* In the Doctor's room in Craig's flat there is a print on the wall which appears to be a variation of a van Gogh sketch of a [[wheat]] harvest from one of the artist's letters written in August 1884 ([[TV]]: ''[[Vincent and the Doctor]]''). [http://www.vggallery.com/letters/sketches/p_0508.htm]

* This is not the first time the Doctor has [[shower]]ed himself on screen, nor sung in the shower. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'')
* The [[Third Doctor]] also (at least once) sang while he [[shower]]ed himself. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'')
* While searching the Doctor's pockets for a red [[pen]], Amy finds her [[engagement]] [[ring]] from [[Rory Williams|Rory]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Cold Blood]]'') Her facial expression changes. During this moment, the crack appearing behind Craig's fridge expands.

* This is also not the first time, nor the last, that the Doctor has battled an automated [[spacecraft]] system, the crew all dead. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl in the Fireplace (TV story)|The Girl in the Fireplace]]'', ''[[The Curse of the Black Spot (TV story)|The Curse of the Black Spot]]'')

* The scene in which the Doctor surprises everyone with his skill in football bears a striking resemblance to his surprising skill when he played a game of [[cricket]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Black Orchid (TV story)|Black Orchid]]''.

* When seeing the faux-TARDIS, Craig says, "What, What...What?", much like the Tenth Doctor.
* The centre of the faux-TARDIS resembles the actual TARDIS' control room used by the [[Seventh Doctor|Seventh]] and [[Eighth Doctor]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') as well as one later used by the Eleventh. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Snowmen]]'', etc.) However, the centre console has large orbs for control devices, a characteristic usually seen in [[Dalek]] designs.

* This episode may hold the first "appearances" of the [[Silent]]s. Amy twice calls out to something in the TARDIS, but the scene immediately cuts after both instances which are then never mentioned again. This may indicate a Silent has snuck aboard the machine to tamper with it. When the Doctor is in the time ship, he notices the corpse of the supposed original pilot, seems concerned, then looks away and seemingly forgets. In ''[[Day of the Moon]]'', the Doctor mentions the ship was "abandoned," despite the fact that he saw the pilot's body and even heard from the on-board emergency system that the ship had crashed and the pilot had died, possibly further evidence of the details being erased from his memory. Also, the corpse's hands possessed four fingers, just as the Silence do.

Both of these are traits associated with the [[Silent]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'' / ''[[Day of the Moon (TV story)|Day of the Moon]]'')

* Seven of the Doctor's previous regenerations are shown.  
* Craig telepathically is shown seven of the Doctor's previous incarnations.

* The Doctor makes a piece of technology out of non-technological things, in this case a scanner made from a lampshade, bike wheel, washing line, ironing board, umbrella and a clock, just like [[Third Doctor|he]] did making a time flow analogue out of a cup of tea, a wine bottle, a set of keys and two forks. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster (TV story)|The Time Monster]]'')

* When the Doctor hands Craig the bag of money, he tells him, "Don't spend it all on sweets." The Ninth Doctor said the same thing to [[Adam Mitchell]] when he gave him the credit stick in [[TV]]: ''[[The Long Game]]''.

* It is hinted that a [[Silent]] from the [[Kovarian]] chapter of [[the Church]] invaded the TARDIS in secrecy during this adventure and programmed it to automatically fly away and explode on the day of [[26 June]] [[2010]] at the chapter's command.
