Continuity

• The Valeyard performs scenes of the Doctor's past regenerations on stage at the theatre company: a frail man, a trial with a computer genius and a Scotsman, giant spiders in an army base, falling from a great height, and being poisoned. (TV: The Tenth Planet, The War Games, Planet of the Spiders, Logopolis, The Caves of Androzani) More theatrical versions of dialogue originally spoken in these stories are presented here.
• Jago and Litefoot recall previously meeting the Doctor with a different face. (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang, AUDIO: The Justice of Jalxar)
• The Valeyard uses the pseudonym of Timothy Yardvale, which both recalls the name he previously used. (AUDIO: The End of the Line)
