There then follows a 5 minute clip from‘Utopia’, an episode of Doctor Who
(I’ve left the video off to avoid rights trouble)
A separate plot shows that Yana has been hearing a constant drumbeat inside his
head — a condition he reports having had all his life, with the drums getting
louder of late. Words such as "regeneration" and "TARDIS" — elements of Time
Lord lore — exacerbate the problem. When Martha expresses concern over the
Professor's uneasiness, he reveals a long-standing concern with time, and shows
Martha a broken fob watch he's had since obtaining it as a child, identical in
design to John Smith's watch in "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood".
Concerned about the implications, Martha rushes to inform the Doctor.
When the Doctor hears about Yana's timepiece, a flashback sequence inter-cut
with the letters of the Professor's name makes clear that "Yana" is an acronym of
"You are not alone", the Face of Boe's last words to the Doctor. At the same time,
Yana opens the watch, releasing his Time Lord essence.
