Continuity
- The Doctor uses his sonic sunglasses. (TV:The Witch's Familiar)
- The remains of a Tivolian appears. (TV:The God Complex)
- The Doctor has previously landed in an underwater base, in which he met with a crew that were tackling a threat that would re-animate the dead crew. (GAME: Shadows of the Vashta Nerada)
- The Doctor uses his psychic paper as proof of ID. (TV: The End of the World et al)
- The psychic paper tells them that he works for UNIT.
- One of the Doctor's apology cue cards says: "It was my fault, I should have known you didn't live in Aberdeen". The Fourth Doctor dropped Sarah Jane Smith off in that city, rather than South Croydon. (TV: The Hand of Fear, School Reunion)
- Another of the cue cards says: "No one is going to be eaten / vapourised / exterminated / upgraded / possessed / mortally wounded / turned to jelly. We'll all get out of this unharmed." "Exterminated" is a reference to the Daleks, (TV: The Daleks et.al.) "upgraded" is a reference to the Cybermen, (TV: The Tenth Planet et.al.) and "possessed" is a reference to Satan. (TV: The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit)
- When the Doctor goes back on his insistance that the phantoms of the dead aren't ghosts, he notes that they aren't flesh avatars, (TV: The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People) Autons, (TV: Spearhead from Space et.al.) or "digital copies bouncing around the Nethersphere." (TV: Dark Water/Death in Heaven)
- The Cloister Bell can be heard ringing throughout the base. (TV: Logopolis, Resurrection of the Daleks et al)
