes featuring Wilfred that had been written prior to his death, making ''Wild Blue Yonder'' and the 2023 specials the final appearance of Wilfred and the final acting credit of Bernard Cribbins, with ''Wild Blue Yonder'' being dedicated to Cribbins' memory. | Notably, after being referenced in the previous story, and with Donna's whole reason for going with the Doctor being to visit him, ''Wild Blue Yonder'' saw the return of [[Bernard Cribbins]] as [[Wilfred Mott]], marking Wilfred's first appearance in the series since [[The End of Time (TV story)|''The End of Time'']] 13 years ago with the rest of the Noble family.
