Notes
to be added
Continuity
- On discovering he's in Scotland, the Doctor asks if they've had the Zygons yet. (TV: Terror of the Zygons)
- The Doctor tells Gruach that if the people knew what the Stone of Scone really was, they wouldn't go near it. (PROSE: Set in Stone)
- Kinade inquires if the blue box is bigger on the inside (TV: An Unearthly Child, et al)
History
- Lady Macbeth spits on the ground, cursing her husband's name. The Doctor jokes it might be a bit too early for that. The trope around "The Scottish play" is that no actors should utter the name Macbeth, for it will invoke bad luck.
