* In conversation with the Dalek Prime the events of (in addition to the above stories) [[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'', ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Destiny of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Revelation of the Daleks]]'' and ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]'' are discussed in varying details. However, as mentioned in "Story notes" above, everything from ''Destiny of the Daleks'' onwards is retconned in some way.

* In [[PROSE]]: ''[[Salvation (novel)|Salvation]]'' it's established that the Mechanoids were sent out in early stages of space exploration...so how do they recognise the Movellans (who were from a much later period).
* In [[PROSE]]: ''[[GodEngine (novel)|GodEngine]]'' it is shown that the Daleks were hollowing out Earth's core to make an Osiran device work; here it's so they can pilot planets.
* Sam complains about the lack of a kitchen in the TARDIS; there is one in [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Room With No Doors]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Autumn Mist]]'' and ''[[Escape Velocity]]''.

* The Doctor says the Daleks "have no interest in anything but conquest and war. Art, decoration, poetry, music - it's all irrelevant to them" (page 170); he's forgetting "The Lament of the Non-operational", mentioned in [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Also People]]''.
* In the 'Human Space' Interlude, [[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' is briefly visited upon.

* The Doctor comments, "I was starting to get worried that you'd discovered religion." This does happen, in [[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways]]''.
* In [[TV]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan]]'', one of the [[Cult of Skaro]] states that its homeworld was "destroyed in a great war", presumably the [[Last Great Time War]]. If this world is Skaro (its name is not mentioned) then this could support the idea that Antalin was destroyed in [[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]''. However, Russell Davies has said that the destruction shown in ''Remembrance'' was regarded as part of the Last Great Time War. It is also possible of course that this homeworld was not Skaro or that the Dalek's statement is a hyperbole, as the planet is visited post-Time War in [[GAME]]: ''[[City of the Daleks (video game)|City of the Daleks]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]''. It is also possible that at some point during the Time War, the Daleks managed to restore the original Skaro.
