  • The Fourth Doctor previously visited London on 30 January 2025 in the company of Leela. On that occasion, he encountered the Daleks. (BFA: Energy of the Daleks)
  • The Forge's files on Hex state that he was present during the Charnage Hospital incident in the north of France during World War I in 1917. (BFA: No Man's Land)
