** In "Dates", Raquel mentions that until that point her career highlight had been a small role in an episode of ''Series/DoctorWho'' -- which was intended to show how spectacularly ''un''successful she had been as an actress, since the show's ratings and reputation were a complete joke by that point, and it would be cancelled just under a year later. Exactly 25 years later the actress who played Raquel, Creator/TessaPeakeJones appeared in "[[Recap/DoctorWho2013CSTheTimeOfTheDoctor The Time of the Doctor]]", with the show's reputation pretty much the opposite of what it was when Raquel first appeared.

Added DiffLines:

* In one episode of "Series/{{The Black Adder}}", Prince Edmund has an arranged marriage to a Princess Leia of Hungary, who turns out to be a little girl. The "Franchise/{{Star Wars}}" reference in her name becomes funnier since the Obi-Wan Kenobi series showed us the galactic Princess Leia as a little girl.
