** UNIT has apparently developed quite a pattern of using Creator/DerrenBrown to explain away awkward incidents, of which only the latest involves flying a police box over London using a helicopter.

** The exact circumstances which led to the Doctor discovering that his "timey-wimey detector" can boil an egg at 30 paces, [[BlackComedyAnimalCruelty leading to some presumably very unpleasant fates for some chickens]], are not explained, perhaps mercifully.

* The in-universe tie-in website ''Who is Doctor Who?'' invited readers to [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent post "sightings" of the Doctor]]. Hundreds of reports were hosted on the website, ranging from a sentence to a paragraph in length, and typically took the form of the reader having bumped into the Doctor and/or Rose whilst they were in the midst of an adventure, or seeing them in historical records as in "Rose".

** Also, the implication is that the Doctor ran away from Gallifrey with the prototype before leaving it in London 1963. How did he acquire it?



* [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E7TheUnicornAndTheWasp "The Unicorn and the Wasp"]]: The Doctor mentions an incident where he was "in the Ardennes, looking for Charlemagne. He'd been kidnapped by an insane computer." This is accompanied by a flashback of the Doctor carrying a bow and arrows while using a machete to hack his way through underbrush (suggesting that this may the same noodle incident as the one that appeared at the end of Blink).

There's a short story, formerly on the ''Doctor Who'' website but since removed, which covers this, and it is a different incident from the one in Blink.

** For that matter, since he's Prisoner Zero, are there other prisoners? Or is he the only one?


Added DiffLines:

** If the Doctor is to be believed, he once invented a robot boyfriend. It was awkward.

* [[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E1DayOfTheDaleks "The Day of the Daleks"]]: The Doctor told Napoleon that an army marches on its stomachs.



** The same story has the Doctor show off an escapology trick he learned from Harry Houdini.



** The Doctor says that Napoleon gave him the bottle of wine he and his companions are drinking. Well, he says gave... ''threw'' is a better description. One wonders if this took place during the same incident mentioned in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E1DayOfTheDaleks "The Day of the Daleks"]].

** The Doctor references a number of monsters/weapons that fought in the Time War. The names he drops are the Nightmare Child, the Skaro Degradations, the Horde of Travesties, and the Could've Been King and his army of Meanwhiles and Never Weres. The implication is that each is some kind of EldritchAbomination but we're never given any indication what they were or what side (if any) they each fought on. Even when the Time War is shown in [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor "The Day of the Doctor"]], none of them appear. The only other thing we know is that since Davros' command ship flew into its jaws, the Nightmare Child must've been '''massive'''.

* [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E2TheShakespeareCode "The Shakespeare Code"]]: At the end, Queen Elizabeth I shows up, recognizes the Doctor, declares that he's her "sworn enemy", and sends the guards after him, forcing him and Martha to leg it back to the TARDIS.
