* HarsherInHindsight: Winstanley tells Jo, "While there's life there's hope, right?", when the faintly alive Doctor is being thawed out in Episode Two.

** At a meeting with the locals, the Master asks one of them if he's worried about whether he'll be able to balance the Post Office books in time. Between 1999 and 2015, and became widespread knowledge in 2024 after the mini-series ''Mr Bates Vs The Post Office'', almost a thousand sub postmasters and mistresses were unable to balance their books due to faulty software, some of whom were imprisoned as a result.

* BrokenBase: The story's standing in fandom has varied over time. In TheSeventies and TheEighties, it was often held up as an all-time classic. But during TheNineties, there was brief phase when the Creator/JonPertwee era underwent a hatedom and this was a particular target. There are reports of games played where tapes of it were thrown as far as possible while competitors shouted favourite phrases abound. Current fan consensus places it somewhere in between.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Though it was filmed in the days when both technology and budget were pathetic, the producers worked wonders with just a few clever camera tricks (filters, angles and some judicious shaking). The gargoyle costume was astonishingly realistic, and for once the revealed monster (Azal) ''exceeded'' expectations. The model church which was blown up at the end was so realistic a number of people complained to Creator/TheBBC, thinking they had blown up an actual building.

HoYay: Everyone merrily joins in the DancePartyEnding and the local witch makes sure to point out that it's a ''fertility'' dance. Hearing that, Captain Yates asks the Brigadier: "Fancy a dance, sir?" ("Kind of you Captain... I think I'd rather have a pint.") The "Making of" segment of the DVD has Creator/NicholasCourtney pretty much confirm (as quoted by Creator/KatyManning) what we were already thinking -- "The Brig's an alcoholic and Mike Yates is gay!". According to the ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'', Mike eventually ends up with a guy.
