* HollywoodVoodoo: ''White Darkness'' uses spelling as a distinguishing feature: American soldiers who don't know what they're talking about refer to "voodoo" and "zombies", native Haitians and the Doctor talk of "vodoun" and "zombi". Mind you, despite the author [[ShownTheirWork Showing His Work]] there's still an evil voudon priest who actually worships the [[EldritchAbomination Great Old Ones]]...



* IntercontinuityCrossover: ''White Darkness'' has the Doctor meets the Franchise/CthulhuMythos.

Removed: 2067



* CircuitJudge: The Adjudicator in ''Lucifer Rising''.



* ExplosiveDecompression: In ''Lucifer Rising'', a man explodes into [[SpaceIsCold pink snow]] when he can't fully close his helmet before the SpaceElevator he's in ruptures.



* HistoricalBeautyUpgrade: In-universe. In ''Lucifer Rising'', a historical drama about [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E5TheSeedsOfDeath the Ice Warrior invasion of 2090]] features a "handsome young museum curator", who is presumably meant to be [[http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Daniel_Eldred this guy]].



* RashomonStyle: The murder investigation in ''Lucifer Rising''. The murder occurred in a facility with a futuristic surveillance system that makes only a basic record of what happens, relying on computer extrapolation to fill in the details when it's played back. It becomes both sides of a Rashomon Style dispute about what really happened in a certain conversation, producing two different extrapolations in which the speakers perform the same actions and say the same words, but the ''way'' they do it makes the difference between the version where one speaker was trying to help the other and the version where he was deliberately making matters worse.



* TokenRomance: ShowWithinAShow version, in ''Lucifer Rising''. Benny watches a holodrama based on the events of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E5TheSeedsOfDeath The Seeds of Death]]". This has grafted on a romance between Professor Eldred (who has become thirty years younger) and Gia (TheSpock).



* ATrueStoryInMyUniverse: ''Lucifer Rising'' mentions a holodrama [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory Very Loosely Based On]] the events of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E5TheSeedsOfDeath The Seeds of Death]]", with no mention of the Doctor and his companions, and a TokenRomance grafted on.



* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: In-universe in ''Lucifer Rising''; there's a reference to a holodrama based on "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E5TheSeedsOfDeath The Seeds of Death]]" which is only recognisable by the character names, awash with AdaptationalAttractiveness and TokenRomance, and doesn't mention the Doctor's involvement at all.


* {{Arcadia}}: ''Deceit'' mentions a human colony named Arcadia which was designed to embody the trope.



* {{Crossover}}: Abslom Daak, the Dalek Killer from the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comics, appeared in ''Deceit''. (As a rule, NA characters used to appear in ''DWM'' rather than the reverse.)
