Line 71:
'''Headmaster:''' Don't you forget, boy, I've been a soldier. I was in [[Second Boer War|South Africa]], I used my dead mates as sandbags, I fought with the butt of my rifle when the bullets ran out, and I would go back there tomorrow ''[[Patriotic Fervor|for King and country!]]''<br />
'''Son of Mine:''' ''Etcetera, etcetera!'' }}
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: John Smith. Accompanied by a brief [[Heroic Blue Screen of Death]].

Line 78:
{{quote| ''He was braver than you, in the end — that ordinary man. You chose to change. He chose to die. … If the Doctor had never visited us, never chosen this place — ''on a whim'' — would anyone here have died?''}}
** Though the end of the episode shows that at least two people ''survived'' because of him, thanks to Latimer's knowledge of the future.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: ''The entire episode'' falls into this trope. Although {{spoiler|a descendant of Joan Redfern has written a book about John Smith and his Journal of Impossible Things}} in ''[[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S4 E17 E18 The End of Time|The End of Time]]'', the Family's attack on the village, from the disappearances to an ''aerial bombardment'', seem to have completely vanished from English history, as the show never mentions it again.
** A valid explanation is put forward in Series 5.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: {{spoiler|The Family certainly don't by the end.}}
