* ''Dimensions in Time'' featured the final non-archival [[BBC1]] appearance of every [[companion]] and incarnation of [[the Doctor]] in its cast, except for [[K9]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]], the [[Fifth Doctor]], and the [[Seventh Doctor]]. It was [[Tom Baker]]'s only onscreen performance as the Doctor since leaving the series until 2013, when he played [[The Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|a character assumed to be the Doctor]] in'' [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]''. | * ''Dimensions in Time'' featured the final non-archival [[BBC1]] appearance of every [[companion]] and incarnation of [[the Doctor]] in its cast, except for [[K9]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]], the [[Fifth Doctor]], and the [[Seventh Doctor]].

* Since airing, various prose stories have made reference to the story or set themselves within its universe. In ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'', the Seventh Doctor says "I once had [a nightmare] where all my old foes chased me round a [[soap opera]]," vaguely referencing the fan theory that the story was little more than a dream. ''[[Rescue (short story)|Rescue]]'' served as a prequel, showing the Rani meeting her new companion. ''[[Storm in a Tikka (short story)|Storm in a Tikka]]'' is set directly after the story and links the events of the story to ''[[Search Out Space]]''. | * Since airing, various prose stories have made reference to the story or set themselves within its universe.

* For scenes set inside the Rani's [[TARDIS]], the Doctor's console from the original series was set inside a TARDIS console room mock-up constructed for a recent fan convention, the original console room for the series had already been destroyed. It would later be re-created for the docu-drama [[An Adventure in Space and Time]]. | * For scenes set inside the Rani's [[TARDIS]], the Doctor's console from the original series was set inside a TARDIS console room mock-up constructed for a recent fan convention, the original console room for the series had already been destroyed.

* Ace, Leela, Romana, Victoria, Mel, Mike and Sarah Jane are seen wearing clothes similar to (or at least suggested by) what they wore in the series; Sarah Jane, for example, is wearing her Andy Pandy overalls from her final regular serial, ''[[The Hand of Fear]]'' despite having since adopted a more mature wardrobe in ''[[K9 and Company]]'' and ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''. While Leela's primitive garb is evocative of her typical series costume, she is without her standard boots and is instead barefoot which was previously the case only when swimming in the [[TARDIS swimming pool]] at the start of her final regular serial, ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]''. Liz and Peri are wearing clothes of a type they could have worn. Nyssa is shown wearing a regular Earth-style blouse rather than something closer to what she might have worn during her time with the Doctor. | * Ace, Leela, Romana, Victoria, Mel, Mike and Sarah Jane are seen wearing clothes similar to (or at least suggested by) what they wore in the series; Sarah Jane, for example, is wearing her Andy Pandy overalls from her final regular serial, ''[[The Hand of Fear]]'' despite having since adopted a more mature wardrobe in ''[[K9 and Company]]'' and ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''.
