References
- In the 16th century, it was believed that hiccups result from an "imbalance of the humours", but Liz knows they're most often a symptom of indigestion.
- The King almost threatens Liz with a death sentence.
- Rudimentary glasses have already been invented by 1539, though the King is too vain to wear them.
- Henry III has cataracts, rendering him "practically blind", but the Doctor cures him of this ailment with his sonic screwdriver.
Notes
- This may be the earliest chronological use of the Third Doctor's sonic screwdriver. It may also be the first known use of the sonic in a medical capacity: in this case, to cure Henry III of his cataracts.
