* The Doctor tricks [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] into returning home in the TARDIS, presumably using [[Emergency Program One]], although modified in that the TARDIS was programmed to return to him after Clara's departure. The [[Ninth Doctor]] previously tricked [[Rose Tyler|Rose]] into returning home in the TARDIS, and just like Clara, she manages to return both herself and the TARDIS to the Doctor. ([[TV]]: [[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|''The Parting of the Ways'']]).

* The Doctor explains the [[Crack]]s in time and the events of the reboot of the Universe to Clara. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')
* The Doctor explains the [[Crack]]s in time and the events of the reboot of the Universe to Clara. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')
* While investigating the Crack, the Doctor shows Clara a Seal of the [[High Council of Time Lords|High Council]] of [[Gallifrey]], claiming he "nicked it off [[the Master]] in the [[Death Zone]]." This is a direct reference to the events of [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', in which the Master, tasked with locating the Doctor in the Death Zone, is given the Seal to prove his credentials.
* To allow translation of the message, the Doctor uses a Seal of the [[High Council of Time Lords|High Council]] of [[Gallifrey]], claiming he "nicked it off [[the Master]] in the [[Death Zone]]." The [[Third Doctor]] did exactly that, incorrectly assuming that the Master had himself stolen it. The Doctor stated at that time he would return it to the High Council at his "earliest convenience". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')
* The Doctor confirms to Clara that although he is the Eleventh Doctor, he has used all twelve of his regenerations, and is therefore unable to regenerate again.  The two "missing" lives are the [[War Doctor]] (who was not generally referred to as the Doctor due to his actions in the [[Time War]]), [[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') and the regeneration by the [[Tenth Doctor]] when he sent his regenerative energy into a matching bio-receptacle (his severed hand) rather than change. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'')

([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'')
* It is confirmed that [[Time Lord]]s can only regenerate twelve times (for a total of thirteen lives), but that a Time Lord can be granted a new regeneration cycle. Judging by the Doctor's reaction when this happens to him, this is uncommon. The Master had been offered a new regeneration cycle by the High Council to persuade him to rescue the various Doctors trapped in the Death Zone, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') and was apparently given one when he was resurrected to fight in the Time War.

* The [[Silent]]s are revealed to be high ranking Confessional Priests of the [[Papal Mainframe]] (later the [[The Silence|Church of Silence]]), which were genetically engineered to allow people to confess their sins without remembering doing so, accomplished by fashioning the priests so anyone looking at them would forget their encounter when they looked away.

* As the [[Eighth Doctor|Eighth]], War, [[Ninth Doctor|Ninth]] and Tenth Doctors did, the Eleventh Doctor examines his glowing hands before he regenerates. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'', ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

* The Doctor silently materializes the TARDIS on [[Trenzalore]], something River Song did previously. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of Angels (TV story)|The Time of Angels]]'')

* The greatest fear in the Doctor's room from ''[[The God Complex (TV story)|The God Complex]]'' is revealed: it is a [[Time Field|crack]] in time. The fear is a result of his guilt from feeling responsible for weakening the integrity of the universe.
* The greatest fear in the Doctor's room from ''[[The God Complex (TV story)|The God Complex]]'' is revealed to have been a [[Time Field|crack]] in time.
* The Doctor again uses the phone on the outside of the TARDIS ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|The Bells of Saint John]]'', ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') once more despite having previously claimed that it is not a real phone ([[TV]]: ''[[The Empty Child (TV story)|The Empty Child]]''). It is revealed that this is because he keeps forgetting to transfer calls to the TARDIS through the phone on the console.

It is revealed that this is because he keeps forgetting to patch it back through the phone on the console. ([[TV]]: ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'', ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'')

* The Doctor uses "reverse the polarity" once more ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]''), a favourite phrase of the [[Third Doctor]].
