* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The plot is so fast-paced it can be hard to tell what is even happening and the special is filled to the brim with bizarre and nonsensical special effects, including floating CGI heads of the First and Second Doctors. You can't help but wonder if the entire production team was smoking something.

** The Seventh Doctor's line "I-- I mean, ''we''-- are difficult to get rid of" was more true than he knew. ''Doctor Who'' would soldier on through the "Wilderness Years" in the books, then the disastrous '96 TV Movie, then bringing the old cast back for new adventures [[Audioplay/BigFinishDoctorWho in audio format]], before finally coming back as a storming success in 2005. Seems not even the real world can get rid of the Doctor!

** If it weren't for the fact that this was recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio and on analogue videotape, one ''can'' see that the scenes set in 2013 are weirdly prescient as not being as futuristic as the production tried to make it out to be when made in 1993 (despite the effort to make "sleek" the digitally-added train that one can see passing on the background overbridge/overpass in one shot). The only things that are missing/weren't thought-of is cell phones and the abundance of them in public, and the idea that we would be talking about past culture as if it had happened last week. Plus, there were ''indeed'' comebacks of certain late-century popular culture in the New '10s.

** Just before the start, there is a brief segment of Creator/JonPertwee (as the Doctor) visiting Noel Edmonds; the Doctor tells Edmonds that he's seen him in year 2010. In 2010, Edmunds was still on television and presenting (among other things) ''Series/DealOrNoDeal'', the Doctor's answers to Noel asking if he does serious programming ("I don't visit fantasy land!") is another point to consider here. Even funnier considering how Edmonds takes his relatively low-brow daytime gameshow as SeriousBusiness.

* HeAlsoDid: Director Stuart [=McDonald=] was assigned to the story because he also directed the ''Children in Need'' telethon. It was his only time directing fiction of any kind; his other credits include ''Series/TomorrowsWorld'', ''Series/CrimewatchUK'' and the original incarnation of ''Series/RobotWars'' (for which he also provided the memorable voiceovers introducing the robots).
