Hell Bent (TV story): Difference between revisions

* Before the Doctor shoots [[the General]], he asks "Regeneration?", to which he replies "Tenth", reminiscent of an exchange between the [[First Doctor]] and the [[Fifth Doctor]] in the [[Death Zone]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') Under normal circumstances, Time Lords are only allowed twelve regenerations ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'', et al.).

* The Doctor steals a TARDIS and runs away. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor]]'')

* The [[Web of Time]] is mentioned. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Neverland (audio story)|Neverland]]'' et al., [[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'' et al.)

* The [[Chronolock]] still appears on Clara's neck. ([[TV]]: ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'') (However, it does not appear to be visible in the Diner scenes.)

* The TARDIS' classic sound when the doors opens can be heard. ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'' et al.)

* The General said that Rassilon was once a good man. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') The Doctor was previously concerned about his new regeneration not being a good man. ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'')

* The Doctor's TARDIS provides him with a new [[sonic screwdriver]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'', et al.)

* Prior to dematerialising, the Doctor's TARDIS still has [[Rigsy]]'s [[Clara Oswald memorial]] graffiti on it. ([[TV]]: ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'') However, the graffiti is removed before the TARDIS moves on; unlike in [[TV]]: ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'', however, the TARDIS removes it herself. The TARDIS previously removed posters plastered all over it when travelling through the time vortex. ([[TV]]: ''[[Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)|Vincent and the Doctor]]'')

* When the Doctor first walks into the diner, the song ''[[Don't Stop Me Now]]'' as performed on the [[Orient Express (spacecraft)|Orient Express]] can be heard in the background, apparently playing on a jukebox. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'')

* The Doctor again plays his guitar. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'', ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'')

* Clara mention that the Doctor said Gallifrey was frozen in another dimension. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'', ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') The Doctor says that it had somehow become unfrozen. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'')

* The reality bubble that Ashildr/Me uses to watch the universe die encloses a ruined section of the Cloisters from Gallifrey. The Doctor previously stated that Me was the Hybrid destined to stand in the ruins of Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'')

* The Doctor finds himself once more at the [[end of the universe]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'', ''[[Forest of the Dead (TV story)|Forest of the Dead]]'', ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The End (short story)|The End]]'', ''[[Midnight in the Café of the Black Madonna (short story)|Midnight in the Café of the Black Madonna]]'', ''[[Special Occasions: 2. Do You Love Anyone Enough? (short story)|Do You Love Anyone Enough?]]'', ''[[Engines of War (novel)|Engines of War]]'')

* The Doctor refers to the [[Cloister Wars]] and the night he apparently stole the moon and the President's wife, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') although he credits the latter as being a rumour spread by the [[Shobogan]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'') Clara instantly recognises these tales due to Missy having told her. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') Retroactively, this makes all three of Missy's statements (the third being that the Doctor was female as a child) untrue.  Assuming she knew the rumour to be false, she was lying when she claimed only one of the statements was a lie.

* The Doctor assumes the title of [[Lord President]] of Gallifrey once more. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'', ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') As with his [[Fifth Doctor|fifth incarnation]], he presumably vacates the position by running away from Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')

* Clara and Me are unable to get their TARDIS' [[chameleon circuit]] to function properly. This results in their TARDIS having its outer shell stuck in the shape of an American diner that the Doctor recalls visiting with [[Amy Pond]], [[Rory Williams]] and [[River Song]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'') mirroring the Doctor's own issue with [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his own]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'', et al.) Similarly, Clara claims to not mind, just as the Doctor himself has previously indicated. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', et al.)

* Like [[Susan Foreman]] at the time when she was the Doctor's first [[companion]], Ashildr has incredible knowledge by human standards while she looks barely adult. ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'', '' [[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Time & Time Again (comic story)|Time & Time Again]]'')

* The Doctor recalls an encounter with [[Skaldak|an Ice Warrior]] on a [[submarine]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Cold War (TV story)|Cold War]]'') and seeing [[Foretold|a Mummy]] on the [[Orient Express (spacecraft)|Orient Express]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Mummy on the Orient Express (TV story)|Mummy on the Orient Express]]'') while travelling with Clara.

* Preparing to wipe Clara's memory of him with a [[neural block]], the Doctor notes that he has done this before using [[telepathy]]. The [[Tenth Doctor]] previously wiped [[Donna Noble]]'s memory of him to prevent her mind from burning up after she was given his Time Lord knowledge after interacting with the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'') The Time Lords also previously wiped his [[companion]]s [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] and [[Zoe Heriot|Zoe]]'s memories of the Doctor aside from their first adventure with him after passing judgement at his first trial. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'') They did the same with a version of [[Peri Brown]] after his second trial. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story)|Peri and the Piscon Paradox]]'')

* {{Gomez}}'s bringing the Doctor and Clara together is mentioned. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|The Bells of Saint John]]'', ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'')
