Watch out for a lot of nods to Lost from Mr Moffat in Series 5. I've noticed a lot of nods to Lost in a lot of his Series 3 & 4 stories especially in Silence in the Library...dark shadowy smoke monster, floor hatch, style of spacesuit, "Who are the others ?" and more ...but that would be telling.
He's also a life long Troughton fan, hence the long legged mini-skirted companion.
Perhaps a nod to each at the end of last night's episode.
Lost - "Legs! I've got legs!"
Troughton - The last shot of the Doc spinning down out of control similar to PT's forced regeneration.”
Perhaps he should have shouted "Barrowman" in a Kirkesque "Khaaaaan" style at some point.
I gave up on Lost very early - not my cup of tea, so any references will be "lost" on me.
By the look of the trailer it seems Matt will have a University Professor style image with the tweed jacket and bow tie (I've not looked at any pictures from the shooting of the series). So if we are going to get PT type nods will he play some sort of musical instrument like a recorder?
