Aquari References
Yes, Aquari was the series arch, although we may have forgotten to mention it in most episodes. It has been mentioned a few times before and there have also been a couple of global warming references, or the lack of global warming. Anyway here are the references, in case you've missed them and I hope you're enjoying the final so far.
Mini-ep 9 Go Fish!
Yes Global warming was first mentioned here by the woman who was dressed as a fish. This episode was based in the 40th century too, about 65 years before Hide and Seek. Anyway here is the reference:
“Wait won’t you get eaten by sharks in that,” Conner asked.
“Don’t be stupid, there aren’t any huge fish eaters around, there hasn’t been any global warming or anything,” the lady said as she got back in the costume.
Episode 12 The Spidership
The first time that Aquari was mentioned was in the Series 1 final:
“Then, suddenly they had much more money again”, Zac continued, “The money came out of nowhere. They had enough to sponsor loads of games and companies, including the new aquari water supply”.
Episode 4 Attack of the Clowns
The next time it is mentioned, is in Series 2 episode 4. I had a scene where I was going to mention Aquari in the Christmas Special, but I forgot. It was mentioned earlier in the Clown double episode, that Abby Stuart worked for a water company, which was later revealed to be the Aquari company. Anyway here's the mention:
Sybil collapsed on the floor, gasping.
“You are not alone,” she said, her words becoming jumbled. “Torchwood, Torchwood, t-t-t-Torchwood. Bad Wolf. Baaaad Wolfie. Wolf. Rack. Aquari. Bad bad bad wolf. Hooowl!”
Episode 10 Hide and Seek
Aquari was mentioned in a nice little scene in episode 10 of series 2, where we find out Aquari's still about, linking the present and the future:
Korena nodded and headed to the front door. A van pulled up outside, and two men stepped out, carrying a crate of bottled water for Korena. She pointed inside the house, and the Doctor passed them as they stepped inside.
“What was that all about?” the Doctor asked.
“Aquari Aquatics supply my water,” Korena said. “I only drink it bottled.”
“Aquari Aquatics?” the Doctor asked. “I think they exist in the 21st Century… Abby Stuart worked as their secretary.”
“That’s nice,” Korena said, only half listening.
The Deleted Scenes page
Aquari was actually mentioned in a scene on the deleted scenes page, where Georgia is on her phone in Maids, Myths and Monsters:
The woman thanked the Doctor again, and returned to her house. Georgia was stood near the TARDIS, looking on her phone. The screen kept flashing white, and random words from the internet kept apearring: glucose, umbrella, banned, Spidership, bottle, frog, Aquari, house, tempo, mortgage, ten pounds. Georgia tapped a number into the keypad, and pressed the call button.
That's all the mentions there's been, except all the mentions in the final, I wonder how many people noticed them?
