Notes

• In regards to the UNIT dating controversy, this story ends in 1975.
• The end of the story leads onto Terror of the Zygons while heavily implying that the Brigadier's message came immediately after the events of Revenge of the Cybermen. There are however several novels and short stories that take place in this interval, leading to a slight discontinuity unless the TARDIS returned to Nerva station or they ignored or didn't see the message for some time.

Continuity

• Harry's tampering with the Helmic regulator is mentioned. (TV: The Ark in Space)
• The TARDIS arrives in the Scottish Highlands. (TV: Terror of the Zygons)
• The TARDIS is attacked by Reapers while in the vortex. (TV: Father's Day)
• The Carrianites recall , while in the presence of Sarah Jane, how naming Martha Jones has less effect than it would on others because she was out of her time. Sarah would later meet Martha in TV: Journey's End.
