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 25:
{{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 -- wheretomb—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?
