'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the fiftieth anniversary special of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. The episode featured the return of [[David Tennant]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]], and the appearance of [[John Hurt]] as a previously unknown incarnation of the Doctor; [[The War Doctor]]. The special also included a surprise cameo from an elderly [[Tom Baker]], the former [[Fourth Doctor]], deliberately keeping the nature of his role ambiguous as either the Doctor or someone else entirely - [[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|The Curator]].

* The [[Tenth Doctor]], when returning to his own timeline, tells the [[Eleventh Doctor]] that he is glad his "future is in good hands." These are the exact same words the [[First Doctor]] says to the [[Fifth Doctor]] upon the former's departure. ([[TV]]: [[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]])

* The Tenth Doctor, upon hearing of Trenzalore, says they need to take a different direction as "I don't want to go." His successor notes that "He always says that.", being his last words before his [[regeneration]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

* When the War Doctor enters the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS he says he really 'let it go', the Eleventh comments that this was his grunge phase. When the Eleventh Doctor enters the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS Console Room he loads his own 'desktop' changing the TARDIS design, the Tenth declares he doesn't like it. Both of these reference the [[Second Doctor]] when he saw the [[Third Doctor]]'s TARDIS ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]''), and the Eleventh Doctor when visited [[Craig Owens]] in his new home. ([[TV]]: ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'') The TARDIS told the doctor that she archived past and future versions of the console room in [[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)]]. While changing the theme the Console Room briefly features a hybrid of the Tenth Doctor's Console Room and the original TARDIS roundal design, the War Doctor's TARDIS is later seen using this theme during the envelopment of Gallifrey.

* Kate asks Osgood to tell "Malcolm" to change the batteries in the robotic ravens outside the [[Tower of London]], and later calls Malcolm to request some of her father's files. This could be a reference to [[Malcolm Taylor]], a UNIT scientist the Tenth Doctor met during his time on [[San Helios]] with [[The Swarm (Planet of the Dead)|the Swarm]].
