* [[IKEAWeaponry IKEA Robotics]]

to:

* [[IKEAWeaponry IKEA Robotics]]Robotics]]: In possibly the most hilariously literal way. Banto Zame and Mel have to go into an abandoned warehouse to find one of the Three Treasures. It's heavily implied that the warehouse was a factory for a Generiosian version of [=IKEA=] that had been taken over by the robots in a long-ago TurnedAgainstTheirMasters incident, and then spent their time designing and building ever-more-elaborate [=IKEA=]-style furniture, culminating in the Shelves of Infinity. They even include the little Allen wrenches needed to construct the dang things!

* {{Foreshadowing}} The second hidden track on the disc (the extended version of Mentos and The Questioner's game show) includes questions about the Intergalactic Song Competition and the Earth planetary anthem, Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive". Both of these figure as major plot points in Big Finish's next Panto episode, "Bang-Bang-a-Boom!"

* OlderThanTheyThink: The [=NuWho=] 2008 Christmas episode, "The Next Doctor", likewise featured a slightly pompus man claiming to be the Doctor. Unlike here though, ''that'' "Doctor" was a genuine case of mistaken identity and is still a real hero, while here, well... Zane's a bit of a git.
** Also, Series/DoctorWho crossing paths with Series/TheWeakestLink (or rather a show that's very much like it.)
