References
- Luparis is the third planet of Proxima Centauri and is supposed to be overgrown with no intelligent life.
- Tegan and Mike Bretherton, who were next door neighbours, went to high school together in Brisbane. They were taught physics and chemistry by Miss Anderson. When she was fifteen, she broke her toe during track and gym and Mike carried her books home for her.
- Luparis is a replica of Tudor London, featuring reproductions of the River Thames (which has frozen over due to the planet's rapidly falling temperatures, leading to a frost fair), London Bridge and the Palace of Whitehall.
- The Doctor once sparred with Errol Flynn.
- Tegan and Nyssa each have their own TARDIS keys.
- The Doctor says that Gallifreyans can live for "millennia".
Notes
- After the audio story Prison in Space, this is the second Lost Story in which a female ruler seeks to marry the Doctor. Babs, the Chairman of the World Federation of Womanhood, became infatuated with the Second Doctor immediately after meeting him in that story.
- After the audio story The Foe from the Future and The Valley of Death, this is the third Lost Story to partially take place in 1977.
