During the break in the middle of the episodes, a trailer for the era of the show that was currently streaming was showed. Many memes came from those trailers, most memorable was [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] saying "London, 1965!". The meme encouraged the official ''Doctor Who'' [[YouTube]] channel to change the name of the clip of Ian and Barbara leaving the Doctor to "London 1965". | During the break in the middle of the episodes, a trailer for the era of the show that was currently streaming was showed.
