Story notes
to be added
Continuity
- Leela refers to Johnny Skipton. (AUDIO: Dead Men Tales)
- Leela previously saw recreations of a British Spitfire and a German Messerschmitt in the Morovanian Museum on Morovania Minor. (AUDIO: The Renaissance Man)
- Leela once again refers to members of the Metropolitan Police Service as "blue guards." (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang; AUDIO: The Renaissance Man, Energy of the Daleks, The Foe from the Future, Dead Men's Tales)
- Litefoot tells Payne that he and Jago have experience of other times. (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang; AUDIO: The Spirit Trap, Swan Song)
- The Time Eaters showed Payne how to travel back in time to 2011. (AUDIO: Swan Song)
- Jago and Litefoot recall learning that the New Regency Theatre will ultimately be destroyed at 8:47 p.m. on 12 October 1940 in "a future war." (AUDIO: Swan Song)
- Ellie refers to the fact that Litefoot allowed her to stay at his house when she was "ill". (AUDIO: The Theatre of Dreams, The Ruthven Inheritance)
- It would later be revealed that Leela was unable to return to Gallifrey using her Time Ring as the interference from Payne's temporal experiments had prevented it from functioning. Furthermore, the experiments dragged both the Sixth Doctor's TARDIS and a Temparon vessel to the 1890s. (AUDIO: The Hourglass Killers)
