* When trying to release herself from the vocally-locked [[handcuffs]], the Doctor claims that her failure to open them might be to do with the fact that she was [[Scottish]] when she set them up, and proceeds to attempt a [[Scotland|Scottish]] accent. According to the [[BBC America]] subtitles, she first attempts to copy the voice of the [[Twelfth Doctor]] ([[Peter Capaldi]]) and then the [[Seventh Doctor]] ([[Sylvester McCoy]]). | * When trying to release herself from the vocally-locked [[handcuffs]], the Doctor claims that her failure to open them might be to do with the fact that she was [[Scottish]] when she set them up, and proceeds to attempt a [[Scotland|Scottish]] accent.

* [[Karvanista]]'s attempt at [[Hypnosis|hypnotism]] by swiping his hand across in front of Dan's face is similar to that of the "Jedi Mind Trick" from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' saga. | * [[Karvanista]]'s attempt at [[Hypnosis|hypnotism]] by swiping his hand across in front of Dan's face is similar to that of the "Jedi Mind Trick" from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' saga. | ||
* [[Dan Lewis]]' apparent dislike for [[Leeds]], and nearby [[Sheffield]], stems from the historic rivalry between [[Lancashire]] and [[Yorkshire]]. Dan is a born Liverpudlian, and the city of [[Liverpool]] was historically part of Lancashire before the reform of county boundaries in [[1974]]; both Leeds and Sheffield are typical Yorkshire cities. | * [[Dan Lewis]]' apparent dislike for [[Leeds]], and nearby [[Sheffield]], stems from the historic rivalry between [[Lancashire]] and [[Yorkshire]].
