'' | * When the [[Sixth Doctor|Doctor]] thinks [[Jamie McCrimmon (Land of Fiction)|Jamie]] is dead, he quotes the following words from [[Hie Away, Hie Away|a poem]]: | ||
"Hie to haunts right seldom seen,<br> | |||
Lovely, lonesome, cool, and green<br> | |||
Over bank and over brae,<br> | |||
Hie away, hie away." | |||
* The Doctor later quotes the words "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone.", which [[John Rowland|John]] identifies as the poem ''[[Solitude (poem)|Solitude]]'' by [[Ella Wheeler Wilcox]]. | |||

The Ninth Doctor also said in [[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}} that he was on a ship that was unsinkable and ended up clinging to an iceberg. He could be referencing this story since the [[Sixth Doctor]] is thrown off the Titan and onto an iceberg. The [[Tenth Doctor]] found himself aboard [[Titanic (spaceship)|a spacecraft duplicate of the ''Titanic'']] in [[TV]]: {{cs|Voyage of the Damned (TV story)}}. Similarly, in this story, the Sixth Doctor's first theory is that the ''Titanic'' is a fake designed for [[tourist]]s. | ||

The [[Delta III|moon in question]] was the setting of [[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of Kroll (TV story)}}, and the titular Kroll vaguely resembles a giant squid. | ||
