where the Third Doctor berates Jo for her new age-y superstitions

You actually just made me think of the other recent Moffat episode, "Boom," in which the Doctor berates faith (and, more broadly, religion) throughout the episode, and then ends the episode admitting to having a kind of "faith" of his own.
