Continuity

• This story shows what would have happened had both Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart and the Doctor died during the course of The Web of Fear.
• The Great Intelligence learns the truth of its origins; it is the imprint of a multi-dimensional being which exists in many parallel realities, including Yog-Sothoth (PROSE: Millennial Rites), the Great Old Ones (AUDIO: The Roof of the World), the Intelligence seen in HOMEVID: Downtime, and the immortal soul which began as James Lethbridge-Stewart and ascended from Mahasamatman. (PROSE: The Forgotten Son, TV: The Abominable Snowmen, The Web of Fear, The Snowmen, The Name of the Doctor)
• The Second Doctor was killed by Colonel Pemberton in the Underground. Jamie was killed while trying to get back into London with Major Douglas. Victoria is killed by Yeti, along with Captain Knight, in Croydon.
• The TARDIS remains in the Underground, and senses the disruption of the timeline. It takes on the form of a woman with blonde hair and sapphire eyes and calls herself Tessa. She mentions that she has been called 'sexy'. (TV: The Doctor's Wife)
• The events of this story take place two weeks after The Web of Fear, featuring the Intelligence that is contemporary to that story (not to be confused with the future Intelligence which travelled back from The Name of the Doctor) and is concurrent with The Forgotten Son although in a disrupted timeline.
• Reference is made to the Doctor's companions remaining in England, including Ben and Polly, and Ian and Barbara.
