Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Iris is writing in a copy of Wild Thymes on the 22 as if it is one of her journals. On the same table are copies of The Perennial Miss Wildthyme, Iris Wildthyme of Mars, and Iris: Abroad.
Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Iris’s pose, facial expression, and placement before a panelled window evoke the Portrait of Charlotte du Val d'Ognes.
- With the Moulin Rouge a street away in the background, the illustration’s cafe is situated in Montmartre, Paris.
- Iris's hat, earrings, and jacket originate from an outfit designed for the cover of Whatever Happened to Iris Wildthyme? which was cut off from the front of the final CD release.[1]
- The woman inside the cafe facing away from the reader wears an outfit developed by Hanley for a fan-cast incarnation of the Doctor. The green coat and scarf hanging nearby was also developed for this Doctor.[2] However, when asked if the woman was this Doctor, Hanley responded that he was reusing the look for an original character who hadn’t yet appeared in anything else,[3] later apparent to be the Warp Hustler character Otherfred.
- Like Iris, Otherfred is also a crude female pastiche of 20th century depictions of the Doctor. That they have interacted and are friendly with each other, as suggested by this piece, thus has rich implications.
- The character Bloody Mary from Paul Hanley's The Unthinkables comic series cameos in the crowd.[4]
- In the context of the Iris Wildthyme universe, the appearance of Patrick Troughton or Jodie Whitaker could represent El Jefe.
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The crowd includes Spike Milligan (PROSE: The Heart Pendulums) Carrie Fisher, (PROSE: Drowned in Moonlight) Greyfriars Bobby, (PROSE: The Most Faithful Panda in the World) Geoffrey Chaucer, (PROSE: The Haberdasher's Tale) Stella Boulton and Fanny Graham, (PROSE: The Brightest Stars in the Demimonde) a grey alien, (PROSE: Starstation to Starstation) and Paul Magrs. (PROSE: The Magrs Conundrum!)
- Señor 105 is holding Sheila. (PROSE: Elementary, My Dear Sheila, et al.)
- Iris is writing in her journals. In Wild Thymes on the 22, the stories Rain and Regency, Iris Wildthyme & the Bush Offensive, Drowned in Moonlight, Hillbilly Heavens, and Starstation to Starstation are partially told as text from Iris's journals and The Heart Pendulums, The Most Faithful Panda in the World, The Exploding Somewhat Inevitable, The Brightest Stars in the Demimonde, and The Magrs Conundrum! are entirely presented as journal text. Iris' journals first appeared in The Scarlet Empress [+]Loading...["The Scarlet Empress (novel)"].
- Janice, unnamed in this work, would go on to appear in Janice.
- Noel Edmonds's haircut, shirt, and 3D glasses are those from his introduction to Dimensions in Time.
