Notes
- With the characters of Sibling Same and Sibling Different, The Wintertime Paradox features the first reference to Faction Paradox in BBC licensed media since The Gallifrey Chronicles in 2005, as well as the first time a BBC Wales incarnation of the Doctor has been explicitly depicted as encountering the Faction. Editor Emil Fortune acknowledged "the Obverse canon" represented by Obverse Books' Faction Paradox series but noted that Same and Different were part of a different version of the Faction, hailing from a defunct "rewritten timeline".[2]
- Canaries was not included in the physical book but published online as a tie-in to the Time Lord Victorious series. It was subsequently included in The Wintertime Paradox's e-book and paperback editions.
