* Halka refers to the Doctor as a "simpleton."

* K9 is equipped with a stealth mode. He has never previously used it as "no one ever asked."

* After searching for years, Cuthbert and Mr Dorrick discovered a dimensional fissure in the universe in the [[Proxima System]]. It was only two atoms across but the Conglomerate were able to expand it exponentially. Cuthbert refers to as the [[Quantum Gateway]] and intends to use it to travel into the past. It exists in a separate universe from [[Normal Space]].

* The Daleks intend to use the Quantum Gateway for the "conquest of infinity." Their [[dimension ship]] is necessary in order to do so.

* Although the Doctor tells Romana that he can return her to [[Gallifrey]], she elects to continue travelling in the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]].

* This story contains [[Mary Tamm]]'s final performance as [[Romana I|Romana]] before her death on [[24 July]] [[2012]].

* This audio drama shares its title with Episode Four of [[TV]]: ''[[The Space Museum (TV story)|The Space Museum]]''.

* The Doctor refers to the [[Battle of Hastings]] on [[14 October]] [[1066]]. During his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]], he and his companions [[Vicki Pallister]] and [[Steven Taylor]] defeated a plot by the [[renegade Time Lord]] the [[The Monk|Monk]] to alter history by allowing the [[Saxon]]s to defeat the [[Norman]]s in the battle, thereby preventing the [[Norman Conquest]] of [[England]] from occurring. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Meddler (TV story)|The Time Meddler]]'')

* The Doctor believes that he left his [[Five Hundred Year Diary]] in the TARDIS' [[Cloister Room]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks (TV story)|The Power of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'') However, Romana tells him that it is in the [[swimming pool]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'')

* During her [[Romana II|second incarnation]], Romana would later encounter the Daleks for a second time on their homeworld [[Skaro]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]'') After leaving the TARDIS and returning to Gallifrey, she was held prisoner by the Daleks for two decades before escaping with the help of the [[Sixth Doctor]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Apocalypse Element (audio story)|The Apocalypse Element]]'') Later still, the Daleks invaded the Gallifrey of an [[Gallifrey (Forever)|alternative timeline]] while Romana was serving as its [[Lord President|Supreme Leader]] ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Arbitration (audio story)|Arbitration]]'', ''[[Extermination (audio story)|Extermination]]'').

* During the Daleks' second invasion of Gallifrey, Romana would once again encounter the Dalek Supreme. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Ascension (audio story)|Ascension]]'')
