** In a [[BlackComedy darkly comedic way]], the episode's shot of the Slitheen ship hitting Big Ben, along with it's UsefulNotes/WarOnTerror themes, are incredibly similar [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xrfKg8WxNSw to a popular meme from late 2023 showing a similar event]].

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: That model of Big Ben being torn apart by a model of a Slitheen spaceship. Pictures of the act of building the clock face prove that the staff took a ''lot'' of time trying to build it just right. Somewhat downplayed when you realize they got the clock faces turned around the wrong way in the moment of truth, though this apparently wasn't the fault of the effects team -- the director supposedly told them that he'd film the approach shots as if the spaceship were approaching Big Ben from the south, only to instead film it approaching Big Ben from the ''north'', forcing them to flip the footage since it otherwise wouldn't have matched, and there was no time to redo it.

* {{Narm}}: General Asquith's death is meant to be a horrifying moment. Unfortunately, his death screams play out on a reaction shot of Harriet Jones, whose open-mouth expression of horror makes it look like ''she's'' the one screaming.

* NeverLiveItDown: This two-parter has some serious political satire, and emotional drama for the lead characters, but it is remembered primarily as "the one with farting aliens".

** The Doctor repeatedly refers to Mickey Smith as "Ricky". In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E5RiseOfTheCybermen Rise of the Cybermen]]", it is discovered that Ricky Smith is the alternative version of Mickey in Pete's World.

** The Doctor tries to talk his way out of the trouble he's in for "borrowing" Rose for a year instead of a day, saying he'd hired her as his "companion." Cue the immediate question about the nature of that relationship. Creator/BilliePiper would later star in ''Series/SecretDiaryOfACallGirl''.
