References

Continuity

• According to the Daleks, their civil war (TV: The Evil of the Daleks) ended in the termination of the rebel Humanised Daleks. The Dalek Emperor is still alive. The Doctor would learn some of the humanised Daleks had left Skaro in the chaos of the war's end. (COMIC: Children of the Revolution)
• While things are peaceful, Victoria welcomes the change from "the horrors of the London Underground." (TV: The Web of Fear.)
• Victoria refers to the secret war the Doctor and Daleks seem to be waging. She wonders about the lengths the Doctor would go to destroy the Daleks and what price he would pay in doing so, foreshadowing the Last Great Time War.

• Victoria Waterfield's journal entry occurs after TV: Fury from the Deep.
