!! "A Doctor in the House?" includes the following tropes:
* BondOneLiner: Doom has a tendency to make them.
* BookBurning: The "Church of Omitted Yesteryear" is a terrorist group that seeks to destroy past culture so that the future can innovate.
* ContinuityNod:
** In the Delgado Master's cameo at Stormcage, he is once again watching children's TV, in this case ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner''.
** Administrator Cire refers to Missy taking the Delgado Master away without proper procedure, in the previous miniseries.
* DeadlyForceField: Doom activates the forcefield barrier of Jaxxo's agent's cell to bisect him.
* FanConvention: The third section of the story takes place at a parody fan convention for far-future fans of Old Earth.
* HitmanWithAHeart: All the people Doom kills in the story are at least fairly nasty. And she destroys the Perpetual Topaz rather than let anybody use it.
* MacGuffin: The Perpetual Topez, a weapon of mass destruction in the form of a jewel.
* OmnicidalManiac: The nameless sole survivor of a nameless species, who is planning to randomly kill as many other people in the universe as possible.
* ShoutOut:
** At one point Missy calls Doom a "monocled murderer", referring to the 1986 BBC historical drama ''The Monocled Mutineer'' (which happened to be the first big TV success for former Doctor actor Creator/PaulMcGann).
** Missy claims to have "added the gruesome to [[Creator/TheBrothersGrimm the Grimms]]".
* VisualPun: Lord and Lady Prettypaw are New Earth cats. Who are burglars.
* WholeCostumeReference: Missy is wearing a version of the Mad Hatter's costume from ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''. And the story ends with a tea party.

* FunWithHomophones: In "Rhyme or Reason", the Doctor and Rose have to discuss how to defeat the Terileptils in front of them, without the TARDIS translator letting them know what they're up to. They get around it by talking to each other in homophones, which the Terileptils can't understand because their own language doesn't share the same homophones.

* PigLatin: In "Rhyme or Reason", Rose attempts to fool the Terileptils by talking to the Doctor about her plan in Pig Latin. Unfortunately the TARDIS translates it for them.
