- This is the final DWM comic strip to feature the Ninth Doctor.
- Shakespeare first appears in Doctor Who in "The Executioners," the first episode of the television story The Chase. He later appeared on televised Doctor Who in The Shakespeare Code.

The dialogue and presentation of the enemies speaking while watching the writer work is similar to several parts of The Shakespeare Code. Both were written by Gareth Roberts.
- A tavern sign features a picture of a wolf's head and the initials "B.W.", a reference to the Bad Wolf story arc resolved in the television story The Parting of the Ways.
