A light-hearted [[Breather Episode]] with very little drama, written as a contrast to [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S4 E10 Midnight|"Midnight"]].
Line 24:
* [[Big Red Button]]: Turns off the security grid on the Tritovore's crystal shaft.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Christina's response to the Doctor's catchprase.
{{quote|
'''Christina''': Oui, mais pas si nous allons vers un chauchemar! (Yes, but not if we go towards a nightmare!) }}
* [[Bilingual Dialogue]]: The Doctor speaks insect click language with the Tritovores. Once the Tritovores employ their one-way telepathic translators, the Doctor uses English and they continue in their language.
* [[Breather Episode]]
* [[Buffy-Speak]]:

** and [[More Dakka]] returns as UNIT's [[Five Rounds Rapid|SOP]]
* [[Insectoid Aliens]]: The Tritovores.

{{quote|
* [[Lady of Adventure]]: Lady Christina de Souza.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: The Doctor points out how uncommon it is for him to arrive on Earth during Easter time, which lampshades that there are no Easter specials compared to the annual Christmas specials.
Line 66:
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Carmen's uses her psychic gift of precognition to play the Lottery and win £10 twice a week, ''every'' week.
* [[Not So Different]]: The Doctor admits as such when he realises Christina is a thief.
{{quote|
'''Doctor''': Absolutely! (pauses) Except... that little blue box... I stole it. From my own people.
'''Christina''': Good boy! You were right, we're quite a team. }}
* [[Put on 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.
