- Franchise Original Sin: This serial was partially responsible for adding the aspect of making the Doctor a God-like figure, which later became a stigma for the revival series as they used a lot of religious aspects of the Doctor being an allegory for Jesus.
- Fridge Horror: The skinheads are initally seen frantically struggling while hung upside-down, but are very much going limb when the Doctor and Ace find them. It's possible they might have died from the blood going to their heads if they weren't found.
- Harsher in Hindsight: The Seventh Doctor narrowly avoids being gunned down on his way back to the TARDIS. He would not be so lucky walking out of the TARDIS in San Francisco in the 1996 TV movie that would facilitate his regeneration into the Eighth Doctor.
- Hilarious in Hindsight:
- The Doctor is briefly seen wearing a fez and holding a mop... and not for the last time...
- A storyline involving Cybermen that controversially explores the Doctor's past, questioning whether everything we know about them is a lie and how powerful they really are to Time Lord society... who would've thought that this wouldn't be the last time this happens?
- Memetic Mutation: Thanks to Atop the Fourth Wall:Cyberman: Is this the human condition of madness, leader?
Cyber-Leader: It is. - Older Than They Think: Despite the image being popularly associated with the Eleventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy was the actually the first Doctor to wear a fez; Eleven donning one in "The Big Bang" was a homage to this story.
