| * Yet another person who might otherwise prevent the Doctor from being where he needs to be has a miraculous windfall at just the right time.

| | * After the Doctor "shares" his knowledge with Craig, he sees brief flashes of [[the Doctor]]'s [[First Doctor|first]], [[Second Doctor|second]], [[Third Doctor|third]], [[Fourth Doctor|fourth]], [[Eighth Doctor|eighth]], [[Ninth Doctor|ninth]] and [[Tenth Doctor|tenth]] incarnations; [[Cybus Cybermen|Cybermen]], [[Rose Tyler]], an [[Ood]], a [[Racnoss]], and a [[Weeping Angel]]. |
| * When the Doctor rushes out of the shower in fear of Craig's safety, he grabs Craig's {{w|electric toothbrush}} rather than his [[sonic screwdriver]].

| * When dressing for the [[football]] match, the Doctor asks Amy if "it's the one with the sticks", seemingly indicating that he doesn't know the game. However, he's soon shown to have commanding competence. Later, in [[COMIC]]: ''[[They Think It's All Over (comic story)|They Think It's All Over]]'', he's shown to have a deep knowledge of the game, which rivals the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s knowledge of the annals of [[cricket]]. This is a trait he shares with the [[Eighth Doctor]], whose enthusiasm for the sport is seemingly boundless in both [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Living Legend (audio story)|Living Legend]]'' and [[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game]]''. | |

| * Twice whilst in the TARDIS, Amy calls out to someone off screen then seems to forget them. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut]]'') The first time coincides around the moment the Doctor explains he cannot use the sonic screwdriver in the vicinity of Craig, and the second instance is right after Amy reports that the number 5 is being displayed on the TARDIS monitor. Each time, Amy looks on in shock and shouts, "Hey!"

| * The TARDIS has a [[Zigzag plotter]], and it is implied that the functionality of this control depends on where you stand when using it. When Amy first attempts to use it (with her right hand and back to the door) it doesn't seem to work. The Doctor advises her to take 2 steps to the right. She does so, and this time manipulating the Zigzag plotter (with her left hand) does the trick. | | * The TARDIS has a [[Zigzag plotter]]. |
