Line 11:
* [[Badass Bandolier]]: Pex wears one. [[I Just Want to Be Badass|It doesn't help]].
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Subverted by Pex, who has a habit of showing up and trying to save the day (usually with a fair bit of property damage involved) even when there's no danger whatsoever. He successfully manages to pull the trope off later in the story, just in time to save Mel from Tilda.
* [[Bland -Name Product]]: Fizzade
* [[Book Ends]]: The Doctor begins and ends the serial politely doffing his hat to what appears to be some kind of disused water pipe.
{{quote| '''Melanie:''' No, Doctor.<br />
Line 44:
* [[Strange Salute]]: the Kang's elaborate "how do you do" ritual, which looks like a [[Shout Out]] to the video to Adam and the Ants' "Prince Charming". And the Caretakers' salute, which is the British playground "put your finger under your nose like a moustache to allude to Adolf Hitler" gesture.
* [[Teenage Wasteland]]
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Political?]]: as usual during this era, there are political subtexts, but [[Word of God]] has specifically denied fan theories that the red, blue and yellow Kangs were a reference to the colours of the UK's three major political parties at the time.
* [[Whole -Plot Reference]]: acknowleged inspiration from the novel ''High Rise'' by [[JG Ballard]].
