Line 41:
** The Doctor's comment about "humans on buses, always blaming me"; a reference to [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S4 E10 Midnight|"Midnight"]].
** The prophecy in this special saying that the Doctor's song will be ending soon echoes the Ood's words from the end of [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S4 E3 Planet of the Ood|"Planet of the Ood"]].
* [[Death Byby Materialism]]: The only human character to die is the bus driver, who, at the beginning of the episode, accepted a bribe to help a criminal escape a police cordon. <ref>He agreed to go faster when the criminal offers him her diamond earrings.</ref>(The criminal herself, whose motivation is explicitly stated to be non-materialistic love of adventure, survives.)
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: The Swarm.
* [[Fan Boy]]: Malcolm practically creams himself when the call from the Doctor comes. The Doctor is... put off.
Line 69:
'''Doctor''': Absolutely! (pauses) Except... that little blue box... I stole it. From my own people.<br />
'''Christina''': Good boy! You were right, we're quite a team. }}
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: A literal example! At the end of the episode, Lady Christina escapes from the police by flying off in the bus, and the character has not been seen since.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: The bus that was being shipped from Cardiff to Dubai was being unloaded at Dubai when someone dropped a cargo container on it. The damage was incorporated into the plot.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: "He is coming, [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S4 E17 E18 The End of Time|he will knock four times]]."
