Oh, the history of it! Not only do our intrepid adventurers end up in America on Doctor Who Season 11 Episode 3 but they land on the eve of one of the greatest events in the civil rights movement, the Rosa Parks bus protest.
There has been much speculation that our Thirteenth Doctor is meant to harken back to the First Doctor, portrayed by William Hartnell from 1963 to 1965. With the lookalike job done by David Bradley in the Twelfth-to-Thirteenth regeneration adventure, Doctor Who Season 10 Episode 14, it wasn't hard to see the signposts.

Even the trio of Companions is a tip of the hat to the first incarnation of The Doctor. The First Doctor traveled with his granddaughter and two schoolteachers and their adventures often took them into historical events, an educational by-product for children glued to the show.
