References
- There are images of the Ninth Doctor at Sumatra in 1880; at Southampton, England, in 1912; at Dallas, Texas, in 1963; and on a security camera sometime in the 20th or 21st centuries.
- Samuel Preston mentions the Doctor has "a strange box".
Notes
- From the content seen on the website, this site is probably set prior to TV: Rose, although no explanation is given for the absence of the "Contact Clive" page.
- In many ways, this short story is similar to PROSE: The Book of the War, both being a large collection of smaller narratives, or entries, that make up a larger narrative.
Continuity
- Clive Finch's website was later accessed by Rose Tyler, and she visited Clive, and he showed her the pictures he posted on the site. (TV: Rose, PROSE: Rose)
- Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo in 28 June 1914, sparking World War II. (PROSE: Human Nature, COMIC: The Dalek Project, TV: Silver Nemesis, TV: The Family of Blood)
- The Seventh Doctor would later return to Sarajevo in 1995. (PROSE: Death and Diplomacy)
- The Doctor attends a couple of football matches. He also attended other matches in his first, (PROSE: The Rag & Bone Man's Story) fifth, (PROSE: The Church of Football) eighth, (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game, AUDIO: Living Legend) eleventh, (COMIC: They Think It's All Over, Bow-ties for Goal Posts) and twelfth incarnations. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)
- The Doctor was present for the destruction of Big Ben. (TV: Aliens of London)
- The Doctor previously was present for the fall of the Berlin Wall in his eighth incarnation, (PROSE: Father Time) and when he returned in his tenth incarnation, he recollected that he had been present twice before. (PROSE: Autonomy)
