* AbhorrentAdmirer: The Doctor wreaks terrible and vicious revenge on Falsh by brainwashing a fishman to fall in love with him.
* AlwaysCamp: Halcyon, a ''decoratiste'', who's a huge ham and wears various really outlandish outfits. Plus he gets rather flirty with Fitz.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The space slugs cause people to start mindlessly attacking each other.
* ClosedCircle: The Doctor needs mercury to repair the TARDIS's fluid links. Until he finds some, he and his companions are pretty much stuck going along with things.

* EarthThatUsedToBeBetter
-->‘Earth’s mined out. Stripped down. Washed up. We all buggered off and left the leftovers to the Third World lot. They’re living pretty much the same as they always have done.’
