References
Food and drink

Planets
- Vacintia, the home of the Vacintians, is in its final days. The sun that it orbits is now a red giant.
- Vacintia has a population of 90 billion.
- Calibris is a spaceport planet used as a crossover point by 60 million people every day.
Popular culture
Species
- The Vacintians are a race of people who like to keep order. They are also known for their paperwork and regulations.
- Despite facing almost certain death on their homeworld, Vacintians prefer to live their final moments together as a single race of people.
The TARDIS
- Donna notes that there is a very limited range of women's clothing in the TARDIS wardrobe.
Weapons
- Time Reaver guns can turn seconds into much longer time periods. The victim/user will experience their final emotion all the way through this experience.
- Time Reavers were outlawed in most major galaxies.
- A Time Reaver Bomb had the same effect as a Time Reaver, however it was made to explode and affect more than one person at a time.
Notes
- While this story is set before In the Blood, it was actually released four days after the novel.
Continuity
- Donna borrows a "wench" style outfit from the TARDIS wardrobe. (TV: Pyramids of Mars, The Twin Dilemma; AUDIO: No Place Like Home)
- The Doctor requires a new fluid link for his TARDIS. (TV: The Daleks, The Web Planet, et. al)
- When referred to as "Doc", the Doctor makes his dislike for the nickname very clear. (TV: The Time Meddler, The Five Doctors, The Twin Dilemma, The Ultimate Foe, Dreamland)
- The Doctor notes that he stole a Type 40 TARDIS because he was in a hurry to leave Gallifrey. (TV: An Unearthly Child, Logopolis, The Name of the Doctor; AUDIO: The Beginning)
- When Donna is greeted by the maitre d', he tells her that "there is something on your back." (TV: The Fires of Pompeii, Turn Left)
- Mere seconds before Donna thinks she is going to die, Donna says to the Doctor that she "wouldn't have missed it for the world". This mirrors the interaction between the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler when she similarly believed that she was going to die in 2012. (TV: Dalek)
- Shortly after the death of Cora's father, Donna tries to get from her the information about the remaining Time Reaver guns by invoking her own late father Geoff Noble. (TV: The Runaway Bride, The End of Time)
- After spending decades trapped in his comatose state, the Doctor states that he missed reading. He then decides that their next trip would be to a library. The Doctor would one day take Donna to the Library in the 51st century. Donna notes how this suggestion makes it feel like "a day out with Gramps". (TV: Silence in the Library)
