References
- Luparis is the third planet of Proxima Centauri and is supposed to be overgrown with no intelligent life.
- Tegan and Mike Bretherton, who were next door neighbours, went to high school together in Brisbane. They were taught physics and chemistry by Miss Anderson. When she was fifteen, she broke her toe during track and gym and Mike carried her books home for her.
- Lord Zellenger is one of Queen Zafira's husbands and Consort Counsellors. She eventually tired of him and married Lord Jezzavar, who replaced him as her primary Consort Counsellor. She had several other husbands before them but likewise tired of them in time.
- Luparis is a replica of Tudor London, featuring reproductions of the River Thames (which has frozen over due to the planet's rapidly falling temperatures, leading to a frost fair), London Bridge and the Palace of Whitehall.
- The Doctor once sparred with Errol Flynn.
- Tegan and Nyssa each have their own TARDIS keys
- The Doctor says that Gallifreyans can live for "millennia."
Notes

(AUDIO: The Butcher of Brisbane) Later in his personal timeline, the Doctor would return to the city on 22 September 2006, where he would be reunited with Tegan, approximately 22 years after she had left the TARDIS following an encounter with the Daleks in London in 1984. (AUDIO: The Gathering)
- The Doctor tells Lord Jezzavar of the destruction of Traken in 1981 while Nyssa obliquely refers to the death of her father Tremas. (TV: Logopolis)
- Nyssa mentions the time of Malador. (AUDIO: The Guardians of Prophecy)
- Tegan refers to the Great Fire of London in September 1666. (TV: The Visitation)

- The Doctor mentions that he has witnessed humans thriving during one of Earth's Ice Ages. (TV: An Unearthly Child)
