- Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843.
- In the 1996 Decalog 3, short stories collection, writer Steven Moffat contributed a story called ‘Continuity Errors, a story in which the Seventh Doctor went back into somebody’s earlier life (in this case a Librarian’s), changing events that would change what sort of person they became in later years. This is similar to the Eleventh Doctors relationship with Kazran Sardick.
