Continuity
- Amy Pond calls the Doctor "Raggedy man". (TV: The Eleventh Hour, The Big Bang, The Girl Who Waited)
- The Doctor used some of his regenerative energy to repair River Song's hand. He did this before when recharging the last power source in the TARDIS after it travelled to a Parallel World. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen)
- In response to the Doctor healing her hand, River exclaims "You embarrass me!" much like the Doctor did in The Wedding of River Song
- The afterword Amy wrote in Melody Malone's book was a message for the Doctor, which made reference to various adventures the Doctor and Amy had had together: saving a whale in space (TV: The Beast Below), fighting pirates (TV: The Curse of the Black Spot), changing the life of a great artist (TV: Vincent and the Doctor), and falling in love with a man who would wait 2000 years for her. (TV: The Big Bang)
- The Doctor returns to meet a young Amelia Pond the morning after he left her waiting in the garden in The Eleventh Hour to tell her about the adventures they will have together. The older Amy was dreaming about that morning when the Doctor came back to pick her up the night before her wedding at the end of The Eleventh Hour. Steven Moffat said of the scene, "After showing Amelia Pond in the garden as a young girl in The Eleventh Hour, Karen's first episode, the final shot in Saturday's The Angels Take Manhattan is a punchline I have been waiting to tell for two and a half years."
- River mentions that she was pardoned from prison because the man she killed never existed. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut (TV story), TV: The Wedding of River Song) Oswin erased the Doctor from the Daleks' memories in TV: Asylum of the Daleks (TV story).
- River says that she is a professor now. (TV: Silence in the Library)
- While on the roof contemplating jumping, Rory makes a reference to his ability to die multiple times and still survive. (TV: Amy's Choice, Cold Blood, The Curse of the Black Spot, The Doctor's Wife)
