*The [[Graske]] last appeared in the interactive story ''[[Attack of the Graske]]''.

* Sarah mentions previous times she saved the Earth and thwarted alien invasions, including the [[Bane]] ([[Invasion of the Bane]]), the [[Slitheen]] ([[Revenge of the Slitheen]]) and the [[Gorgon]]s ([[Eye of the Gorgon]]). The Trickster indicates that he interfered with the course of events to prevent their various schemes in the absence of Sarah Jane. (Although unspoken, presumably this also includes any [[UNIT]]/Doctor-related incidents which she played a key role in resolving.)

*Sarah explicitly denies that the Earth created by her absence is a [[Universe|parallel world]]. However, in light of [[DW]]: [[Turn Left]], it is considerably unclear what this means. If it's not a parallel world, then what is it? (''Sarah states in the story that this is the same world, changed.'')

*When Maria arrives in July 1964 on the day of the accident, a radio can be heard playing ''You Really Got Me'' by The Kinks. However the song wasn't released until August 1964. ''The song was playing on the radio, however, so perhaps it was being promoted in advance of its release.''

*Alan is the only character to refer to the Trickster by that name, even though he is never told it. It's possible he might have made the name up, except that [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] refers to the villain by this same name in [[DW]]: ''[[Turn Left]]''. ''Alan does interrograte the Graske, with ample time for him to tell Alan the Trickster's name/title.''
