Notes

• Like Songs of Love from Doom Coalition, this is the first Doctor-lite story in Ravenous.
• Day of the Master confirms that this story took place in the early 21st century.

Continuity

• The Doctor does not notice that a companion has become significantly older. (TV: Last Christmas)
• Liv wonders if Helen's ability to control the TARDIS has anything to do with her old link to the Sonomancer, (AUDIO: Stop the Clock) but the Doctor speculates that it's just because Helen is brilliant.
• The Doctor is able to save Bruno Werner from his past suicide because the Doctor's actions do not contradict anything that might impact how he learned about Bruno's 'death'; he will attempt a similar feat when trying to save his former companion Nyssa after hearing a rumour about the destruction of her hospital ship. (AUDIO: A Heart on Both Sides)
