* The teleport system on the Titanic is very reminiscent of the one used on the ''Liberator'' in the 1970s series ''[[Blake's 7]]'' in that it uses similarly styled bracelets. | * The teleport system on the Titanic is very reminiscent of the one used on the ''Liberator'' in the 1970s series ''[[Blake's 7]]'' in that it uses similarly styled bracelets. | ||
* | * It is explained in the final scenes of [[TV]]: ''[[Time Crash]]'' that the ''Titanic'' collided with the TARDIS because the Doctor left its shields down. ''Time Crash'' occurs immediately before the collision, which means the very first shot of the Doctor walking around the TARDIS (before the crash) occurs within moments of the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s departure. However we do not hear the earlier Doctor's admonition to the Tenth Doctor to "Put your shields up". | ||
* This episode marks the last of the continuous arc (the end of one episode immediately leading into another) that starts in the ''Torchwood'' episode ''[[Captain Jack Harkness (TV story)|Captain Jack Harkness]]'' and switches over to ''Doctor Who'' in ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'' and covers the span of just over a year in the Doctor's life. | |||
* Reference is made to the two previous Christmas specials, [[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'' and ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'', with brief clips from both. | |||
