* The Doctor tells Clara that they are riding a motorbike because he does not bring the [[TARDIS]] into battle, fearing that it may fall into the wrong hands. The same concern had been expressed by the [[Ninth Doctor]] to [[Rose Tyler]]. However it is interesting to note that the Doctor has used the TARDIS in battle, or at least had it on a battlefield, many times; indeed it even received damage when it was dropped into the Crucible's core.
