 * The age-regression gun reverses the Doctor's local time field and temporarily "retro-regenerates" him back into his previous incarnation. The Fourth Doctor suffered a similar effect after encountering a Space amoeba. (COMIC: Timeslip) The Sixth Doctor also suffered a regression to all his previous regenerations. (PROSE: State of Change)

(TV: The Stolen Earth) His eleventh incarnation determined that he did indeed lose a regeneration during the Dalek invasion of 2009. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)
 * The Doctor tells Vivian that "everything has its time." (TV: The End of the World) However, she argues that when his time comes, he won't want to go. (TV: The End of Time)
 * One of the items being sold at the auction is the "hairdryer" from Henry Van Statten's collection. (TV: Dalek)
