-* Few clues are given as to when in Donna Noble's travels with the Doctor that this occurs. Her somewhat snarky demeanour, a trait that lessened considerably later in her travels, would suggest this took place early on.
+* The Doctor states that he is a nobleman of the Draconian Empire. ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space]]'')
-* Several alien races are revealed to have some form of news media: the [[Draconian]]s, the [[Ice Warrior]]s, and even the [[Adipose]].
-* The Doctor states that he is a nobleman of the Draconian Empire, as he did in [[DW]]: ''[[Frontier in Space]]''. In the earlier story, he reveals that he was given that title after performing a service for the empire on a previous visit to [[Draconia]].
