This serial is significant in a rather surprising way. Despite the "celebrity historical" being a regular feature of the revived series that happens at least [[OnceASeason twice every season]], George Stephenson was first real historical personality to appear in the series since the various Dodge City figures in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E8TheGunfighters "The Gunfighters"]] all the way back in 1966[[note]]Well... Gray the solicitor in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E4TheHighlanders "The Highlanders"]] was a historical figure too, but a long way from "celebrity", being basically an original character attached to an extremely minor historical figure. And King John showed up in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E6TheKingsDemons "The King's Demons"]] but of course it wasn't the ''real'' King John.[[/note]]. This story was also the first to mix a real historical celebrity into an aliens'n'monsters plot, an idea so obvious it's surprising to realise [[NewerThanTheyThink they only started doing it in 1985]].

The Master and the Rani continue their labyrinthine, overcomplicated plan. They utilize [[StuffBlowingUp tree mines]] (because the Rani has clearly read the EvilOverlordList and knows mines are the sneakily evil way to go), [[EvilLaugh evil laughs]] done in counterpoint, and the ever-popular [[KansasCityShuffle "distract the dumb American with your weapon of choice and knock her out"]] ploy, but the Master's [[FatalFlaw stupid obsession with trying to kill the Doctor]] overrides the Rani's common sense. His pride gets them trapped in her TARDIS, which has been futzed-with by the Doctor to send them to the end of the universe with a rapidly-growing T-Rex embryo (because [[RuleOfCool everything's cooler with dinosaurs]]). The Rani is ''not'' pleased, and gives the Master a [[GroinAttack knee to the bollocks]] for his trouble, but unfortunately, is still stuck with him in a runaway TARDIS. At the end of the day, she's just not very good at her job.
