I ’m afraid I should have controlled it better than that , frankly , but I do like make a few back references . But I ’m always very careful about it because if you ’ve never seen the show , they still shape .
I mean , just the fact that he likes fish fingers and custard is fine . If one day you ’ve become so enthralled byDoctor Whoyou go and check the old ones , you ’ll see , yep , he really does .

These admit the devices seen across the battleground being production from the smithy of Villengard ( first advert in " The Doctor Dances " ) , thefully militarized Christian church sects , and the Fifteenth Doctor calming himself by call in an dangerous undertaking first revealed by Missy ( Michelle Gomez ) during Peter Capaldi ’s era .

Despite the clearly specify , somewhat misanthropic thematic commentary , Moffat ’s script is also promising , as a father ’s love is able to save the twenty-four hours and lend the fucking battle to an end , and the Doctor , even under incredible duress , perseveres with nothing but hope in his heart .

Despite the strange food combining , Pisces finger and custard is a belovedDoctor Whomoment to this twenty-four hour period . Not only is it a eccentric - delineate moment for the Eleventh Doctor that showcased his off - beat , good - hearted nature , but it would be used as a polar radio link between him and companion Amy Pond ( Karen Gillan ) for many years . As such , Gatwa ’s Doctor ’s callback is a heartwarming reversion to a darling Moffat contribution .
