Notes
- This story was created to answer the questions of why the Doctor was with the Daniels Family in Rose.
Continuity
- The Doctor whispers "no more" while unconscious. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
- The Doctor being with the Daniels Family was part of conspiracy-theorist Clive Finch's investigations into the Doctor in Rose. Clive had previously met the Twelfth Doctor on an adventure as a child, but had his memories of the future and the adventure removed by him (PROSE: The Persistence of Memory).
- The Titanic's sinking was a key part of the Web of Time, and featured in the Doctor's history. The Seventh Doctor, Ace and Bernice Summerfield were on the Titanic (PROSE: The Left-Handed Hummingbird), the Ninth Doctor had been on the ship and clung to an iceberg (TV: The End of the World), and the Eleventh Doctor was on the Titanic shortly before he visited Klimtenburg (PROSE: Plague of the Cybermen). Separately, the Master also travelled on the ship (AUDIO: Mastermind), and both John Hart and Jack Harkness appeared on the Titanic to claim a diamond that was lost during the disaster (AUDIO: The Death of Captain Jack).
- Connie Daniels said "Fantastic" to the Doctor when he awoke from unconsciousness. The Doctor would pick that up as his catchphrase for the rest of his incarnation (TV: Rose, Aliens of London, Father's Day, The Doctor Dances).
- William Spence picked up an alien weapon in Cardiff near the waterfront after it appeared in 'a brief flash of light'. This seems likely to refer to the Cardiff Space-Time Rift (TV: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, COMIC: Rift War!)
