* CreateYourOwnVillain: Cole's idea to wrap the planet's populace in iso-suits to protect them from temporal radiation ended up creating what can only be described as Dalek / Cyberman hybrids, which may go on to ravage the Web Of Time.
* DownOnTheFarm: Exploited. The inhabitants of the agrarian planet deliberately keep their lives as primitive as they can get away with so the Time War's combatants won't notice them.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Cole just wants to SaveTheWorld, or at least its inhabitants. Instead he creates a race of {{Absolute Xenophobe}}s who will eventually leave their world to seek revenge on those who destroyed it. Unable to find them, they'll turn their hatred on all alien life. Furthermore as Cole is a temporal anomaly because he didn't die on Acking this race he created is also an anomaly, so they'll have terrible effects on the Web of Time already weakened by the Time War.

* TheCityVsTheCountry: Discussed. Cole is a FishOutOfWater and is endlessly derided by the inhabitants whenever he tries to help them out by fixing their equipment. He himself bears no ill will toward them, but they spend the first half of the audio prickly-at-best toward him. Elidh explains this away as them being averse to change, which is understandable given how deliberate their simplicity is.

Not this trope. NEH is for when something 'SHOULD realistically have causalities, but doesn't. This story is all about an event that DOES have lots of causalities and would have killed everyone on the planet.

* TheImmune: Cole doesn't get sick with everyone else, which he puts down to his survival suit but is more likely because of him being a temporal paradox due to the events of the previous episode.
