The Scientist has a great write up about deep-sea biologists Victoria Orphan and Shana Goffredi.
In Tooth and Claw, Season 2 Episode 2 of Doctor Who 2.0, we see the formation of The Torchwood Institute and the banishing of The Doctor (and Rose) from the United Kingdom. Fat lot that does. Anyway, we also see Queen Victoria make mention of the multiple attempts at her assassination.

You mean Victoria, BC ? ; )
Pine for the land of Nelly Furtado?

Freeze your arse off weather, you mean.
Lovely wilderness - yes, I'll give you that one. It is absolutely lovely.
Freezing? Rubbish. Chicago in winter. Vladivostok. Anchorage - they are freezing. We barely get a light flurry of snow in winter.
