* ''Destination: Skaro'' was the first time an adult Davros was seen prior to his disfigurement in live action, though this time of his life had previously been depicted in [[Big Finish Productions]]' ''[[I, Davros]]'' audio dramas {{cs|Davros (audio story)}}, {{cs|Purity (audio story)}} and {{cs|Corruption (audio story)}}. He had also previously been shown as a child in {{cs|The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)}} and {{cs|The Witch's Familiar (TV story)}}. Russell T Davies stated on ''[[Doctor Who: Unleashed]]'' that he did not want to depict Davros as he looked in the past to avoid associating a disfigured wheelchair user with "evil", particularly during Children in Need, where those with physical disabilities and mobility issues are among those who are helped by the charity. | * ''Destination: Skaro'' was the first time an adult Davros was seen prior to his disfigurement in live action, though this time of his life had previously been depicted in [[Big Finish Productions]]' ''[[I, Davros]]'' audio dramas {{cs|Davros (audio story)}}, {{cs|Purity (audio story)}} and {{cs|Corruption (audio story)}}.

* According to ''[[Doctor Who: Unleashed]]'', ''Destination: Skaro'' was filmed on [[David Tennant]]'s birthday a year after he had wrapped production on the [[2023 specials|60th anniversary specials]]. This would place the date of filming as [[18 April (people)|18 April]] [[2023 (people)|2023]]. | * According to ''[[Doctor Who: Unleashed]]'', ''Destination: Skaro'' was filmed on [[David Tennant]]'s birthday 2/3 of a year after he had wrapped production on the [[2023 specials|60th anniversary specials]].

* ''Destination: Skaro'' contradicts elements of the audio dramas ''[[Davros (audio story)|Davros]]'' and ''[[I, Davros]]'', such as the scene where Davros constructs the [[Mark I Travel Machine]], which was done after he was confined to his wheelchair, and Davros is already shown acquainted with [[Nyder]], despite the audio releases depicting their first meeting as happening when Nyder rescued Davros from the attack that disfigured him. However, the Doctor's remark about rupturing timelines implies that ''Destination: Skaro'' occurs in an different reality. | * ''Destination: Skaro'' contradicts elements of the audio dramas ''[[Davros (audio story)|Davros]]'' and ''[[I, Davros]]'', such as the scene where Davros constructs the [[Mark I Travel Machine]], which was done after he was confined to his wheelchair, and Davros is already shown acquainted with [[Nyder]], despite the audio releases depicting their first meeting as happening when Nyder rescued Davros from the attack that disfigured him.

* The Doctor saying, "''Sixty minutes ago, I was this [[Thirteenth Doctor|really brilliant woman]]''", draws a parallel back to {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, where the Thirteenth Doctor told [[Yaz Khan]] and [[Ryan Sinclair]] that "half an [[hour]] ago, [she] was [[Twelfth Doctor|a white-haired Scotsman]]." | * The Doctor saying, "''Sixty minutes ago, I was this [[Thirteenth Doctor|really brilliant woman]]''", draws a parallel back to {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}}, where the Thirteenth Doctor told [[Yaz Khan]] and [[Ryan Sinclair]] that "half an [[hour]] ago, [she] was [[Twelfth Doctor|a white-haired Scotsman]]." | ||

* The Doctor calling the time period the "genesis of the Daleks" in dialogue acts as a nod to [[TV]]: {{cs|World Enough and Time (TV story)}}, in which the [[Saxon Master]] similarly dubbed his [[The Cyber-Foundries|Cyber-Foundries]] as the "[[genesis of the Cybermen]]". | * The Doctor calling the time period the "genesis of the Daleks" in dialogue acts as a nod to [[TV]]: {{cs|World Enough and Time (TV story)}}, in which the [[Saxon Master]] similarly dubbed his [[The Cyber-Foundries|Cyber-Foundries]] as the "[[genesis of the Cybermen]]". | ||
* The Doctor mentions the concept of [[canonicity]] as a concept similar to a [[timeline]]; many sources have also referenced canonicity in this way, such as [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Blue Angel (novel)}} establishing that the [[Time Lord]]s have a [[Towers of Canonicity and Likelihood|Tower of Canonicity]]. Furthermore, the Doctor's exclamation that "the timelines and canon are rupturing" is very similar to a line in [[GAME]]: {{cs|Double Danger (game)|page=44}}, where it is stated that "there's been a rupture in time and the Doctor needs to know [...] what's changed between two realities." | * The Doctor mentions the concept of [[canonicity]] as a concept similar to a [[timeline]]; many sources have also referenced canonicity in this way, such as [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Blue Angel (novel)}} establishing that the [[Time Lord]]s have a [[Towers of Canonicity and Likelihood|Tower of Canonicity]].
