* As in [[DW]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'' and, later, [[DW]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'', the TARDIS wardrobe features the outfits of several earlier incarnations. In particular, Erimem encounters the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s [[The Doctor's scarf|scarf]] and [[hat]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'', et. al.), the [[Second Doctor]]'s furry overcoat ([[DW]]: ''[[The Abominable Snowmen (TV story)|The Abominable Snowman]]'', [[DW]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') and the [[Third Doctor]]'s ruffled shirts and smoking jackets ([[DW]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'', et. al).

Of the three, the Fifth Doctor seems fondest of the scarf — which he describes as "useful" but cumbersome as he tended to trip over it. The furry coat is described as being made of polyester rather than animal skin and as having come from the [[planet]] [[Thraxis]]. He expresses positive embarrassment at her discovery of the kind of clothes he wore in his third life. | ||

* Shayde is again seen here as an agent of the Time Lords, working both for them and, to an extent, with the Doctor. He is described as having the ability to remove his dome-like "head" and absorb things into himself. He is given a male voice, a gender assignment not entirely clear in the comics, especially after he merged with [[Fey Truscott-Sade]] to become the more feminine combined being, [[Feyde]]. | * Shayde is again seen here as an agent of the Time Lords, working both for them and, to an extent, with the Doctor.

* Similar to a conversation between the Second Doctor and Victoria in [[DW]]: ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)|The Tomb of the Cybermen]]'', the Fifth Doctor speaks to Erimem about his memories of his family. He says that he does not, in fact, think of his family very much at all, save for occasional thoughts of his granddaughter [[Susan Campbell|Susan Foreman]]. | * Similar to a conversation between the Second Doctor and Victoria in [[DW]]: ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)|The Tomb of the Cybermen]]'', the Fifth Doctor speaks to Erimem about his memories of his family.

His [[Second Doctor|previous incarnation]] had encountered the Emperor towards the end of his life in [[BC|210 BC]]. Since his companions, [[Jamie McCrimmon]] and [[Victoria Waterfield]], discovered the Terracotta Army on that occasion, this would seem to indicate that the Doctor delivered them at an earlier point in the Emperor's personal timeline.
