Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The plants on Lunargov III are made from Telatron.
- The Doctor and Sarah are partaking in afternoon tea in the TARDIS.
- Sarah eats blackberry jam.
- Sarah has been on a diet, which the Doctor thinks is ridiculous. As apart of this, she is avoiding having sugar in her tea (it appears she would usually take two lumps of sugar). However, she gave up the diet two days before but doesn't want to admit to it the Doctor.
- There is a hidden panel within the TARDIS control room. This leads to a chamber which the Doctor communicates with fellow Time Lord, Karr.
Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The TARDIS is referred to both as "the Tardis" and as simply "Tardis".

Although Astrolabus bears a marked physical resemblance to Madrigor, however, the Doctor's prior encounter with Madrigor is not explicitly referenced, making it unclear that this was intended as an actual reference rather than convergent evolution.
- "The Time Thief" would, however, later be explicitly name-dropped in PROSE: I Walk in Eternity [+]Loading...["I Walk in Eternity (feature)"] as an alternative possible Renegade Time Lord protagonist who might be used as a focal character for the Adventures in Space and Time role-playing game.
