Production errors

• When the TARDIS phone rings, no one is standing at the TARDIS console. When it cuts to Amy answering the phone, she is standing in a position that was vacant in the previous shot.
• The water level of the goldfish bowl varies from shot to shot. Its lowest level is the close-angle shot of the bowl as the Doctor addresses the goldfish.

Continuity

• The opening shot of the TARDIS interior as the phone rings is similar to the opening shot for the prequel to DW: Let's Kill Hitler.
• Amy is seen wearing her nightie and dressing gown ensemble. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, DW: The Beast Below)
• The TARDIS phone was previously called by another British historical figure, Winston Churchill. (DW: The Beast Below, DW: Victory of the Daleks)
• Queen Elizabeth II has been transformed into a goldfish. She previously appeared in DW: Voyage of the Damned and, via archive footage, in DW: The Idiot's Lantern. She was also mentioned in DW: Planet of the Dead (TV story).
• The Doctor denies sneaking away at night to be with River Song, which he subsequently contradicts when Amy asks how River's doing. The Doctor spending his nights with River is the theme of four of the five "Night and the Doctor" shorts, and is also touched upon towards the end of DW: The Wedding of River Song.

Timeline

For the Doctor

Placement for this story for the Doctor, Amy and Rory is difficult as no indication of when it takes place is provided. However given Amy's unease, and given the question she asks the Doctor during "Good Night", the following "Night and the Doctor" short, one can presume the following placement.

• This story occurs after: DW: Time
• This story occurs some time before: DW: Good Night

For River Song

• This story occurs at some indeterminate point after: DW: Let's Kill Hitler
