History Recap / DoctorWhoS27E12BadWolf

** During Rose's flashback to all the times Bad Wolf Cropped up, the footage is overlain over footage of the Time Vortex, next episode [[spoiler:it is revealed that Rose herself is responsible for seeding the words through time, after being empowered by the time vortex after looking into the heart of the TARDIS]].

* AdamWesting: Anne Droid, Trin-E, Zu-Zana, and the Davinadroid, the Killer Robot hosts of the 200,100 versions of ''Series/TheWeakestLink'', ''Series/WhatNotToWear'', and ''Series/BigBrother'' were respectively voiced by... Anne Robinson, host of ''The Weakest Link'', Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine, the co-hosts of ''What Not to Wear'', and Davina [=McCall=], host of ''Big Brother''.

* CrapsackWorld: Earth 200,100 has seen much better days. The exact specifics aren't given, but the last hundred years were "hell", and by now the planet's atmosphere is a sickly brown. The Atlantic is covered by a massive smogstorm that won't go away, with people getting the occasional notice of when it's okay to go outside. The Gamestation owners have so much control over the population they can sentence people to life imprisonment without trial or parole. The only thing to do is watch TV and pray to God you're not on the invite list.

->[[AC:You are live on channel forty four thousand. Please do not swear.]]

* DoesNotLikeShoes: The other contestant besides Lynda has no shoes on, which is a thing that tends to happen on the actual ''Big Brother'' when contestants make themselves at home, adding to the authenticity of the parody.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: While on ''Series/BigBrother'', when one of the contestants is voted out of the house and everyone is tearfully bidding her good-bye, the Doctor tells them not get so worked up as she'll be famous the following day. Upon seeing the contestant step outside into the hall where she's disintegrated, the Doctor realizes that [[AndYouThoughtItWasAGame this isn't a normal television show he's on]].

Proving him right, the Daleks panic en masse — their oldest and greatest enemy has found them, right on the verge of their return, and the time for subtle manipulation is over. Rose can only watch as the entire legion rises to invade Earth, screaming their one, true war cry: [[AC: EXTERMINATE!]]

-->'''Dalek:''' [[AC: But you have no weapons, no defences, no plan!]]

Also the one in which Creator/ChristopherEccleston ''eats all the scenery in glorious rage!''

-->-- The Doctor

The one where Jack gets naked.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: One of the contestants on ''The Weakest Link'' snaps and tries to escape after just one round. He almost makes it to the door before the Anne-Droid blasts him.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Turns out shutting down Satellite Five in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E7TheLongGame The Long Game]]" simply created a power vacuum, which gave rise to an even worse television-based regime as opposed to reinstating the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: While on ''Series/BigBrother'', when one of the contestants is voted out of the house and everyone is tearfully bidding her good-bye, the Doctor tells them not get so worked up as she'll be famous the following day. Upon seeing the contestant step outside into the hall where she's disintegrated, the Doctor realizes that [[AndYouThoughtItWasJustAGame this isn't a normal television show he's on]].

* YouDoNOTWantToKnow: Jack's response when the makeover droids ask where he got his gun from:

The Doctor, Jack and Lynda (with whom Jack flirts) are informed that they will be taken to the Lunar Penal Colony to be held without trial or appeal. They respond by breaking out in five seconds and making their way to floor 500 — ''still'' not made of gold — where the Doctor demands to know who's in charge and who just killed his friend. Unfortunately, the Controller — the human supercomputer in charge of the satellite, who was installed at the age of ''5'' — can only communicate with members of staff. One such staff member (with whom Jack flirts), however, has been keeping a log of mysterious encrypted signals and unauthorised transmissions, and he agrees with the Doctor's theory that this whole operation is just a cover for something else.

Also the one in which Christopher Eccleston ''eats all the scenery in glorious rage!''

->''"[Jack] pulls a gun out of his ass and shoots them. ''[{{beat}}]'' [[NotHyperbole No, really,]] he pulls ''a gun'' out of ''his ass'' and ''shoots them''. I so wish Mary Whitehouse was still alive to see this; her head would pop off, spin around three times and land on her neck upside-down again."''

* GoOutWithASmile: The Controller. ''[[http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110623130043/tardis/images/thumb/a/a3/DW20051x09BadWolf517.jpg/250px-DW20051x09BadWolf517.jpg LOOK AT IT.]]''

* HypocriticalHumour: The Doctor, on reality TV. "The human race. Brainless sheep, being fed on a diet of– mind you, have they still got that program where three people have to live with a bear?"
