Continuity

• This story claims that, due to the second Big Bang established in TV: The Big Bang ^[+]Loading...["The Big Bang (TV story)"], the events of TV: Aliens of London ^[+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"] and World War Three ^[+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"] were affected by the universal reboot. While The Big Bang implied these events were restored to Earth's timeline following the cracks in time, they were inevitably ignored to maintain the status quo of the real world — that humans are unaware of the existence of aliens — so this story aligns with the idea that the reboot of the universe did have subtle ramifications of the status of Earth's timeline, seen in works such as PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual ^[+]Loading...["Dalek Combat Training Manual (reference book)"] and The Mandela Effect, Or Monsters on the Streets of London ^[+]Loading...["The Mandela Effect, Or Monsters on the Streets of London (short story)"], with the caveat that select individuals could retain their memories.
  • An earlier story in the same annual, PROSE: Top Secret! ^[+]Loading...["Top Secret! (short story)"], implied a similar situation when the Thirteenth Doctor superciliously questioned why the human readers of her prison diary did not remember the Battle of Canary Wharf. In spite of this, PROSE: Creepy Clones and Deadly Duplicates ^[+]Loading...["Creepy Clones and Deadly Duplicates (short story)"] has Leo Rugazzi cite government cover-ups for the lack of information surrounding the 1970s/80s Auton invasion and the 2008 Sontaran invasion. However, it is explicit that Leo was relying on second-hand information from Jack Robertson, so he is potentially incorrect.
