* The numbers in Strax's field report 11/13 seem to indicate the Eleventh Doctor out of thirteen incarnations, not regarding the displacement in number caused by the War Doctor and [[Meta-Crisis Doctor]], or refers to the number in a literal sense, being his self-designated name as "Eleven", and "13" being that he is the last of his regeneration cycle. "TCX" appears to be a way of saying "This coming Xmas", referring to the airing of ''The Time of the Doctor'' on Christmas. | * The numbers in Strax's field report 11/13 seem to indicate the Eleventh Doctor out of thirteen incarnations, not regarding the displacement in number caused by the War Doctor and [[Meta-Crisis Doctor]], or refers to the number in a literal sense, being his self-designated name as "Eleven", and "13" being that he is the last of his regeneration cycle.

* The later cinema screening of the [[Series 8 (Doctor Who)|Series 8]] premiere, ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', included an introduction similar in format to this Strax Field Report, also featuring Strax's fellow [[Paternoster Gang]] members [[Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint]], where Strax humorously recounts the first twelve incarnations of [[the Doctor]] to Sontar, making note of the [[War Doctor]] as well as the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s aborted regeneration, before alerting them to the appearance of [[Twelfth Doctor|the new Doctor]]. | * The later cinema screening of the [[Series 8 (Doctor Who)|Series 8]] premiere, ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', included an introduction similar in format to this Strax Field Report, also featuring Strax's fellow [[Paternoster Gang]] members [[Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint]], where Strax humorously recounts the first twelve incarnations of [[the Doctor]] to Sontar, making note of the [[War Doctor]] as well as the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s aborted regeneration, before alerting them to the appearance of [[Twelfth Doctor|the new Doctor]]. | ||
* Strax's comment about the [[Sixth Doctor]] perishing from a bump on his cranium refers back to a long-standing myth and misconception-turned-in-joke that the Sixth Doctor was killed by hitting his head on the TARDIS console, as [[Colin Baker]] was ejected from the role uncermoniously and declined to film his regeneration on-screen. Viewers were left to draw their own conclusions, and this became the popular assumption.
