  • The Constable sang 'Here we go round the prickly pear at five o’clock in the morning' which is a quotation from The Hollow Men by T. S. Eliot, the same poem which the Barber-Surgeon referenced in The Mission.
  • The Constable used matches that don't go out, and claimed that 'the Foreman' invented them.
  • The Constable referred to the Barber-Surgeon as 'the Foreman'.
  • The Barber-Surgeon's ultimate weapon was a temporal obliterator called 'the Unforgiving Minute' which he described as a 'trap for fools' that the Doctor must flee with 'sixty seconds' worth of distance run'; all quotes from the poem If— by Rudyard Kipling.
  • The Barber-Surgeon provided the War Doctor with a Time Ring to escape from his domain.
  • The Doctor reasons that, now that the Barber-Surgeon has been wiped from history, his campaign and the deaths he brought about have been averted as well.
