Continuity
- Shortly after their arrival in 1666, the Doctor and Sarah narrowly avoid being run over by an oddly dressed figure in a heavily loaded cart. Unbeknownst to either of them, he is the Terileptil leader who was being pursued by the Fifth Doctor. Shortly afterwards, his weapon would overload and trigger the Great Fire of London. (TV: The Visitation)
- The Doctor would later refer to being accused of starting the Great Fire in the final scene of TV: Pyramids of Mars.
- In the Doctor's first incarnation, the TARDIS materialised in London, specifically outside the burning house of George Mortimer, shortly after the Great Fire began. The First Doctor proceeded to rescue George, his wife Helen and their children Ida and Alan and took them on a trip to the Andromeda Galaxy in the far future. It is possible that, for a brief period after the First Doctor's arrival in 1666, that there were three separate incarnations of the Doctor co-existing in the same timeframe and in close proximity to one another.

- The renegade Time Lady Iris Wildthyme would later claim to have been present at the Great Fire. (AUDIO: Excelis Dawns)
