Notes

• In Part One, Clara Oswald, Gabriel Rosewood and the Corvids briefly appear in a flashback set during the comic story The Highgate Horror. Despite the Doctor encountering characters who are aware of Clara in stories set after Hell Bent, this is one of the only times in any media that someone else is shown explicitly remembering her.
