The Doctor: Yeah? Well I'm the lord of time.
| Rose: What have you been doing; where have you been?!"
The Doctor: (seemingly drunk) Well...among other things, I think I invented the banana daiquiri a couple of centuries early. D'you know, they'd never even seen a banana before. Always take a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good.

Rose: Arthur?

Rose: No, you're not keeping the horse!

The Doctor: Me!

In reality, Madame de Pompadour died when she was 42, not 43 as stated in the episode.
| Although the future Madame de Pompadour introduces herself to the Doctor as "Reinette" in 1727, she was not actually known by that name until 1730.
