* Sara tells Robert that during her travels with the Doctor and Steven, she visited [[Hollywood]] in [[1921]] where a film director tried to hire her to replace the leading lady, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'') that a small boy, who was also named Robert, died in her arms on [[Mars]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Little Drummer Boy (short story)|The Little Drummer Boy]]'') and that she encountered a withered old man who was trapped in the workings of a clock. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Guardian of the Solar System (audio story)|The Guardian of the Solar System]]'') The latter reference is unique in that it referred to a forthcoming ''Companion Chronicles'' story.
