The casual viewer might be forgiven for assuming that he's ingested the wrong substances and is hallucinating a ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[Big Brother]]'' crossover, but no -- the Doctor really ''has'' landed in the ''[[Big Brother]]'' house. Of the 2002nd century. He's as confused about it as the casual viewer.
Line 7:
Rose, meanwhile, has ended up in a futuristic ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[The Weakest Link]]'' crossover; and Jack Harkness in a ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[What Not to Wear]]'' crossover staffed by naked robots (whom Jack flirts with). The casual viewer may be forgiven for thinking that this is all rather ''strange''...
But no: it's a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]. All three have in fact landed in the Game Station, which [[Doctor Who
The Doctor and Jack escape from their crossovers; the Doctor by realizing he's [[Plot Armor|too important for the system to kill]], and Jack by... well, let's not dwell on where he pulled that gun from. The Doctor also takes a girl named Lynda along as a future companion. They all rejoin ''[[Doctor Who]]'', but Rose is still stuck inside her game, and she's losing. In fact, [[Mood Whiplash|she's lost, and the host robot vaporizes her]]. [[Christopher Eccleston]] conveys more hurt and loss with his eyes than most actors can even on a [[Chewing the Scenery|steady diet of scenery]].
Line 41:
'''Rose''': Yes Doctor?<br />
'''The Doctor''': I'm coming to get you. }}

* [[Come with Me If You Want to Live]]: The Doctor to Lynda after he breaks out of the Big Brother room.
* [[Deadly Game]]: Just about all the game shows in the episode except that the "disintegrator ray" is actually a teleporter. Not that it's much better than getting disintegrated when they're being processed into Daleks.
Line 51:
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: The Defabricator. Invoked by name by Jack.
* [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]: "Oh, my masters. You can kill me...for I've brought your destruction."
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Why, two hundred thousand years in the future, are there recreations of ''game shows'' from ''one specific time period''? Simple: they pulled them out of Adam's mind [[Doctor Who
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: The Doctor after Rose (apparently) gets disintegrated. He snaps out of it in time to lead a jailbreak.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: The Controller, who gives the Doctor the last few numbers in the Daleks' co-ordinates even though the solar flares are no longer blocking transmissions. The Daleks promptly transmat her aboard and shoot her dead, but she's satisfied.
Line 65:
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The Big Brother eviction.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The Doctor's [[Badass Boast]] above sounds similar to [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe]] character Abslon Daak's [[Catch Phrase]], "I'm gonna kill every last stinking Dalek in the galaxy!"
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Turns out shutting down Satellite Five in "[[Doctor Who
* [[The Nudifier]]: De-fabricator, which does [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. "Ladies, your viewing figures just went up!"

{{quote|"Oh my God, ''now'' we're in trouble. Clear the floor! He's on his way up here - with a GUN!"}}
** Even before the viewer sees the Daleks, we get to hear several beats of the loud electronic heartbeat that is associated with their ships.
Line 81:
* [[Separated by a Common Language]]: ...wait, why is the ''American'' calling a tank top a "vest"?
* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: The reveal of the Daleks appears in this episode's trailer.
* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]: The mysterious transmat
* [[Title Drop]]: For the episode, and also for [[Doctor Who
