* CrapsaccharineWorld: As Pete describes, his world's version of Britain is experiencing a GoldenAge with Harriet Jones as president. However, thanks to the breach, global temperatures have risen by two degrees in less than ''six months;'' the ice caps are melting, and London is going to be flooded if they don't close it.

* ArtisticLicenceLinguistics: According to Norwegian-speaking viewers, "Bad Wolf Bay" as a translation of "Dårlig Ulv Stranden" is a stretch. "Dårlig" means "Bad", but either means "bad" in the sense of being "poor in quality" or "feeling bad, as in being sick", rather than morally bad. "Stranden" is also closer to "beach" or "sea-coast" than "bay". A strictly literal translation of "Dårlig Ulv Stranden" would be "The Poor Wolf Beach". The choice of words, however, and the episode's own {{Lampshading}} thereof, clearly indicate that the name was chosen mostly for its pun potential. "Dårlig" was clearly used because it sounds like "Dalek", and "Stranden" probably because it sounds like "stranded", which Rose was. It is unknown why they didn't translate it as "Bad Wolf Beach", since that still has the same [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal alliterative appeal]], but they may have thought that "Bad Wolf Bay" sounded more poetic. A closer translation to "Bad Wolf Bay" the way it was intended would be "Stygg Ulv-Bukten".

* BigBad: Dalek Sec.

** This mantra is how she's still recognizable after being Cyber-converted when she prevents the Cyber-Leader from escaping into the Void.

'''Dalek Sec:''' Daleks have no concept of ''elegance!''\\

JustForFun/{{The one w|ith}}here the Daleks and Cybermen have a sass-off, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E7TheWheelInSpace 38 years]] [[WhatCouldHaveBeen overdue]]. And the one where the Doctor experiences a companion's departure for the first time in a long time.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Knowing the Daleks will almost certainly kill her when she is no longer of use to them whether or not she complies with their demand to open the Genesis Ark, Rose takes the time to rub in the fact that she (whilst possessed by the Bad Wolf entity) destroyed the Dalek Emperor and his fleet, laughing in Dalek Sec's face as she does. [[AcceptableTargets It being the Daleks,]] it's pretty hard to sympathise.
