According to [[Steven Moffat]] in a video introduction, "series 10 sort of begins the show again. [''The Pilot''] introduces everything you need to know about ''Doctor Who'', and tips you into the [[Doctor Who universe|universe]]". Indeed, through Bill's eyes now, new viewers are introduced again to the character of [[the Doctor]], [[the TARDIS|his TARDIS]], his enemies the [[Dalek]]s, and his versatile tool, the [[sonic screwdriver]], much like they did through [[Rose Tyler]] in [[series 1 (Doctor Who)|series 1]]'s 2005 "pilot", ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', or through [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] in the original 1963 introduction, "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]" | According to [[Steven Moffat]] in a video introduction, "series 10 sort of begins the show again.

This was also the first on-screen depiction of [[Movellan]]s since their debut in ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]''. The episode introduces [[St Luke's University]], where the Doctor apparently has been lecturing for over fifty years, and begins a plot thread surrounding what he and [[Nardole]] are hiding in [[Vault (The Pilot)|a vault]] beneath the campus. This bears some similarity to the era of the [[Third Doctor]], who was likewise restricted in his travels and held a job as the scientific adviser of UNIT. | This was also the first on-screen depiction of [[Movellan]]s since their debut in ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]''.
