 * The Eleventh Doctor and Amy received a phone call from Winston Churchill asking the Doctor to come to World War II era London. On arrival, they found the Daleks pretending to be mechanical soldiers known as "Ironsides" for the British.

 * As a result of time breaks, a British spitfire and a German Messerschmidt were transported roughly 50 years back in time and appeared in the sky over 1890s London where they continued their fight. This incident was witnessed by Jago, a native of that era, and Leela. One of the planes was severely damaged and its pilot parachuted out of the plane. Jago, having never previously seen either a "flying machine" or a parachute, suggested to Leela that he should hire the pilot to perform his "act" at the New Regency Theatre. (JAL: Chronoclasm)
 * In 1941, the Kiss the Boys Goodbye Dance at the Ritz in Cardiff was briefly interrupted by nearby bombings, forcing the attendants to take shelter. (TW: Captain Jack Harkness)
