* ContinuitySnarl: Shakespeare appears a few more times in ''Doctor Who'' stories set after this where he's clearly not actually Richard but the real deal, most obviously in [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS3E2TheShakespeareCode "The Shakespeare Code"]]. Let's just say Will got [[HandWave swapped back in]] at some stage in between.

Added DiffLines:

* ArcWords: "The story changes, the ending remains the same." Spoken first by Peri, who is then informed by the Doctor that the phrase is the motto of the Celestial Investigation Agency, referring to their policy of trying to nudge history back onto its proper course by whatever means necessary, even if those means are concocting the events yourself to make sure that history stays consistent. Later spoken by Richard himself as an unintentional IronicEcho to The Doctor to explain his ScrewDestiny stance.

* ICantBelieveImSayingThis: Peri says the trope word for word when she realizes, to her horror, that she and Erimem would be best served signing on as serving wenches at [[WretchedHive Clarrie's tavern]]
--> '''Peri''': ''(having just learned that The Doctor is two years ahead of them and can't get them, so they're going to have to go TheSlowPath to reach him)'' Great. So what are we supposed to do in the meantime to keep out of history's way?
--> '''Erimem'': There's more writing on the other side.
--> '''Peri''': ''(reading)'' "P.P.S: Far be it from me to tempt fate at all, but the Clarrie in my time zone says you two were the best serving wenches he'd ever had." [[OhCrap Oh, no]]. [[AnythingButThat No, please, anywhere but here]]!
--> '''Erimem''': At least it's safe. No one will think of looking for us in here.
--> '''Clarrie''': Are you saying you want to work here? In this disgusting, filth-stained, rat-infested hellhole?
--> '''Peri''': ICantBelieveImSayingThis, but... yes. Yes we do.

* MoralDissonance: Erimem to Peri. Erimem, who should be more of a FishOutOfTemporalWater than Peri, seems to adapt a lot better, and it leads to her accusing Peri of attempting to put hers onto others.

* NamedAfterTheInjury: The publican that the Doctor consults for information on the missing Peri and Erimem is known only as "One-Armed Clarrie," despite being in possession of two working arms. Turns out that Clarrie made the mistake of [[BerserkButton grabbing Erimem's backside]] back when they first met, prompting her to break his arm; even now that Clarrie has fully recovered, the nickname is too popular to get rid of.



** Several to ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'' Richard III mentioning “a wild stab in the dark” is probably the most explicit.
