If you'd like to talk about narrative problems with this story — like plot holes and things that seem to contradict other stories — please go to this episode's discontinuity discussion.
- As the Doctor is standing in the TARDIS doorway watching Yaz and Gabriela leave, it is obvious that the interior of the TARDIS is just a photo pasted onto the back wall.
Continuity
- Team TARDIS are investigating the three separate distress signals received by the TARDIS. (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon)
- The Doctor briefly entertains the possibility that the Autons might have taken over the world's plastic. In fact, the Nestene Consciousness recently did take over the North Atlantic garbage patch, with ongoing plans for world domination through Bakin Petrochemicals. Rhys Williams took care of this threat in the short term. (AUDIO: Sargasso)
- Team TARDIS use comm dots. (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum)
