The Pilot episode of Doctor Who Series 10 included a rather familiar sort of threat.[li]

I think the Lorn-Flukes are behind the events of the episode. There are just too many parallels to call it a coincidence.

Also the Drownie, the alien in an unfamiliar place, the focus on emotions like wanderlust, and the puddle/amber.[li]

On a similar note:

this week’s episode - Victorian explorers get shipwrecked beyond the Avid Horizon.

Next week’s episode - the Liberation of Night!

Honestly, Empress of Mars ended up being my favourite Gattiss episod siply because of the fact that it had Victorians in space XD (Also, Alpha Centauri)
