* The Master dancing to Music/BoneyM[[labelnote:Explanation]] In Recap/DoctorWho2022CENThePowerOfTheDoctor The Master reveals that he's been impersonating ([[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy or has been all along]]) UsefulNotes/GrigoriRasputin and then starts dancing to Boney M.'s "Rasputin" while the Doctor, the Daleks, and the Cybermen all have the understandable WTF reaction.
