Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The reference in Placebo Effect to real-world President Clinton being president in 1997 introduces a possible discontinuity, as previous and subsequent novels in the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures established the fictional Tom Dering as US President during Sam's "present day" of the late 1990s. In other parts of the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures continuity, the clear implication is that Clinton either lost or did not contest a 1996 re-election bid, which allowed Dering to succeed him. (PROSE: Interference - Book One, Option Lock) In 2018, the Chris Chibnall era episode Rosa establishes Clinton as being president in 1999, suggesting that Clinton, as in the real world, did run for re-election and win.
