17 The Rani The Time Lords love a posh title. Close The Doctor mentions "The Rani" in his expository monologue about the history of Gallifrey and the Time Lords. Played by Dynasty's Kate O'Mara, the Rani was the renegade Time Lord geneticist who menaced the Sixth and Seventh Doctors in The Mark of the Rani and Time and the Rani respectively. Every time a high profile actress is cast in Doctor Who, fans inevitably speculate that they'll be playing a regenerated Rani.

Close Doctor Who season 14, episodes 1 and 2 both feature appearances by actress Susan Twist, playing a mysterious character who appears to be following the Doctor and Ruby through time and space. The Fourteenth Doctor first met this character when she was Mrs Merridew, the housekeeper of Sir Isaac Newton in "Wild Blue Yonder".
Years later, in the first Doctor Who 60th anniversary special, Sylvia Noble slapped the Fourteenth Doctor to protect Donna from seeing his face. However, even after wrecking considerable chunks of her flat, Carla Sunday hasn't slapped the Fifteenth Doctor in the face yet. However, given that he's already secretly running TARDIS scans on Ruby, he may end up on the wrong side of Carla later in the series.
6 Cilla Black Doctor Who's other musical cameo has links to Jon Pertwee. Close Liverpool's other musical icon, Cilla Black also has connections to Doctor Who via Third Doctor actor Jon Pertwee. Both Pertwee and Cilla Black starred together in Little Red Riding Hood, a pantomime in 1965, two years after "The Devil's Chord" was set. Decades later, Cilla Black became a TV presenter in the UK, hosting shows like Blind Date and Surprise Surprise.
