References
- According to Payne, this story takes place in "1890, give or take a few years."
- Sgt Quick tells Professor Litefoot that the Metropolitan Police Service is issuing the cover story that the metal spheres are a stunt by a group of Bohemian artists.
- According to Quick, the police have interviewed the Irish author and playwright Oscar Wilde.
- As a result of the time breaks, Leela and Jago find a 20th century radio playing a BBC shipping broadcast. They later see a British spitfire and a German Messerschmitt fighting each other in the sky over 1890s London which had come from the Blitz in the early 1940s.
- Payne has brought a sabre-toothed tiger to 1890s London from thousands of years in the past to act as a guard. Leela breaks its neck but sustains several injuries in doing so.
- The version of Jago from several hours in the future, which is eventually rendered an alternative timeline, is killed by one of Payne's traps.
Story notes

Continuity
- There are several references to the fact that the New Regency Theatre will ultimately be destroyed at 8:47 p.m. on 12 October 1940 in "a future war." (AUDIO: Swan Song)
- During their brief struggle, the two versions of Jago do not seem to be affected by the Blinovitch Limitation Effect. (TV: Day of the Daleks, Mawdryn Undead)
- Leela previously saw recreations of a British spitfire and a German Messerschmidt in the Morovanian Museum on Morovania Minor. (AUDIO: The Renaissance Man)
- It would later be revealed that Leela was unable to return to Gallifrey using her Time Ring as the interference from Payne's temporal experiments had prevented it from functioning. Furthermore, the experiments dragged both the Sixth Doctor's TARDIS and a Temparon vessel to the 1890s. (AUDIO: The Hourglass Killers)
