== Continuity == | |||
* Donna refers to her skill at [[shorthand]]. She listed it as one of the skills of a [[temp]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Stolen Earth (TV story)}}. | |||
* Donna notes that she has a history of choosing bad men to marry. Her previous [[fiancé]] was [[Lance Bennett]], who, like in this story, planned to sacrifice her in order to resurrect the [[Racnoss]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Runaway Bride (TV story)}}. | |||
* The Doctor states that the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] is able to [[Translation circuit|translate]] all languages, as was stated on numerous other occasions such as [[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Christmas Invasion (TV story)}}, and {{cs|Cold War (TV story)}}. However, it sometimes fails due to the age of the language, as was also seen in ''The Christmas Invasion'' and [[TV]]: {{cs|The Impossible Planet (TV story)}}. | |||
* The Doctor refers to the fact that his companions leave the TARDIS to save another [[universe]]. Examples include [[Romana II]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|Warriors' Gate (TV story)}} and [[Rose Tyler]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|Doomsday (TV story)}}. They also leave after they fall in love, as happened with [[Vicki Pallister]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Myth Makers (TV story)}}, [[Jo Grant]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}}, [[Leela]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Invasion of Time (TV story)}}, [[Thomas Brewster]] in [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A Perfect World (audio story)}}, and [[Evelyn Smythe]] in [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Thicker Than Water (audio story)}}. | |||
* The Doctor says that he once had [[K9|a robot dog]] who left him twice. [[K9 Mark I]] left with Leela in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Invasion of Time (TV story)}}, while K9 Mark II left with Romana in [[TV]]: {{cs|Warriors' Gate (TV story)}}. | |||
* The Doctor notes that he was present at Donna's previous [[wedding]], which is not strictly true, but he was certainly involved in the events surrounding her wedding in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Runaway Bride (TV story)}}; and that he'll probably be present at her next. Indeed he was, though Donna no longer remembered him, as depicted in [[TV]]: {{cs|The End of Time (TV story)|part=Two}}. | |||
* Donna refers to Death as "[[Skeletor]]". She also referred to both a [[Sycorax]] in [[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Widow's Curse (comic story)}} and [[Meng Tian]] in [[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Immortal Emperor (comic story)}} as such. | |||
* The Doctor once again says, "My kingdom for a horse", as the [[Sixth Doctor]] did in [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Hollows of Time (audio story)}}. | |||
