* When the twelve Doctors contact the War Council to confirm they're ready to put Gallifrey into a pocket universe, the General complains "I didn't know when I was well off! All twelve of them!".

* When surrounded by Queen [[Elizabeth I]]'s soldiers, the [[War Doctor]] asks the [[Tenth Doctor]] and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] if they were going to "assemble a cabinet at them". The phrase "build a cabinet" was previously used by [[River Song]] in relation to the sonic screwdriver, and "build some shelves" was similarly used by [[Jack Harkness]]. ([[TV]]:'' [[The Doctor Dances]]'', ''[[Day of the Moon]]'') Ironically, the three Doctors later used their screwdrivers offensively to blast a Dalek back with a force field, destroying it. | * When surrounded by Queen [[Elizabeth I]]'s soldiers, the [[War Doctor]] asks the [[Tenth Doctor]] and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] if they were going to "assemble a cabinet at them".

* The War Doctor gripes at his future incarnations for brandishing their sonic screwdrivers as if they were water pistols. The Tenth Doctor actually used a water pistol against the [[Pyrovile]]s.

Chronological evidence indicates the Tenth Doctor experiences this adventure during the period when he was on a "farewell tour" before his final adventure as depicted in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''. Similarly, the Eleventh Doctor would regenerate in his next televised adventure, ''[[The Time of the Doctor]]''. Interestingly enough, all three Doctors are living under the shadow of a prediction or expectation of their own death. | ||
