* When discussing Grayle's immortality with Charley, the Doctor notes that he considers his ability to [[Regeneration|regenerate]] superior to Grayle just living forever as regeneration allows him to change where Grayle remains stuck in his existing viewpoint; this is in sharp contrast to the Doctor's attitude towards regeneration in his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth]] and [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth]] incarnations, with these later Doctors initially reluctant to change out of fear of losing the men they were. | * When discussing Grayle's immortality with Charley, the Doctor notes that he considers his ability to [[Regeneration|regenerate]] superior to Grayle just living forever as regeneration allows him to change where Grayle remains stuck in his existing viewpoint; this is in sharp contrast to the Doctor's attitude towards regeneration in his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth]] and [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth]] incarnations, with these later Doctors initially reluctant to change out of fear of losing the men they were. | ||

When Charley and the Doctor arrive in Edward the Confessor's court and spot Grayle, the Doctor mentions seeing tension patterns on his head and says it's only something one picks up on when "you're used to the [[Bitch|bitchiness]] of Time Lord society". As ''Doctor Who'' is primarily a franchise aimed at children, cursing and rude words have typically not been a part of the program (although this has been relaxed somewhat in the revived series due to a shift in the demographic). Note that this does not include spinoffs such as "[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]" which are aimed at a more mature audience and do include the use of such words. | ||
