* The [[second Doctor]] and [[Ben Jackson|Ben]] have an especially contentious relationship here, perhaps because the second Doctor is generally characterised throughout [[Doctor Who Annual 1968|this annual]] as being considerably more like the televised [[first Doctor]]. At one point, the Doctor threatens to abandon Ben "in some world filled with loathsome monsters [where] you may begin to feel at home at last." Their extreme discord, however, is a essentially a {{w|plot device}}.

* The Doctor gives the world the name "Arcady", after an alternate spelling of {{w|Arcadia (utopia)|Arcadia}}. This was also the name of a [[Arcadia|world]] oft-mentioned by the [[tenth Doctor|tenth]] and [[eleventh Doctor]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doomsday]]'', ''[[Vincent and the Doctor]]'') The ''actual'' name of the planet, at least according to its inhabitants, is "[[Harmony (planet)|Harmony]]".
* The Doctor gives the world the name "Arcady", after an alternate spelling of {{w|Arcadia (utopia)|Arcadia}}. This was also the name of a [[Arcadia (planet)|world]] visited by the [[Seventh Doctor]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Deceit]]'') The ''actual'' name of the planet, at least according to its inhabitants, is "[[Harmony (planet)|Harmony]]".
* The Doctor suggests the [[Milky Way]] is his home galaxy. This is consistent with later ''Doctor Who'' fiction, but the preferred ''Doctor Who'' term is "[[Mutter's Spiral]]". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies]]'')
