* AluminiumChristmasTrees: While the main plot about stealing the ''Art/MonaLisa'' and peddling a bunch of forgeries off as the real deal might just sound like one of the many fantastical lighthearted plotlines from the Creator/GrahamWilliams era of ''Doctor Who'', such a scheme was [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_de_Valfierno actually attempted]] in 1911, albeit without any involvement from one-eyed aliens.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Duggan. The fact that he was never made a companion is lamented by many.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Duggan.Duggan quickly became popular for his characterization as an impulsive, yet capable Literature/BulldogDrummond parody who bounces off of the snarky intellectual Romana and the ever-Doctory Doctor quite well. The fact that he was never made a companion is lamented by many.



** The ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' finale "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E24AllGoodThings All Good Things...]]" saw life on Earth get stopped by a NegativeSpaceWedgie - ''and Q shows Picard this by taking him to Paris 4 Billion Years ago!''

* VindicatedByHistory: Despite drawing the highest ratings of the Classic Series and getting generally good reception, this episode was dubbed "over-rated" and "smug" by some fans-turned-creators like John Peel and Gary Russell, [[ComedyGhetto who hated the idea of "funny"]] ''Doctor Who'' and accused it of turning the series into {{Farce}}. Nowadays, it's one of the most beloved Classic serials and frequently makes top ten lists. Creator/StevenMoffat and Gareth Roberts are huge fans, and Website/{{Fourchan}}'s perennial ''Doctor Who'' discussion thread "/who/" even voted it the best ''Doctor Who'' TV story ever.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: The main villain was originally called Sephiroth, with other characters named after the individual Sephiroth also appearing and representing aspects of him. None of this has anything to do with the plot, which was probably why those characters were excised and the character was renamed Scaroth in the final version.

And it's probably for the better that they didn't use the name Sephiroth, unless if they wanted to be the butt of many jokes once a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII very famous video game]] came out.

** The name of the Jagaroth ship, Sephiroth, was Scaroth's original name. This name change likely saved him from confusion with a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII much more famous villain]] later on down the line.
