Notes

to be added

Continuity

• The Doctor verifies the groups time and location by touch. (TV: The Christmas Invasion, et al.)
  • When the Doctor touches the soil upon arriving in North Carolina, Yaz worries she's going to eat it again. (TV: It Takes You Away)
• The Doctor warns a flock of sheep grazing outside the TARDIS that she's "watching" them and to "keep the plotting to a minimum". (TV: It Takes You Away)
• The Doctor says an old friend taught her that you can save just one person during established historical events. (TV: The Fires of Pompeii)
• As the Doctor explains that running is sometimes the bravest thing you can do, she remembers the Kerb!am Man, (TV: Kerblam!) Becka Savage possessed by the Morax, (TV: The Witchfinders) and Mount Vesuvius erupting. (TV: The Fires of Pompeii)
• Ryan suggests that the Habsburg's horses could be aliens, leading Graham to wonder if "alien horses" could really be a thing. The Tenth Doctor once encountered a Zygon disguised as a horse. (TV: The Day of the Doctor) The Twelfth Doctor once travelled with Jata, an Osumaran. Osumarans resemble horses. (COMIC: From the Horse's Mouth, Fear Buds, Royal Wedding)
• It's been "the best part of a decade" since Schulz and Perkins first met the Doctor from their perspective. From the Doctor's point of view, it's been "more like a week or ten". (COMIC: A New Beginning)
• The Doctor fears she's about to cross her own timeline, which could either unleash reapers (TV: Father's Day), or create a black hole. (TV: Time Crash)
• Graham wonders if the Doctor has ever left any body parts lying around; she says yes, but it's "off in another reality these days". (TV: The Christmas Invasion, Journey's End)
• The Doctor expresses disappointment that Perkins seems to have forgotten her dislike of guns. (COMIC: A New Beginning)
• Ryan cites the paradox of inadvertently inspiring the H3 podcast that they were already fans of as being "a little too "timey wimey"" for him, echoing the Doctor. (TV: Blink, et al)
