 == Continuity ==
-* It is explained in the final scenes of [[TV]]: ''[[Time Crash]]'' that the ''Titanic'' collided with the TARDIS because the Doctor left its shields down. ''Time Crash'' occurs immediately before the collision, which means the very first shot of the Doctor walking around the TARDIS (before the crash) occurs within moments of the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s departure. However we do not hear the earlier Doctor's admonition to the Tenth Doctor to "Put your shields up".
-* This episode marks the last of the continuous arc (the end of one episode immediately leading into another) that starts in the ''Torchwood'' episode ''[[Captain Jack Harkness (TV story)|Captain Jack Harkness]]'' and switches over to ''Doctor Who'' in ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'' and covers the span of just over a year in the Doctor's life.
-* Reference is made to the two previous Christmas specials, [[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'' and ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'', with brief clips from both.
 * [[Copper (Voyage of the Damned)|Mr Copper]]'s comments on [[Rickston Slade]] being a somewhat unwanted survivor mimic those of [[Stevenson]], speaking about [[Kellman]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen]]'')
 * The Doctor meets someone named [[Alonso Frame|Alonso]], allowing him to use the phrase "Allons-y Alonso", which he stated in [[TV]]: ''[[Army of Ghosts]]'' he'd like to try.
 * The Doctor mentions that his [[tuxedo]] is unlucky, referring to the fact he wore the same outfit in [[TV]]: ''[[The Lazarus Experiment]]'' and ''[[Rise of the Cybermen]]'' / ''[[The Age of Steel]]'', both of which resulted in life-and-death struggles.
-* [[Alonso Frame]] appears again in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' in a bar with Captain Jack.
+* [[Alonso Frame]] appears again in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'' in a bar with [[Jack Harkness]].
 * The Doctor is known to Queen Elizabeth (she is heard referring to him as Doctor), and utters a code word to evacuate the Palace and the Queen. This is quite a contrast from his relationship with her ancestor Victoria in [[TV]]: ''[[Tooth and Claw (TV story)|Tooth and Claw]]'', but quite consistent with previous references that the Doctor and QE2 have a friendly relationship. ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis]]'') The Doctor later parks the TARDIS in her garden and tells UNIT that the Queen doesn't mind, further reinforcing this. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]'')
 * There are more than a few references to [[TV]]: ''[[The Robots of Death]]'': the robots chanting, "Kill, Kill, Kill" in monotone and the hand of the robot being stuck in the bridge's door and being subsequently cut off. The Hosts also play a similar subservient role to the robots in the earlier story.

 * Max Capricorn's parting words to the Doctor, "This interview is terminated", is the exact phrase used by [[the Collector]] to end a conversation with [[Hade|Gatherer Hade]] in [[TV]]: ''[[The Sun Makers]]''. The Collector is also an employee of a corporation concerned only with profit, and bears some resemblance to Max.
 * The Doctor mentions himself being homeless and staying on Earth, referencing his exile from Gallifrey in his [[Third Doctor|third incarnation]].
-* Mr. Copper implies that he wants to travel with the Doctor, but the Doctor declines, stating he travels alone. This same rationale is given when he refuses [[Christina de Souza]]'s request to join him in ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]''.

-* The Doctor tells the Host to "take me to your leader", remarking, "I've always wanted to say that". He previously used the phrase in ''[[The Horns of Nimon]]'', ''[[The Keeper of Traken]]'', ''[[Four to Doomsday]]'', ''[[The Happiness Patrol]]'' and ''[[Aliens of London]]'' and used a similarly worded phrase in saying, "Take me to your [[Vida Swann|Vida]]" ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Feast of the Drowned]]'') then later "takes us to your leader" as said by the Eleventh Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]]'')

-* An online comic strip, ''[[Escape to Penhaxico]]'', takes place two months after the events of this story and reveals details involving Capricorn's "exit strategy" after destroying the ''Titanic''.

-* After Rickston displays callous behavior as he walks away from the Titanic's voyage, Mr. Copper points out to the Doctor that, although Rickston would not have been the one person he would have chosen to survive, if the Doctor could decide who lived and who died, it would make him a monster. This foreshadows the impossible decision he is forced to make to destroy the [[Pyrovile]]s in [[Pompeii]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii]]'') Alternatively, it also precludes his selfish attempts to alter the course of history on [[Bowie Base One]] in [[TV]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars]].
+* The Doctor remarks that [[Bannakaffalatta]]'s name is too long and asks if he can call him "Banna", similar to [[TV]]: ''[[The Ribos Operation]]'' when the Fourth Doctor states that the name Romanadvoratrelundar is too long and suggests either [[Romana]] or Fred.
