Well, since you asked, there's The Visitation/Black Orchid and Ghost Light/The Curse of Fenric to come. Plus, in the new series, Father's Day/The Empty Child, arguably The Impossible Astronaut/The Curse Of The Black Spot, The Angels Take Manhattan/The Snowmen, Cold War/Hide, The Girl Who Died/The Woman Who Lived and arguably Empress of Mars/The Eaters of Light.

Stories where everyone dies? Arguably The Doctor's Wife and The Girl Who Waited. Did Sleep No More really 'happen' the way we saw it? Does anyone care?

Re: Sleep No More: I do. Like "Love & Monsters", I adore SNM for being a full-on unreliable narrator story that is far more plausibly read as a 'fake' Who story iyswim? Everything is just ever-so-slightly 'off' and the story makes less and less sense the more you try to deconstruct it. But we can wait a bit until Jonn formally gets there on here. :)

Not just two pseudo-historicals, but two set very nearly in the same time and place and milieu. They ought to be related, but, of course, it's just a random coincidence.

Oh wait, one of the generic soldiers survives Sleep No More. So forget I mentioned that.
