Story notes
As Book 1 of the BBC New Series Adventures line, this book ushered in a new publication format for BBC Books, which exclusively released this and all future New Series Adventures featuring the Ninth and Tenth Doctors, as well as BBC Torchwood novels in hardcover format (although the Quick Reads novellas remained as paperback releases and some limited-edition promotional paperback issues of Ninth and Tenth Doctor books would occur outside the UK). The Clockwise Man is the first Doctor Who novel to be released in hardcover since Target Books discontinued publishing hardcover editions of its novelisations in the 1980s, and it is the first original Doctor Who novel ever issued in the format.
Continuity
- Clockwork men also appear with the Tenth Doctor DW: The Girl in the Fireplace, the Eighth Doctor in EDA: Anachrophobia and the Second Doctor in DW: The Mind Robber.
- There is a mention of Rose 'dressing up' while the Doctor only has a 'new shirt'. (DW: The Unquiet Dead)
- Rose has a conversation with one of the servants in the Imperial Club, and the girl makes her think of Gwyneth, who appeared in DW: The Unquiet Dead.
- In the club, the Doctor looks at a painting of the French Revolution and says "That's not right". In the first episode of Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child, the Doctor's granddaughter, Susan Foreman, reads a book about the French Revolution and says the same words.
- The Doctor mentions to Rose at the end of the Season 2 episode DW: Tooth and Claw that Queen Victoria's descendants suffered from a condition called Haemophilia. This was also mentioned when The Doctor and Rose visit the British Empire Exhibition.
- The Doctor mentions his second regeneration and his exile to Earth. (DW: The War Games, DW: Spearhead from Space)
