The Flood was the second audio story in the anthology Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon.

Publisher's summary

Making another leap with a new companion, Rose finds a world suffering environmental change. The rain won't stop, and the government could be hiding the scale of the impending disaster.

While Rose connects with another version of Pete and a strangely compelling young man, Clive meets someone special of his own. In this world, there was no Clive for Caroline to meet, but love can cross dimensions.

Continuity

• Rose notes that Harriet Jones won the election in her universe. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)
• Clive is aware of his N-Space counterpart's fate. (TV: Rose)
• Rose thinks that the Doctor is "a one-off", with no alternate versions to be found at all in parallel universes. In fact, many alternate universes do have their own versions of the Doctor, whose timelines, morals and personalities varied greatly. (TV: Inferno, COMIC: Who's Who?, PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation, The Blue Angel, COMIC: The Glorious Dead, AUDIO: Auld Mortality, Sympathy for the Devil, Full Fathom Five, Exile, Disassembled, Forever, The Library in the Body, False Negative) Conversely, a race of alternate universe Cybermen remained ignorant of the Time Lords despite occupying a number of realities. (AUDIO: Master of Worlds)
• Rose tells Clive that "some days are worth getting your heart broken for". She was once told a very similar thing herself by Sarah Jane Smith. (TV: School Reunion)
