* Taking place in 2163, which is stated to be a year before the invasion ends, the story explicitly dates the Dalek invasion as happening between [[2152]] (when the [[meteorite]] bombardment began, as far as Kyle is able to recall, although his memory is a bit fuzzy) and [[2164]], based off the calendar the Doctor and [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] find in ''The Dalek Invasion of Earth''. This is at odds with other stories including ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'', ''[[GodEngine (novel)|GodEngine]]'', ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'' and ''[[The Mutant Phase (audio story)|The Mutant Phase]]'', which date the invasion in the ten years between [[2157]] and [[2167]]. | |||
