** In another nod to "Genesis", Ratcliffe's little stamp of the heels when meeting the headmaster echoes the Kaled salute, memorably done by Nyder.

Changing it as that trope is used for characters outside of the show, and UNIT does exists in the show.


* {{Expy}}: The military characters are basically mirrors of the main characters in the UNIT years of the early 1970s. Group Captain Gilmore is Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (strait-laced military officer with a prominent moustache), Rachel is Liz Shaw (cool-headed and intelligent scientist who was drafted in without being given a choice), Alison is Jo Grant (irreverent and inexperienced assistant), and Mike Smith is a combination of Captain Yates and Sergeant Benton (well-liked and down-to-earth lower-ranking soldier who ends up betraying his colleagues). The reference is made explicit at one point when the Doctor, during an argument, accidentally refers to Gilmore as "Brigadier".

At one point a Special Weapons Dalek, which is just a cannon mounted on a Dalek casing, shows up and obliterates a bunch of Renegades. After the Imperials capture the Hand from the Renegades, the Doctor confronts the Emperor Dalek... who turns out to be Davros. This is only surprising if you haven't watched [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E6RevelationOfTheDaleks the previous Dalek serial, which has him in charge of the Imperials]]. The Doctor tricks Davros into using the Hand to destroy Skaro and his own spaceship, literally talks the last Renegade Dalek to death, and calls it a day -- he ''also'' takes the mickey out of Davros by using rice pudding! Davros himself runs off in an escape pod, but we won't be seeing him again for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E12TheStolenEarth a good while]].
