* The Woman who greets the Doctor at the old barn immediately recognises him when she meets his gaze. This suggests Time Lords can be recognised despite regeneration, like the Tenth Doctor implied. (TV: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') However, it's also implied if a Time Lord's gender changes, they are harder to recognise as the Twelfth Doctor didn't know Missy was the Master. (TV: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') | * The Woman who greets the Doctor at the old barn immediately recognises him when she meets his gaze.

* This is the first ''[[Doctor Who]]'' television story to actually show a [[regeneration]] from a male body to a female. There have been references to this having happened with the [[Corsair]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'') and [[the Master]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'', ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]''), and it was one of the options the [[Eighth Doctor]] received in ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'', but it has never been featured on a televised story until now, in this case [[the General]] from his eleventh to twelfth incarnation. | * This is the first ''[[Doctor Who]]'' television story to actually show a [[regeneration]] from a male body to a female.

**It also shows the first change of skin colour from white to black. The first incident was of [[River Song|Melody Pond to Mels]], but the change was never seen, but the change the other way around was seen in [[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]] | **It also shows the first change of skin colour from white to black.

* This marks the first time a ''Doctor Who'' television episode has had the minor expletive "hell" in the title. The word previously appeared in the titles of the comic stories ''[[A Cold Day in Hell! (comic story)|A Cold Day in Hell!]]'' and ''[[The Road to Hell (comic story)|The Road to Hell]]'' as well as the audio story ''[[Minuet in Hell (audio story)|Minuet in Hell]]''. | * This marks the first time a ''Doctor Who'' television episode has had the minor expletive "hell" in the title.

* This episode marks the first televised appearance of an interior shot of a TARDIS other than [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the Doctor's]] since ''[[Time and the Rani]]'', the latter being [[the Rani]]'s. It is only the second [[TARDIS control console]] seen other than the Doctor's since ''Time and the Rani,'' after the [[Junk TARDIS]] in ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]] | * This episode marks the first televised appearance of an interior shot of a TARDIS other than [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the Doctor's]] since ''[[Time and the Rani]]'', the latter being [[the Rani]]'s.

* The tune played by the Doctor when he was sitting in the diner is a simplified version of [[Clara Oswald]]'s theme from the Series 7-9 soundtracks. It is a rare example of a piece of incidental music composed for ''Doctor Who'' becoming part of its [[Doctor Who Universe|in-universe]] narrative. The Doctor says he believes the song is called "[[Clara (song)|Clara]]". "Clara?" is the name of the track on the Series 7 soundtrack, though it has also been performed at the Proms and other events as "The Impossible Girl" and was titled "Clara and the TARDIS" on the soundtrack for ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'', which featured the first appearance of the melody. In the context of the story, it is implied that the melody represents the now-forgotten words Clara says to the Doctor in the Cloisters; this is supported by the fact the same piece of music plays (in a full orchestral version) when the episode cuts away from the couple as Clara begins to speak. | * The tune played by the Doctor when he was sitting in the diner is a simplified version of [[Clara Oswald]]'s theme from the Series 7-9 soundtracks.

* The ''Radio Times'' programme listing was accompanied by a small colour head-and-shoulders shot of the General, with the accompanying caption "Doctor Who / 8.00 p.m. The General (Ken Bones) prepares for battle in the series finale". | * The ''Radio Times'' programme listing was accompanied by a small colour head-and-shoulders shot of the General, with the accompanying caption "Doctor Who / 8.00 p.m. The General (Ken Bones) prepares for battle in the series finale". | ||
