12* CallBack: The TARDIS landing in a junkyard invokes the first story, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E1AnUnearthlyChild An Unearthly Child]], suitable for the first in a New Series. The Doctor also sees a painting of [[UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolution The French Revolution]] and says "That's not right", which Susan also said in the first episode when reading a book on the subject.

14* ContinuityNod: When [[spoiler:Repple]] says his appearance was changed and he was exiled to Earth the Doctor says he knows the feeling.
15%% * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Aske. Later one of the Mechanicals. Freddy tries this but Rose stops him.]]
16%% * TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilised [[spoiler:Repple]] claims this about the revolution on Katuria, saying they called him a tyrant to justify their actions. [[spoiler:Possibly subverted later, considering how ruthless Shade is.]]
17* RightfulKingReturns: What the characters are trying for Russia, as Freddy is apparently the rightful heir, and Dastaria, which Repple claims to be the deposed King of.
18%% * SmartPeoplePlayChess: The Doctor and Wyse.
19* TerribleTicking: Inverted. Everyone could hear the ticking ''except'' Repple [[spoiler: because he's the robot making the noise]].
20* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:Repple finding out he is not Shade Vassily but a clockwork robot.]]
