*If the episode is canonical, nothing in the episode suggests when - in the Tenth Doctor's chronology - it takes place, as it contains no references to companions or other events (unlike preceding mini-episodes). The Doctor is also seen wearing the blue suit which he appears to give the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]] in ''[[Journey's End]]''. However, it is possible the Doctor has a spare blue suit, which seems to be correct as in the trailer for [[The Waters of Mars]] the Doctor wears his blue suit. The storyline could take place during any period when the Doctor is travelling alone; his upbeat mood, however, could be taken as evidence that it takes place at some point prior to ''[[Partners in Crime]]'', perhaps after ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'' or after ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]''; alternately it could take place a significant amount of time after ''[[Journey's End]]'' (as ''[[The Next Doctor]]'' is said to). Alternately, the fact the [[Doctor's hand|Doctor's severed hand]] is no longer visible in the console room is possible evidence the story takes place post-''[[Journey's End]]'' or pre-''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]''. | *If the episode is canonical, nothing in the episode suggests when - in the Tenth Doctor's chronology - it takes place, as it contains no references to companions or other events (unlike preceding mini-episodes).

*The Doctor breaks the [[fourth wall]] in the course of this episode by directly addressing the audience in the Royal Albert Hall. The [[First Doctor]], also broke the fourth wall by wishing the audience a "Merry Christmas" in "The Feast of Steven"([[DW]]:''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]''), while the [[Fourth Doctor]] made a fourth wall-breaking comment about his [[sonic screwdriver]] in [[DW]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]''. The Tenth Doctor also addressed the viewer directly throughout ''[[Attack of the Graske]]''. | *The Doctor breaks the [[fourth wall]] in the course of this episode by directly addressing the audience in the Royal Albert Hall.
