* [[Victoria Waterfield]] is mentioned as off studying [[graphology]], but the Doctor and Jamie will return for her after their mission is complete. However, the novel ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]'' reveals that this is an entire fiction — a lie implanted in Jamie's mind by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]]. | * [[Victoria Waterfield]] is mentioned as off studying [[graphology]], but the Doctor and Jamie will return for her after their mission is complete.

* In the opening sequence, the Doctor and Jamie are standing in a [[console room]] very different to the one used in the Troughton era. In fact, it was the console room used immediately prior to ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''. ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]'' hints that this modern-to-the-Second-Doctor console room — and the [[Stattenheim remote control]] — were the result of a "complete overhaul" that the CIA did on his TARDIS as a sort of reward for his good performance in the ''World Game'' mission. However, they also installed a [[teleport control]] at the same time, over the Doctor's protest. | * In the opening sequence, the Doctor and Jamie are standing in a [[console room]] very different to the one used in the Troughton era.

* The scene where the Sixth Doctor poisons Shockeye is one of the few times that the Doctor has deliberately taken a life face-to-face. Other examples have included the killing of [[Mehendri Solon]] (also using cyanide) in [[TV]]: ''[[The Brain of Morbius]]'', shooting an [[Ogron]] in ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'', extinguishing the [[Primord]]s of [[Bromley]] and [[Stahlman]] in ''[[Inferno (TV story)|Inferno]]'', shooting several Sontarans with the [[De-mat Gun]] in ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'' and the shooting of the [[Cyber-Leader (Mondas)|Cyber-Leader]] in ''[[Earthshock]]'' and ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'' as well as the [[Cyber-Controller]] in the latter serial. In all cases, these were in self-defence (he also swaps a bomb over blowing up the [[Graff Vynda-K]] in ''[[The Ribos Operation]]'' and sabotages a machine, killing [[Jaeger (The Mutants)|Jaeger]] in ''[[The Mutants (TV story)|The Mutants]]'' along with debate as to whether or not he delibrately kills two guards by pushing them into an acid bath in ''[[Vengeance on Varos (TV story)|Vengance on Varos]]''); the First Doctor once mentioned that he only took life when his own was sufficiently threatened.

* When the Second and Sixth Doctors come face-to-face, they both say "Snap!", referring to the {{w|Snap (card game)|children's card game}} in which players must say "Snap!" when two of the same card are played. Later, the [[Tenth Doctor]] says "Snap!" to the [[Fifth Doctor]] when he puts on his "brainy specs" and [[River Song]] says "Snap!" to the Tenth Doctor when she shows him her [[sonic screwdriver]].
