* The tune played by the Doctor when he was sitting in the diner is a simplified version of [[Clara Oswald]]'s theme from the Series 7-9 soundtracks. It is a rare example of a piece of incidental music composed for ''Doctor Who'' becoming part of its [[Doctor Who Universe|in-universe]] narrative. The Doctor says he believes the song is called "[[Clara (song)|Clara]]". "Clara?" is the name of the track on the Series 7 soundtrack, though it has also been performed at the Proms and other events as "The Impossible Girl" and was titled "Clara and the TARDIS" on the soundtrack for ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'', which featured the first appearance of the melody. In the context of the story, it is implied that the melody represents the now-forgotten words Clara says to the Doctor in the Cloisters; this is supported by the fact the same piece of music plays (in a full orchestral version) when the episode cuts away from the couple as Clara begins to speak. | * The tune played by the Doctor when he was sitting in the diner is a simplified version of [[Clara Oswald]]'s theme from the Series 7-9 soundtracks.
