* This episode had the record for the most incarnations of the Doctor portrayed in one episode —twelve, including the [[War Doctor]] played by [[John Hurt]], revealed in the final moments of the episode. However this was broken by [[The Day of the Doctor]], which featured thirteen, possibly fourteen Doctors due to cameos from [[Peter Capaldi]] and [[Tom Baker]]. | * This episode had the record for the most incarnations of the Doctor portrayed in one episode —twelve, including the [[War Doctor]] played by [[John Hurt]], revealed in the final moments of the episode.

* Ultimately, Clara's companionship with the Doctor is something of an [[ontological paradox]]; the Doctor might not have invited 21st Century Clara to travel with him if he had not met the echoes of her in the [[Dalek Asylum]] and [[Victorian]] [[London]], but if she never travelled with the Doctor, those echoes would never have existed. | * Ultimately, Clara's companionship with the Doctor is something of an [[ontological paradox]]; the Doctor might not have invited 21st Century Clara to travel with him if he had not met the echoes of her in the [[Dalek Asylum]] and [[Victorian]] [[London]], but if she never travelled with the Doctor, those echoes would never have existed. | ||
* This episode shows clips of different versions of Clara scattered throughout the Doctor's timeline: advising the [[First Doctor]] to steal his Type 40 TARDIS on Gallifrey(from [[TV]]: ''[[The Aztecs (TV story)|The Aztecs]]''), calling out for the [[Third Doctor]] as he's driving away in [[Bessie]] (from [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''), chasing after the [[Fourth Doctor]] on Gallifrey ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]''), finding the [[Fifth Doctor]] trapped in the Matrix ([[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]''), trying to find the [[Sixth Doctor]] on his TARDIS, watching the [[Seventh Doctor]] hang on to his umbrella ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]''), running after the [[Second Doctor]] (with footage taken from [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') and the [[Eighth Doctor]], the Tenth Doctor as he stands in [[the Library]] and seeing the [[Ninth Doctor]] run past her while she was inside the Doctor's time stream. | * This episode shows clips of different versions of Clara scattered throughout the Doctor's timeline: advising the [[First Doctor]] to steal his Type 40 TARDIS on Gallifrey(from [[TV]]: ''[[The Aztecs (TV story)|The Aztecs]]''), calling out for the [[Third Doctor]] as he's driving away in [[Bessie]] (from [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''; the Great Intelligence is also seen in this part of the sequence, also observing), chasing after the [[Fourth Doctor]] on Gallifrey ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]''), finding the [[Fifth Doctor]] trapped in the Matrix ([[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]''), trying to find the [[Sixth Doctor]] on his TARDIS, watching the [[Seventh Doctor]] hang on to his umbrella ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]''), running after the [[Second Doctor]] (with footage taken from [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') and the [[Eighth Doctor]], the Tenth Doctor as he stands in [[the Library]] and seeing the [[Ninth Doctor]] run past her while she was inside the Doctor's time stream. Other than the First Doctor, the story does not reveal how the echoes directly interacted and aided the other incarnations, though both the editing suggests the Third and Seventh Doctors (alongside the First) did see her. | ||
* When the [[Great Intelligence]] is in the Doctor's timeline we additionally see the [[First Doctor]] examining the seal under the tomb of [[Yetaxa]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Aztecs (TV story)|The Aztecs]]'') and the Great Intelligence's former henchmen, the [[Robot Yeti]], from the [[London Underground]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Web of Fear (TV story)|The Web of Fear]]'') | * When the [[Great Intelligence]] is in the Doctor's timeline we additionally see the [[First Doctor]] examining the seal under the tomb of [[Yetaxa]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Aztecs (TV story)|The Aztecs]]'') and the Great Intelligence's former henchmen, the [[Robot Yeti]], from the [[London Underground]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Web of Fear (TV story)|The Web of Fear]]'') | ||
::* While many of these appearances are taken from actual footage of the original actors in character, many of them are lifted from different contexts than they appear here. As mentioned below, for example, there was no previous footage of the [[First Doctor]] stealing the TARDIS that would become his (or, as argued in [[TV]]: [[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|''The Doctor's Wife'']], the TARDIS stealing the [[First Doctor]]). Similarly, the [[Second Doctor]] was never before seen running across a palm-tree lined beach in a fur coat, although he was seen ''running'' in a fur coat, in [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''. | ::* While many of these appearances are taken from actual footage of the original actors in character, many of them are lifted from different contexts than they appear here.
