Characters
References
- The Doctor and Donna see The Beatles, Donna gets a CD signed.
- The Humanoid dogs are similar to the other upright animal variations namely: Human Badgers and Catkind.
- The Doctor mentions Emergency Programme One, Donna uses a similar device to also record.
Notes
- Rather than show a complete adventure this comic strip shows various parts of many of Donna's adventures that lead into each other via what characters say.
Continuity
- The Zyglots appear, they previously appeared in DWM: Polly the Glot.
- In Donna's message to the Doctor, she refers to their first meeting in The Runaway Bride.
Time line
- There is no immediate indication of where any of the trips take place in the Series 4 time line. It was implied in The Sontaran Stratagem that the only trips taken so far were ones broadcast, thus these adventures would probably take place after The Doctor's Daughter.
- The final scene in the Tardis shows Donna talking to the Doctor through a recording in the Tardis, so that must be after she leaves in Journey's End
