* The love of wood and craftsmanship that the Eighth Doctor holds appears to have carried through from a previous incarnation. (PROSE: Model Train Set)
* When asked if he was really "a doctor", the Doctor replied that he was actually "the Doctor". (TV: Robot et al)
* The Doctor defeats the Kestrians by singing a lullaby. The Eleventh Doctor also successfully used singing (albeit in part) to defeat Akhaten. (TV: The Rings of Akhaten)
* The Doctor feels a "childhood fear" of dangling his legs over the side of the bed, which he considers a "childhood recollection" tingling in his memory. (TV: Listen)
* The Doctor in anger comes up with multiple ways to destroy the Kestrians or go back in time to wipe them from existence, but refrains because he "was not that kind of man — not a warrior, or a killer". This would change in his regeneration to the War Doctor. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)
