• 1890 - The Eleventh Doctor took Amy Pond and Rory Williams to the recently opened Savoy Hotel for their tenth wedding anniversary. He assured them there would be no complications, only to discover there was a Zygon ship under the Savoy, and half of the staff were imposters. Though the Doctor managed to deal with this. (TV: The Power of Three)
• 1965 - Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright returned to Earth using the Dalek time machine. (TV: The Chase, PROSE: The Time Travellers)
• Year of the Slow Invasion - The Ponds celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary. The Eleventh Doctor showed up and took them for a bit of sight-seeing on the TARDIS.
