A poem featured the lines:

Boldly they rode and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of Hell.

While being surrounded by Weevils, Jack Harkness quoted from the poem, starting with the lines:

Weevil to the left of them,

Weevil in front of them.

Owen Harper sarcastically asked whether Jack was quoting Eminem or Chris de Burgh. (PROSE: Slow Decay ^[+]Loading...["Slow Decay (novel)"])

The Twelfth Doctor had read "Charge of the Light Brigade" "about a hundred times," and was surprised to find camels in Crimea as the poem had no mention of them. (AUDIO: The Charge of the Night Brigade ^[+]Loading...["The Charge of the Night Brigade (audio story)"])
