Continuity
This section needs a cleanup.
Needs to be written from an out of universe perspective. Also, the grammar is poor.
- Larry mentions that Rani Chandra once spoke with Anthony Williams, whose parents were both sent back in time separately while ending up in the same place and time. Anthony debuted in the mini-episode P.S., and Anthony's recollection of his parents aligns with the ending of The Angels Take Manhattan.

- Osgood postulates that the reason the Doctor's TARDIS is drawn on a first-edition copy of Bleak House is because the Doctor visited the Crimean War around 1853. (TV: War of the Sontarans)
- The Angels ask Osgood if she is still jealous of her sister. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
- Osgood jokes that TARDIS stands for Totally And Radically Driving In Space (TV: The Zygon Invasion) before relenting that it instead means life (TV: Oxygen)
