** The entire bit where the Doctor has to disguise himself to get into the offices, first as an incredibly boring milkman with a very strong accent, then as a Welsh cleaning lady, not to mention the fact that he ''looks perfectly at home disguised as a washer woman.''.

** After Ace, Warmsley and the Doctor discover a tunnel leading underground, the Doctor and Ace obviously decide to head inside, and he asks Warmsley to guard the door in case anyone tries to follow them. The archaeologist exasperatedly asks what he's supposed to do if anyone ''does'' come, lecture them on archaeology? The Doctor then pokes his head back out of the tunnel to deliver a sharp 'YES', before ducking back in, leaving Warmsley (and the audience) wondering if he was joking or not.

** The Doctor is captured by the Monk and locked in a cell, leading to a scene of the Monk very cautiously pushing a breakfast tray through the door for him (with eggs, toast and tea all included). He begins rudely shouting for the Doctor to come and get his breakfast already... only for the tea to be suddenly thrown through the hatch, soaking the Monk as the Doctor yells at him he'll get up when he's good and ready to get up. Even when captured, the Doctor is ''still'' in control.
