----
== Tropes: ==
* [[Affably Evil]] / [[Benevolent Boss]]: Yvonne "If it's alien, it's ours" Hartman takes care to remember the names of her employees and doesn't bat an eye at office romances ("And they think we haven't noticed").
* [[An Astral Projection, Not a Ghost]]: The "ghosts" are actually Cybermen trying to break through from Pete's World.
* [[BFG]]
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: No, Jackie, the Doctor does not think dead relatives coming back is beautiful. In fact, it's horrific.
Line 26:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The Gelth from "The Unquiet Dead" are mentioned as a possible explanation for the ghosts.
* [[Dead Line News]]: "They're not ghosts! They're metal men-AAAGH!"
* [[Doing inIn the Wizard]] Humans are convinced that their loved ones are returning as ghosts. The Doctor is convinced there's a scientific explanation. Of course, the Doctor is right.
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Cybermen versus Daleks.
* [[The Exit Is That Way]]: "''No'', Doctor!"
* [[Foreshadowing]]: The Doctor thinks that departed loved ones returning to Earth is horrific. We find out why in "The End of Time".
* [[It Got Worse]]: Okay, there's an army of five million Cybermen spread across the whole world. What next?
* [[It Was His Sled]]: See the picture up there? It's a massive [[Spoiler]]. The production team kept the fact the Daleks were in this series a huge secret, and when they turned up it was a massive shock .<ref>Well, mostly. For some reason, a clip of someone getting shot by a Dalek gun from ''Doomsday'' turned up in the Next Time trailer for this episode at the end of Fear Her. So some people worked it out. But it was meant to be a surprise</ref>. These days, this two-parter is generally known for being Daleks v Cybermen.
* [[I Will Show You X]]:
{{quote|'''Doctor:''' Lead on. But not too fast. Her ankle's going.
Line 43:
{{quote|'''Yvonne''': They're invading the whole planet.
'''Doctor''': It's not an invasion, it's too late for that. It's a victory. }}
* [[NoWon't SellWork On Me]]: Rose discovers that the agents of Torchwood have enough psychic training to resist the Doctor's psychic paper.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Played for laughs when the Doctor realises Jackie is still on-board. Played straight when he realises the Cybermen didn't make the Void Ship, and when Rose and Mickey find out who's inside.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: Series 3 co-star [[Freema Agyeman]] shows up as [[Retcon|Martha's strangely-identical cousin]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: To [[Ghostbusters]], appropriately enough.
