The subtle touches that provide links between episodes of Doctor Who, both old and new!

Doctor Who loves making callbacks to its own history. In the early days of NuWho, writers like Russell T Davies would reference episodes from the show's original run. This was done to provide a bit of fan service, and also to prove RTD's credentials as a massive nerd.
NuWho has now been around for so long that there are references to early modern episodes in some of the newer ones. 2005 was almost two decades ago, just to make everyone feel old.
Whether it's modern to classic, classic to classic, or modern to modern, some connections between episodes are obvious, while some take a little bit of work to figure out. Our original list on this subject (https://whatculture.com/tv/10-doctor-who-episodes-you-didn-t-know-were-connected) (video version below) already pointed out ten of these obscure links, but there are loads more scattered throughout Doctor Who history.
Whether it's a character visiting a location that was mentioned in passing years prior, old props reappearing, or ancient plotlines getting dragged back up, these ten pairs of episodes all have something in common.
These connections can be big, small, or absolutely minute, but they're all bags of fun to notice regardless!
