Trivia:

Several lines of dialogue serve to not only address potential continuity errors (such as why the Fifth Doctor looks considerably older), but also to answer long-standing fan concerns such as why the interior of the TARDIS changed considerably between the 1963-89 series, the 1996 TV movie, and the 2005-present revival. (In the case of the latter, it is revealed that that interior appearance of the TARDIS is akin to a "desktop theme" which can be changed).

Quotes:

Tenth Doctor: [excited about meeting his past self] Oh there it goes! The frowny face! I remember that one! Mind you, a bit saggier than I ought to be. Hair's a bit greyer. That's 'cause of me, though. Two of us together has shorted out the time differential. Should all snap back into place when we get you home. You'll never close that coat again but never mind that! Look at you! The hat, the coat, the crickety cricket stuff, the stick of celery...

I loved being you!

This short adventure featuring two doctors was absolutely amazing, it had such an epic feel and I felt I had died and gone to heaven. When the new series started I began getting DVD's of the classic series and Peter Davison's stories such as Earthshock and The Caves Of Androzani were great and proved how good a doctor he was. So to have Peter Davison and possibly the best Doctor of them all David Tennant together was magical. The story also gets the chance to pay homage to Peter Davison and what he did as the character all those years ago, this story leaves everyone smiling and feeling nostalgic but it also leaves the question 'Will the doctor meet any of his selves again?' based on the quality of this short story, I sincerely hope so. Doctor Who is still as strong as ever!
