** [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie The TV Movie]] ends at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day 2000, with fireworks exploding over San Francisco after the Doctor and friends have defeated the Master. While the fireworks aren't for the Doctor, it counts as a victory since he prevented the world from ending before the fireworks could take place. Also counts as FireworksOfLove, since the Doctor and Grace kiss.
--->'''Doctor''': ''[seeing the fireworks]'' Now that's as it should be.
** Exaggerated in [[Recap/DoctorWho2022NYSEveOfTheDaleks "Eve of the Daleks"]], where the fireworks are actually the ''cause'' of the victory. [[spoiler: The Doctor and friends defeat the Daleks and break the GroundhogDayLoop using fireworks illegally stored at the storage facility to blow it up and crush them.]]
