From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Characters
References
- The name Uncle Bloodfinger is very similar to Mother Doomfinger, who featured in The Shakespeare Code, an episode released not long after the comic wherein witches attempt to free other trapped witches. The dialog and presentation of the enemies speaking while watching the writer work is similar to several parts of The Shakespeare Code. Both were written by the same author, Gareth Roberts.
- A tavern sign features a picture of a wolf's head and the initials "B.W.", a reference to the Bad Wolf story arc that is resolved in The Parting Of The Ways.
Notes
- Final DWM comic strip to feature the Ninth Doctor. With this strip, the Ninth Doctor becomes the only incarnation in the history of the DWM strip to be shown sharing adventures with only a single companion throughout his tenure.
Continuity
- Shakespeare first appears in Doctor Who in "The Executioners," the first episode of DW: The Chase.
- The Doctor claims to have written out the first draft of Hamlet in DW: City of Death, as Shakespeare had sprained his wrist writting sonnets.
