It just seems a cute plot trick at the time, but the lost hand manages to turn up and be a useful [[McGuffin]] at least three more times - until {{spoiler|the hand regrows itself a duplicate Doctor, who gets banished to a parallel world}}. This brick element spanned ''three series'' of [[Doctor Who]] and one of Torchwood.
