* References to popular culture play an important role in this story. Mags, who is unfamiliar with "references", becomes amnesic half-way through and it is thanks to people's continuous mentions of popular culture references that her memory is jogged and she recalls Ace, Rufus and the Doctor. | * References to popular culture play an important role in this story.

* When Janet comes in to see Mags after her shift in the hospital has ended, Mags has set up her room as a trap, stuffing pillows under he blankets of her hospital bed to make it look she is asleep so that when Janet enters the room she could knock her out with the IV stand, dress up in Janet's uniform and escape. Janet immediately realises this and stops Mags from enacting her plan, explaining that doing something like that is not nice at all. This is a common trope found in many television shows and movies. While it is initially avoided here, later on Mags protests about knocking out Lex but the Doctor reminds her that Lex isn't necessarily human and she obliges. | * When Janet comes in to see Mags after her shift in the hospital has ended, Mags has set up her room as a trap, stuffing pillows under he blankets of her hospital bed to make it look she is asleep so that when Janet enters the room she could knock her out with the IV stand, dress up in Janet's uniform and escape.

* The Doctor says he knows a man "who puts ferrets down his trousers". This may be a sly reference to the actor of the Seventh Doctor, [[Sylvester McCoy]], who used to do that for a living before starting ''Doctor Who''. | |||
