References
- Upon observing them, Evelyn describes the Fifth Doctor, the Seventh Doctor and the Eighth Doctor as being "lovely", seeming like "a rather jolly man" and "charming" respectively.
- The Doctor and Evelyn comment on the conspicuous absence of the Doctor's first four selves from their journey.
- The Doctor dislikes Braxiatel, whom he describes as being condescending, but does not doubt his trustworthiness.
- The Sixth Doctor has been around for less than ten years.
Notes
- The basic conceit of the story is not dissimilar to SJA: Death of the Doctor.
- After observing C'rizz, the Doctor comments that he has never had a non-humanoid companion by the time of his sixth incarnation in spite of the fact that he travelled with both K9 Mark I and K9 Mark II in his fourth incarnation for several years as well as Kamelion more briefly in his fifth incarnation.
- Although the Doctor sees Charley Pollard in the company of his future self in this story, he fails to recognise her upon meeting her formally in BFA: The Condemned, which occurs later in his personal timeline.
Continuity
- The Doctor and Evelyn see though do not necessarily meet the Fifth Doctor, Peri Brown, Erimem, the Seventh Doctor, Ace, Hex, two Eighth Doctors, Charley Pollard, C'rizz and Lucie Miller. Evelyn would later meet the Seventh Doctor formally in BFA: Thicker than Water and BFA: A Death in the Family, in which she also met Ace and Hex.
- The Doctor and Evelyn take a 'side step' and encounter the alternative Third Doctor and the Brigadier featured in DWU: Sympathy for the Devil and, subsequently, DWU: Masters of War.
- The Sixth Doctor claims that, from what he has heard, his immediate successor is "always blowing up planets." (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks).
- This story reveals that the Doctor met Bernice Summerfield prior to the events of NA: Love and War in his personal timeline. As the Sixth Doctor remains completely ignorant of the fact that Benny would later travel with him, it is logical to assume the archaeologist did not reveal this information to him in order not to disrupt the Web of Time. Likewise, in Love and War, the Seventh Doctor did not tell Benny that he had previously met her future self.
- The Doctor and Evelyn observe their past selves meeting Bernice and Irving Braxiatel on a dig being conducted by the latter's collection. Evelyn remembers sharing gin with Bernice and remarks that she "drinks like a fish." After several drinks, Benny spoke at length about her relationship problems, presumably referring to her complicated relationships with both her former husband Jason Kane and Adrian Wall as depicted in the Big Finish Bernice Summerfield series. Furthermore, the Doctor comments that Braxiatel is "up to his neck in Gallifrey."
- As observed by the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn, the Eighth Doctor met Lucie prior to the events of BFA: Blood of the Daleks in his personal timeline. A younger version of the Eighth Doctor from the period in which he was travelling with Charley Pollard and C'rizz met a future version of himself and Lucie in the American Frontier in the 1870s. In order not to disrupt the Web of Time, the Doctor did not reveal this information in Blood of the Daleks.
Timeline
All stories on 100 are assumed to take place between BFA: The Nowhere Place and Assassin in the Limelight, though their placement relative to each other is less clear other than the fact that 100 BC takes place after My Own Private Wolfgang.
