Line 14: ''Silver Nemesis'' was promoted as the show's 25th anniversary special; the first episode of the serial aired on the anniversary itself. === Tropes === * [[Celebrity Star]]: jazz musician Courtney Pine and his band. * [[Chekhov's Gun]]: the chess set in Lady Peinforte's house, and the question of who is moving the pieces. Line 21: * [[Creator Cameo]]: a number of contemporary and past ''[[Doctor Who]]'' cast and crew play the tourists at Windsor Castle. * [[Deleted Scene]]: A special-edition VHS release and the DVD provided deleted scenes which helped make a bit more sense out of things. * [[Doing inIn the Wizard]]: Taken on its own, this episode appears to claim that Lady Peinforte's powers are literal magic, making it the only Original Series episode to allow such a thing rather than [[Magic by Any Other Name\|handwaving it somehow]] ("[[Doctor Who/Recap/S26/E01 Battlefield\|Battlefield]]" doesn't really count, because the Arthurian characters are visitors from another universe with different physical laws). However, a throwaway line in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S26/E03 The Curse of Fenric\|The Curse Of Fenric]]" establishes that, in fact, Lady Peinforte got her powers from Fenric. [[Author's Saving Throw\|So there.]] * [[Exit, Pursued by a Bear]]: [[Lampshade Hanging\|Lampshaded.]] {{quote\|'''Lady Peinforte''': The bear will not pursue us. Such things only happen in the theatre.}} * [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Richard spends most of his time in the future panicking about every single thing he comes across. It helps his [[Heel Face Turn]] towards the end, when he's just so happy that the Doctor can take him home that he resolves to change his ways. * [[Foreshadowing]]: Part of the plot involves breaking into the Peinforte family ~~tomb -- where~~tomb—where Richard, already a bit jumpy having come across his own gravestone, notes that there doesn't seem to be any sign of Lady Peinforte's body. She's too obsessed and blinkered for it to really register, because if it had then certain ominous implications for her future might have presented themselves... * [[Gambit Pileup]]: Between the Doctor, Lady Peinforte, the Neo-Nazis, and the Cybermen. * [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: In the first episode, the Doctor is briefly seen wearing a fez and holding a mop. Guess what article of clothing his Eleventh incarnation really liked?
