''Invasion of Time'' is referenced in Part 2 when the Doctor revisits the swimming pool area last seen in that story. | ||

* The Doctor says the TARDIS is "full of old console rooms", evoking ''[[The Masque of Mandragora]]'', where the secondary console room was introduced. It perhaps also implies that all the old console rooms seen throughout the years still exist within the TARDIS. Indeed, at one point the Doctor goes to a part of the TARDIS that strongly resembles the [[JNT]]-era interior. At another, he goes into the [[Cloister Room]], as seen in [[Doctor Who (1996)|the TV movie]]. [[Matthew Finnegan]] later discovers the [[First Doctor]]'s console room.

Although the later TV episode [[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife]]'' would confirm that the old console rooms had been archived, it contradicts this story by establishing that the Doctor wasn't aware of this fact (it's possible he lost this memory during his regeneration). ''It doesn't contradict this story at all; The Doctor is shocked that the TARDIS has control rooms that he has not even made yet as well as the old ones.'' | ||

* At one point the Doctor spews quotes from various previous adventures. Whilst in the pool from ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'', he recalls precise lines from ''[[State of Decay]]'', ''[[The Ultimate Foe]]'', and ''[[An Unearthly Child]]''. At the same time, he is loitering in the TARDIS pool area seen in ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'', and remarks that he thought the area had been jettisoned. The scene is strongly reminiscent of the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s first moments of consciousness in ''[[Castrovalva (TV story)|Castrovalva]]'', wherein snatches of his former selves bleed through. | * At one point the Doctor spews quotes from various previous adventures.
