Notes

• As a reference to the UNIT dating controversy, the exact timeframe of the story is never revealed, with the Doctor musing that it is either the 1970s or the 1980s.

Continuity

• The Bad Wolf meme can be seen on Tara Mishra's shirt.
• Sergeant Benton is confused when Jack uses the word "Unified" in UNIT's title. The acronym originally stood for "United Nations Intelligence Task Force" but changed sometime before the 2009 Sontaran invasion. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem)
• This story takes place immediately after COMIC: The Transformed.
• The Doctor complains that Harry Sullivan has created another weapon. Previously, Harry created a gas poisonous to Zygons. (TV: Terror of the Zygons)
