Story notes
- The phrase "The trip of a lifetime" is used at the end of the story; this references the words spoken by the Doctor to the viewing audience during the first BBC One trailer promoting the return of the series in 2005.
Continuity
- This story takes place in a short gap between Adam leaving GeoComTex with the Doctor and Rose (TV: Dalek) and his one trip to Satellite Five in the year 200,000, which ended with the Doctor sending him back home in light of his abuse of the Infospike. (TV: The Long Game)
- The Doctor has altered Rose's phone so she could call anyone in time and space. (TV: The End of the World)
- While Adam marvels at the TARDIS interior, Rose finishes his sentence by saying it's "bigger on the inside", as she had done herself. (TV: Rose) He corrects her, saying that it's dimensionally transcendental, (TV: The Robots of Death) similar to how Rory Williams will have knowledge of the concept. (TV: The Vampires of Venice)
- The Doctor refers to Adam as "pretty" again, (TV: Dalek) and as Rose's boyfriend. (TV: The Long Game) The latter confuses Rose and makes her believe he is talking about calling Mickey. The Doctor also reluctantly tells Adam he needs his help over the phone, as he'd done with Mickey. (TV: World War Three)
- The Doctor once again uses the phrases "stupid ape" (TV: Rose) and jiggery pokery. (TV: The End of the World)
- The Doctor says that Adam "reversed the polarity". (TV: The Sea Devils)
- The Doctor tells Adam that, among other things, the sonic screwdriver does shelves. (TV: The Doctor Dances)
- Rose recognises that the Doctor acknowledges the Bygone Horde just as he did the Gelth (TV: The Unquiet Dead) and the Nestene Consciousness, also victims of the Last Great Time War. (TV: Rose)
- The Doctor says that the TARDIS "..can take you anywhere in the universe. To any city on any planet, at any point in that planet's existence." His eighth incarnation offered up a near exact description of the ship. (TV: Doctor Who)
