=== Series 1 ===

* {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}:

** The concept of a [[time war]] originated in the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comic {{cs|4-D War (comic story)}}, where [[Time Lord]]s of the [[Dark Times]] fight in the [[Black Sun War]]. The concept would later become a major part of the [[War in Heaven]] of the ''[[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]]'', before eventually finding its way onto television in the form of the [[Last Great Time War]], initially mentioned in {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}.<ref>[[Lance Parkin]], an author for the [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]] line, discussed the development of this, its impact on the book line, and the behind-the-scenes thought process [http://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/time-can-be-rewritten-41-the-gallifrey-chronicles/#comment-35223 here].</ref>

** In the ''[[Virgin New Adventures]]'' novel {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}}, the [[Time Vortex]] is red when travelling forward in time and blue when travelling backwards. This idea was used again from [[Series 1 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 1]] to [[Series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)|4]] of the new series.

** Although the final design of the [[Supreme Dalek (The Stolen Earth)|Supreme Dalek]] only retains the three [[Luminosity discharger|dome lights]] (in place of the typical two) as evidence of it, concept art proves that its design was influenced by the ''[[TV Century 21]]'' [[Dalek Prime|Golden Emperor]]'s, much like that of [[Davros]]'s [[Dalek Emperor|imperial]] [[casing]] in {{cs|Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)}}.

** Davros has a [[Davros' mechanical hand|mechanical hand]] that replaced the one shot off in {{cs|Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)}}. He was first depicted this way in the audio play {{cs|The Juggernauts (audio story)}}.

** The American version of UNIT had also been first mentioned in the novel {{cs|Bullet Time (novel)}}, and UNIT's previous amount of separate divisions were seen in the novel {{cs|The Dying Days (novel)}}.

* In {{cs|Journey's End (TV story)}}, the TARDIS is piloted by six people. This was the intended number, as revealed in the novel {{cs|Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible (novel)}}.

* In {{cs|Hell Bent (TV story)}}, the Doctor tells Clara to "never eat [[pear]]s". The Doctor's distaste for pears was first mentioned in the novel {{cs|Human Nature (novel)}}. The [[Human Nature (TV story)|televised adaptation]] originally contained that same reference, lifted directly from the novel, but the scene was deleted. The reference to pears survived in spin-off media with {{cs|The Taking of Chelsea 426 (novel)}} carrying it over, before ''Hell Bent'' became the first story to acknowledge this on screen.

* {{cs|The Husbands of River Song (TV story)}}:

** While still pretending to be a [[Surgeon (The Husbands of River Song)|simple surgeon]], the [[Twelfth Doctor]] mentions that the real Doctor might be batting "giant robot fish from the [[Ninth Dimension]]". The [[Second Doctor]] sent the [[Arcturian]]s to the Ninth Dimension in the [[1967 (releases)|1967]] short story {{cs|Only a Matter of Time (short story)}}, from [[Doctor Who Annual 1968]].

** Although not named as such, the story features the first televised [[retro-regeneration]]. The Doctor and other Time Lords had been subject to this concept numerous times in other media. Examples include the novels {{cs|State of Change (novel)}} and {{cs|Sky Pirates! (novel)}}, the comic {{cs|The Fountains of Forever (comic story)}} and the audio {{cs|The Lost Magic (audio story)}}.

* {{cs|Destination: Skaro (TV story)}}:

** [[Castavillian]] suggests several anagrams for [[Kaled]], one of which is [[Klade]]. The Klade are humanoid descendants of the Daleks, first mentioned in the novel {{cs|The Infinity Doctors (novel)}} and later featured in the novel {{cs|Father Time (novel)}} and the comic {{cs|Miranda (comic story)}}.
