* Holmes' final story, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS23E4TheUltimateFoe "The Ultimate Foe"]], repeats the plot of his earlier story [[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E3TheDeadlyAssassin "The Deadly Assassin"]]: The Doctor has been brought to Gallifrey and is put on a sham trial for a crime he didn't commit, which turns out to be the result of a renegade Time Lord with a personal connection to him tampering with the seemingly infallible Matrix and conspiring with Gallifreyan politicians to achieve power and prolong his life (the Valeyard acting as a CompositeCharacter of both Chancellor Goth and the Peter Pratt version of the Master). The Doctor chases him into the Matrix, where, despite being at a huge disadvantage, he defeats him in a battle of wits and walks away a free man, but not before the renegade escapes and sneaks off to cause more mayhem.

* Creator/ChrisChibnall recycles [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E2PlanetOfEvil "Planet of Evil]] in his first new series script, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E742 "42"]]. Like Planet of Evil, it involves the crew of a spaceship mining a sentient body for a fuel source. The celestial body wants it back, and possesses people in order to sabotage the ship. Only difference? The Doctor is possessed too.
