''to be added''
* Given that the TARDIS's chameleon circuit is operational, this is one of the few ''Doctor Who'' stories in any medium in which the TARDIS appears in a form other than that of a [[police box]].


==Continuity==
== Continuity ==
*Nyssa is not the only [[companion]] to have an idea about how to fix the chameleon circuit. The "[[Doctor Donna]]" seemed to have the solution right on the tip of her tongue, right before she had to have her memories wiped by the [[Tenth Doctor]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Journey's End]]'')

The "[[Doctor Donna]]" seemed to have the solution right on the tip of her tongue, right before she had to have her memories wiped by the [[Tenth Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'')
*This story allows for a very loose "[[chameleon circuit]] trilogy" featuring the [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth]], Fifth and [[Sixth Doctor]]s. It sits in between the other failed efforts seen in ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'' and ''[[Attack of the Cybermen]]''.
* The Doctor mentions having a [[TARDIS manual]], as seen in ''[[The Pirate Planet (TV story)|The Pirate Planet]]'' and ''[[Vengeance on Varos (TV story)|Vengeance on Varos]]'', and wonders how Nyssa could possibly have ''begun'' repairing the [[chameleon circuit]] without it.

* The Doctor is said to have a symbiotic relationship with the TARDIS, as stated in many stories, including ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'', ''[[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]]'' and others.

* The rhythm of the Doctor's [[binary vascular system|double heartsbeat]] is used to call the whale-TARDIS under water. It's [[foley]]ed to be exactly the same four-beat structure as {{Simm}}'s heartsbeat in [[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]''.

==Timeline==
[[Category:Stories in need of plot details]]
Though the play gives no specifics as to its timing, ''The Deep'' takes place somewhere between ''[[Time-Flight]]'' and ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'', because Nyssa is travelling alone with the Doctor.
