Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Henry Wainwright is a 12-year-old neighbour to Madame Vastra, living at Number 12.
- To demonstrate the seriousness of her statement, Vastra refers to Jenny as "Jennifer".
Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The events depicted in A Perfect Christmas are repeatedly stated to be taking place at Christmas 1885. However Vastra and Jenny did not meet Strax, or participate in the Battle of Demons Run, until 1888, as depicted in A Good Man Goes to War. As the Paternoster Gang have already celebrated Christmas together at least once, in The Red-Eyed League, the earliest that A Perfect Christmas can take place is 1889. Nevertheless, The Red-Eyed League indeed dated itself to 1884, in spite of the 1888 forging of the Paternoster Gang and this story's hints at adventures post-The Snowmen which would date it even later. Though there have been various dating controversies in the Whoniverse, this is the first known to be related to the Paternoster Gang.
