'''''The Continuity Cap''''' was a ''[[Doctor Who Adventures]]'' comic story featuring the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Donna Noble]]. | '''''The Continuity Cap''''' was a ''[[Doctor Who Adventures]]'' comic story featuring the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Donna Noble]]. | ||
The comic featured a device which would switch elements of the primary ''Doctor Who'' universe with parallel realities, depicting such things as a [[The Doctor's TARDIS (The Continuity Cap)|red telephone box TARDIS]] and a [[sonic toothbrush]]. The comic is also notable for introducing lore relating to the [[Dark Times]], certainly uncommon for the era and the typical tone of ''Doctor Who Adventures''. | |||

[[File:The Continuity Cap Hyffons.jpg|thumb|A Sontaran is inserted into the comic's illustration.]] | |||
* A feature of the [[DWA 67|67th issue of ''Doctor Who Adventures'']] was that an image of the [[Sontaran]] [[Skorr]] was hidden somewhere in the magazine. Those who identified where he was hidden and mailed in a response were given a chance at winning a ''Doctor Who'' [[Uno]] set. It just happens that Skorr was hiding ''within'' the ''Continuity Cap'' comic, being hidden in a depiction of the [[Hyffon]] conflict which led to the creation of the [[Continuity Cap]]. This depiction, of a Sontaran taking part in an infamous ancient war, ''does'' make sense from an in-universe perspective, despite the Sontaran clearly being a production photo edited into a 2D illustration. | |||
* Once can presume that many elements of this story, such as [[Stephen Cropper]] being knighted and the futuristic depiction of Earth, are an effect of the [[Continuity Cap]]. | |||
