The Journal of Impossible Things[[edit source]]
Why does is state that "First, Seventh and Eighth Doctors, and partial appearances of sketches of the Fifth and Sixth Doctors" when all ten doctors were clearly visible?
Family of blood[[edit source]]
I thought Family of blood was part 2 of the Human nature story!
- Yes, it is. What's your point? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 17:35, May 30, 2019 (UTC)

The Journal in Rose[[edit source]]
This one sounds a bit unlikely and probably should have a source added to it. Can anyone confirm that the Journal of Impossible Things actually appears in Clive's possession in "Rose"? I doubt it since they probably had no idea they'd be adapting the novel at that early stage; perhaps it was just a notebook. Are there any sources - interviews, DW Confidential, magazine articles, DVD commentaries - to support this? If not, it probably should be removed as baseless speculation. 68.146.41.232 18:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
The novel[[edit source]]
Does this episode make the Human Nature novel continuity? The evil dudeArnie 18:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Definitely not. There are a lot of differences, not the least of which is the fact that the novel involves the Seventh Doctor and Bernice Summerfield. -DrGaellon (talk | contribs) 10:33, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- One could argue that because they're significantly different in a number of regards, they could be separate adventures. It's a massively thorny issue though, and would require a very careful reading of the novel to establish them as wholly distinct adventures. Paul Cornell, for his part, wrote a bit of a tome on canon following the televised adventure, essentially to avoid having to directly answer which one was the more canonical.

- For The Doctor this could be a case of life repeating itself. I haven't found an explicitly defined reason why The Seventh Doctor 'changed' into John Smith (novel) in the PROSE novel {any help??}. When The Tenth Doctor used the Chameleon Arch to hide himself from his pursuers The Tardis might have chosen an identitiy and a space time setting based upon The Doctor's previous experiences as a human; same alias, same location on Earth and one year previous to his having been there before. The Tardis might even be drawing from The Doctor's subconscious desire to return to Farringham.

A brief comparisons of The Tardis Index File entries for Human Nature (TV story) and Human Nature (novel) finds only three characters with the same name; Joan Redford, Hutchinson and Mr. Rocastle. The adversaries are different, their mode of travel is different and the schools have different names.
