Characters

References

  • Strax says he is almost thirteen years old, the same age as Tommy.
  • A genetic splicer is a device capable of creating new lifeforms by extracting the essence of one creature and merging it with another.
  • Jenny is referred to as Madame Vastra's wife.

Notes

  • This story served as a two-month filler to bridge the gap in the changeover between Doctors.
  • This story sees the first and, to date, only appearance of the Paternoster Gang in comic strip form. Strax later appeared in Sonic Sleuth but without Vastra and Jenny.
  • Certain references made by Strax towards the Sikh Ajeeth's turban led to a reader's letter of complaint being published in DWM 478, followed by an apology by editor Tom Spilsbury.

Continuity

  • Vastra uses the red setting on the Doctor's sonic screwdriver to make the ceiling of the greenhouse explode. River Song previously told the Tenth Doctor that his future screwdriver would have a red setting in TV: Forest of the Dead and the Eleventh Doctor's screwdriver had a red setting by the time of TV: Cold War.
  • Tommy thanks Strax for a glass of milk, to which Strax proudly replies he made it himself. Strax previously stated he had gene-spliced himself for all types of nursing duties and could produce magnificent amounts of lactic fluid. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)
  • Strax notes he is almost thirteen years old, thus this story can be said to take place about a year, from Strax's perspective, after A Good Man Goes to War where, facing what he thought was his death, Strax told Rory Williams that he had a good life at "nearly twelve".
