:::To all: There may have been another, very indirect, reference in the episode. The shiny metal plate (the Rolls Royce one) that the Doctor used as a mirror seems to be from a Foden marine engine. From what I can gather via Google, that engine was often used to drive a type of electric generator that was notorious for being unreliable & (guess what) making the lights flicker. --[[Special:Contributions/2.96.26.113|2.96.26.113]]<sup>[[User talk:2.96.26.113#top|talk to me]]</sup> 12:46, October 2, 2012 (UTC) | :::To all: There may have been another, very indirect, reference in the episode.

::::In regards to the metal plate: I'm still not convinced that it's supposed to reference something in the real world. I should, however, note that I've seen several difference people find an engine or a piece of equipment online that they attribute that plate to. While I don't really agree with any of the finds so far (since none them '''exactly''' match this plate) I do think its interesting how many ways people were able to connect those items to the DWU. My personal favorites were the connections people made to Merlin and Spitfires. I will say, I had to stop the episode in the middle of my very first viewing just to get a picture of the plate, and to write down a copy of everything on it. So far the only thing I can speculate of being of seeming to be any importance on the plate is the lack of numbers after each of the "No." segments. I kind of just chalk this up as somehow being a small reference to information "disappearing" in this current story arc. I am sure that we'll find out what it means later when we have more information and episodes.
