References
- Turlough sarcastically refers to Grayling Frimlish as "Oscar Wilde".
- The Doctor once had to broker negotiations between two branches of the Royal Dynasties of the Eisenblatt system. One branch had a genetic glitch which meant that they were living backwards through time. As a result, the two branches were approaching the same century from either end. The Doctor noted that this made coronations and abdications complicated.
- The Third Doctor and Jo Grant once got into a dangerous situation involving a number of giant tortoises which was caused by the Master.
- Frimlish's story involves the Infernal Flaming Spectres from the Catacombs of Utter Dreadfulness, the Moss Demons of the Sussurating Swamps, and Desmond the Ogre.
