Continuity
- The Doctor is intending to arrive for Alfred the Great's coronation in 871 AD. He had met Alfred the Great in his previous incarnations, including his Fourth, (AUDIO: Babblesphere) Sixth, (PROSE: The Man Who Wouldn't Give Up) Tenth, (PROSE: Revenge of the Judoon) and earlier in his Eleventh incarnation. (COMIC: They Think It's All Over)
- The Doctor mentions that his sonic screwdriver started off as a conventional screwdriver, (TV: The War Games) but now has numerous additional functions. (TV: The Sea Devils et al)
- The Doctor battles and communicates with Evo in his mind, something he would also do against Mr Clever in TV: Nightmare in Silver.
- The Doctor mentioned that he previously encountered robot mummies (TV: Pyramids of Mars) and alien vampires (TV: State of Decay et al). He did not recall whether he had met zombies previously, although he had actually met zombies of Haitian legend in his seventh incarnation. (PROSE: White Darkness)
- Evo is unable to find the Doctor in any databases, potentially due to the latter's actions in removing himself from databases and from history. (HOMEVID: The Inforarium) The Doctor also mentions that he's trying to fly under the radar these days (TV: The Wedding of River Song)
- The Doctor yet again says "bow ties are cool". (TV: The Eleventh Hour et al)
