* Strax's point that in the end, only a small fraction of all the past Doctors appeared in ''The Day of the Doctor'' (a point illustrated by photographs of [[the Doctor (The Brain of Morbius)|the "Morbius" Doctors]]) rode the wave of the controversial reinstatement in the then-latest televised ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story, ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'', that [[the Doctor's early life|showed lives]] before being the [[First Doctor]] and that the faces seen in ''[[The Brain of Morbius (TV story)|The Brain of Morbius]]'' were indeed the Doctor's. | * Strax's point that in the end, only a small fraction of all the past Doctors appeared in ''The Day of the Doctor'' (a point illustrated by photographs of [[the Doctor (The Brain of Morbius)|the "Morbius" Doctors]]) rode the wave of the controversial reinstatement in the then-latest televised ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story, ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'', that [[the Doctor's early life|showed lives]] before being the [[First Doctor]] and that the faces seen in ''[[The Brain of Morbius (TV story)|The Brain of Morbius]]'' were indeed the Doctor's. | ||

* On top of being [[Steven Moffat]]'s first ''[[Doctor Who]]'' script since [[2017 (releases)|2017]]'s ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'' and his first ''Doctor Who'' material altogether since [[2018 (releases)|2018]]'s ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' novelisation, the skit was also the first time since ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'' in [[2014 (releases)|2014]] that [[Dan Starkey]] and [[Neve McIntosh]] appeared as [[Strax]] and [[Vastra|Madame Vastra]] in a film production, although the first only appears as a miniaturised doll and the latter is only heard. | |||
