* The Sontarans previously appeared in [[TV]]: ''[[The Time Warrior]]'', ''[[The Sontaran Experiment]]'' and ''[[The Invasion of Time]]''. This was to be their final appearance for twenty-three years, until [[TV]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem]]''.
* The Sontarans previously showed interest in [[Time Lord]]s and obtaining their technology. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Warrior (TV story)|The Time Warrior]]'',''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'')
* This is chronologically the earliest point in the Doctor's personal timestream that he has been seen to encounter the Sontarans. The Third Doctor demonstrated knowledge of the Sontarans when he encountered [[Linx]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Warrior]]'')
* This is chronologically the earliest point in the Doctor's personal timestream that he has been seen to encounter the Sontarans. The Third Doctor demonstrated knowledge of the Sontarans when he encountered [[Linx]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Warrior (TV story)|The Time Warrior]]'')
* As detailed in ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]'', this is the [[Second Doctor]]'s second mission for the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]].  For him, the events of ''The Two Doctors'' are set relatively soon after ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]''.   
* As detailed in ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]'', this is the [[Second Doctor]]'s second mission for the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]].  For him, the events of ''The Two Doctors'' are set relatively soon after ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]''.   
* [[Victoria Waterfield]] is mentioned as off studying [[graphology]], but the Doctor and Jamie will return for her after their mission is complete.  However, the novel ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]'' reveals that this is an entire fiction — a lie implanted in Jamie's mind by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]].
* The Doctor continues a tradition of enjoying fishing. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Androids of Tara (TV story)|The Androids of Tara]]'', ''[[The Talons of Weng-Chiang (TV story)|The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]'')
* In the opening sequence, the Doctor and Jamie are standing in a [[console room]] very different to the one used in the Troughton era.  In fact, it was the console room used immediately prior to [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''. ''[[World Game (novel)|World Game]]'' hints that this modern-to-the-Second-Doctor console room — and the [[Stattenheim remote control]] — were the result of a "complete overhaul" that the CIA did on his TARDIS as a sort of reward for his good performance in the ''World Game'' mission. However, they also installed a [[teleport control]] at the same time, over the Doctor's protest.
* The scene where the Sixth Doctor poisons Shockeye is one of the few times that the Doctor has deliberately taken a life face-to-face. Other examples have included the killing of [[Mehendri Solon]] (also using cyanide) in [[TV]]: ''[[The Brain of Morbius]]'', shooting an [[Ogron]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'', extinguishing the [[Primord]]s of [[John Bromley|Bromley]] and [[Stahlman]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Inferno (TV story)|Inferno]]'', shooting several Sontarans with the [[De-mat Gun]] in [[TV]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'' and the shooting of the [[Cyber-Leader (Mondas)|Cyber-Leader]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Earthshock]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'' as well as the [[Cyber-Controller]] in the latter serial. In all cases, these were in self-defence (he also swaps a bomb over blowing up the [[Graff Vynda-K]] in [[TV]]: ''[[The Ribos Operation]]'' and sabotages a machine, killing [[Jaeger (The Mutants)|Jaeger]] in [[TV]]: ''[[The Mutants (TV story)|The Mutants]]'' along with debate as to whether or not he delibrately kills two guards by pushing them into an acid bath in [[TV]]: ''[[Vengeance on Varos (TV story)|Vengance on Varos]]''); the First Doctor once mentioned that he only took life when his own was sufficiently threatened. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'')
* The Sixth Doctor continues a Fourth Doctor tradition of enjoying fishing, last seen in [[TV]]: ''[[The Androids of Tara (TV story)|The Androids of Tara]]'' and mentioned in [[TV]]: ''[[The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]''.
* When the Second and Sixth Doctors come face-to-face, they both say "Snap!", referring to the {{w|Snap (card game)|children's card game}} in which players must say "Snap!" when two of the same card are played. Later, the [[Tenth Doctor]] says "Snap!" to the [[Fifth Doctor]] when he puts on his "brainy specs" and [[River Song]] says "Snap!" to the Tenth Doctor when she shows him her [[sonic screwdriver]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Crash (TV story)|Time Crash]]'', ''[[Silence in the Library (TV story)|Silence in the Library]]'')

* The Sixth Doctor and Peri would once again encounter the Sontarans in [[Sussex]], [[England]] in [[1872]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The First Sontarans (audio story)|The First Sontarans]]'')
