Just wondering how many spotted Doctor Who in jokes/nods to the past used in the 50th from previous Doctor's/seasons?

And, of course, Hurt's ears comment that flows into Eccleston's ears comment in Rose.
Amy Pond in her black and white stripes, was immediately to the left of Clara, if I'm not mistaken.
By the way, as an American, I understand the sand shoes remark refers to his sneakers but is there some special British significance to using the phrase "sand shoes"?
Cap'n Jack had some line about him putting up shelves right back in his first story, which was also Moff's first writing for Who.
I thought it had to do with Captain Jack asking the 9th Doctor something about what he could do with a screwdriver and the 9th Doctor said something about putting up a shelf. I'm not sure, though.
Loved the way "I don't want to go" was also used in An Adventure In Space & Time"
The episode starting in Coal Hill School was another one
I'm confused though: is Foreman's Yard next door now? Why did Ian & Barbara need to drive?
Coal Hill School was the school that Ian and Barbara, the first companions, taught at.
The Chair of Governors for the school was actually Mr. I. Chesterton on the school board.
Clara rode her motorbike past a clock that was set to 5:15pm - the time the first ever episode aired.
The Elizabeth I storyline was kind of ongoing from Ten's regeneration.
The Doctor's horse - possibly a reference to The Girl in The Fireplace where he acquired a horse called Arthur.
The Zygon detector - similar to the Doctor's "timey-wimey detector" in Blink, which "goes ding when there's stuff".
Hurt's Doctor telling the others that their screwdrivers weren't water pistols referenced The Fire of Pompeii were the Doctor used a water pistol to fight off the pyrovore.
The "round things" on the TARDIS interior were in the First Doctor's TARDIS.
And again and again and again. Lots to look out for.
The Black Archive itself (actually mentioned in the SJA's rather than DW).
Slight continuity error there as in Terror of the Zygons the Zygons only got word of their home world being destroyed in the 1970's (or was it the 80's) yet here the Zygons in 1562 knew about it.
