Characters
References
- What the Doctor loves about Earth is that there is always something new! This time bubble-gum dispencers on all street corners.
Notes
- Without the gum offering the Glohbb a means of survival in this dimension it is unknown how they managed to set up the Eazi-Gum company, and both market and distribute themselves in dispencers on street corners.
- Also unknown is what specifically activated them to work together as a single entity.
Original print details
- Publication with page count and closing captions

Continuity
- Clara is seen searching for the non-existant company behind the gum (Eazi-Gum) on the internet in a cafe - presumably using her new skills given to her by mistake by the Great Intelligence. (TV: The Bells of Saint John).
- Clara patronises the Doctor with the phrase "Clever Boy!" when he works out the last little problem is the mess left behind. (TV: Asylum of the Daleks, The Snowmen).
