| == Plot ==
| |
| The [[Thirteenth Doctor]] wakes, alone, on a barren wasteland, looking up at a giant, dilapidated house. She is then shook back to reality; a field of marsh, surrounded by dead soldiers and spent artillery. [[Yasmin Khan|Yaz]] and [[Dan Lewis|Dan]] then reappear, having also blacked out when [[the Flux]] cloud hit [[the TARDIS]]. The Doctor deduces they're on [[Earth]], when a woman approaches them from the [[fog]], calling them thieves. She confirms herself as [[Mary Seacole]], and the Doctor deduces they're near [[Sevastopol]] in [[1855]], in the middle of the [[Crimean War]]. Seacole hears enemy soldiers returning, and the four of them hide. When the Doctor asks how many [[Russian]]s the British are fighting, Seacole disclaims her, as a [[Sontaran]] [[commander]], riding a horse, emerges with his troop.

| |
| === History ===
| |
| * The [[Crimean War]] originally saw the [[British Empire]] fighting the [[Russian]]s. Time has been altered so that the Empire has been fighting the [[Sontar (country)|Sontarans]] instead.
| |
| * Mary Seacole mentions a "[[Florence Nightingale|Mrs Nightingale]]".
| |
| | |
| === Miscellaneous ===
| |
| * Dan and Karvanista escape from the Sontaran ship through a [[waste tube]].
| |
| * Dan sarcastically calls Karvanista "[[Scooby Doo]]".
| |
| * Dan and Eileen use a [[wok]] to defend themselves.
| |
| | |
| == Story notes ==
| |
| * For the endboard, the old [[BBC Studios]] logo was used instead of the new one which was used in the previous episode ''[[The Halloween Apocalypse (TV story)|The Halloween Apocalypse]].''
| |
| * The opening sequence of the episode (inside the Doctor's mind) is in [[Monochrome|black and white]]. The last episode to have a black/white sequence was the "Previously" sequence of ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'' with [[William Hartnell]] as the [[First Doctor]].
| |
| * As [[Sontar-ha]] is established by the [[Sontaran]]s as a war chant or when something is positive, this episode introduces a negative in the form of "Sontar-ho", as when [[Skaak]] executed [[Svild]] for dishonour to the name of their species.

| === Production errors ===
| |
| {{discontinuity}}
| |
| * The subtitles provided by [[BBC One]] and [[BBC America]] erroneously spell [[Linx]]'s name as "Lynx".
| |
| * The end credits, as well as the 52 minute mark of the subtitles, and the officially listed iPlayer website credits, misspell [[Ritskaw]]'s name as "Riskaw".
| |
| | |
| == Continuity ==
| |
| * Skaak mentions Commander [[Linx]]'s claim on Earth for the Sontaran Empire, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Warrior (TV story)|The Time Warrior]]'') even though the [[Rutan]]s had prior claim. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Castle of Fear (audio story)|Castle of Fear]]'')
| |
| * Much like the [[Tenth Doctor]] with [[Harriet Jones]] regarding the [[Sycorax]], the Thirteenth Doctor shows moral outrage when the retreating Sontarans are massacred by [[Logan (War of the Sontarans)|Logan]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'')
| |
| *The [[Second Doctor]] had once stated that he had been to the [[Crimean War]]. ([[TV]]: [[The Evil of the Daleks (TV story)|''The Evil of the Daleks'']]) Soldiers from the war were also kidnapped by the [[War Lord]]s. ([[TV]]: [[The War Games (TV story)|''The War Games'']])
| |
| * The [[Seventh Doctor]] landed during the siege of [[Sevastopol]] where the TARDIS was also damaged, this time by a British Cannonball which separated the interior from the exterior. On this occasion the Doctor and [[Ace]] became prisoners of the [[Russia]]n Empire, whilst [[Hex]] met his childhood hero of [[Florence Nightingale]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Angel of Scutari (audio story)|The Angel of Scutari]]'')
| |
| * The [[Twelfth Doctor]] had previously helped Mary Seacole deal with an alien infection. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Charge of the Night Brigade (audio story)|The Charge of the Night Brigade]]'')
| |
| *[[Svild]] invokes the [[Shadow Proclamation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'')
| |
| *The Doctor mentions being President of Gallifrey ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]], [[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]], [[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]])''
