References
- Strax says he is almost thirteen years old, the same age as Tommy.
- A genetic splicer is a device capable of creating new lifeforms by extracting the essence of one creature and merging it with another.
- Jenny is referred to as Madame Vastra's wife.
Notes
- This story would appear to have been written as a two-month filler to bridge the gap in the changeover between Doctors. Doctor Who Magazine would by this time no longer be able to use Matt Smith's Doctor in the comic strip, and also would not have been allowed to show Peter Capaldi before he had appeared on television in his first season as the Doctor.
- This story sees the first and, to date, only appearance of the Paternoster Gang in comic strip form.
Continuity
- Vastra uses the red setting on the Doctor's sonic screwdriver to make the ceiling of the greenhouse explode. River Song previously told the Tenth Doctor that his future screwdriver would have a red setting in TV: Forest of the Dead and the Eleventh Doctor's screwdriver had a red setting by the time of TV: Cold War.
- Tommy thanks Strax for a glass of milk, to which Strax proudly replies he made it himself. Strax previously stated he had gene-spliced himself for all types of nursing duties and could produce magnificent amounts of lactic fluid. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)
