References
- According to Payne, this story takes place in "1890, give or take a few years."
- Sgt. Quick tells Professor Litefoot that the Metropolitan Police Service is issuing the cover story that the metal spheres are a stunt by a group of Bohemian artists. Litefoot raises the possibility that this may, in fact, be the truth. According to Quick, the police have interviewed the Irish author and playwright Oscar Wilde to that end and are confident that he had nothing to do with it. Litefoot mentions that he has met Wilde.
- As a result of the time breaks, Leela and Jago find a 20th century radio playing a BBC shipping broadcast. They later see a British spitfire and a German Messerschmitt fighting each other in the sky over 1890s London which had come from the Blitz in the early 1940s. One of the planes is severely damaged and its pilot make his escape using a parachute. Jago, having never previously seen either a "flying machine" or a parachute, suggests to Leela that he should hire the pilot to perform his "act" at the New Regency Theatre.
- Payne has brought a sabre-toothed tiger to 1890s London from thousands of years in the past to act as a guard. Leela breaks its neck but sustains several injuries in doing so.
- The version of Jago from several hours in the future, which is eventually rendered an alternative timeline, is killed by one of Payne's traps.
Story notes
to be added
Continuity
- There are several references to the fact that the New Regency Theatre will ultimately be destroyed at 8:47 p.m. on 12 October 1940 in "a future war." (JAL: Swan Song)
- During their brief struggle, the two versions of Jago do not seem to be affected by the Blinovitch Limitation Effect. (DW: Mawdryn Undead)
