*When the Doctor creates his TARDIS from a mobile phone he says he "just needs a door handle" before he can open the doors. Technically, as the TARDIS doors open inwards, he shouldn't have needed to worry about that and could have dashed inside when the doors appeared.

*Derek Jacobi appears in [[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]], again playing the Master, however the Master depicted in ''Scream of the Shalka'' actually resembles the [[Roger Delgado]] incarnation of the 1970s.

*The Grant version of the Ninth Doctor has some similarities to [[Christopher Eccleston]]'s version of the character. Both Doctors are depicted as loners and emotionally damaged due to some unrevealed event in their (possibly recent) past. Both, however, ultimately realize they need a companion. In the Grant Doctor's case, it is hinted that he is reluctant to take on a new companion, possibly due to the (recent?) loss of one -- a theme later followed by [[David Tennant]]'s [[Tenth Doctor]] after the loss of [[Rose Tyler]].

*In [[EDA]]: ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'' Marnal notes that the Eighth Doctor has three ninth possible next regenerations, the Richard E Grant version, the Christopher Eccleston version and another version (quite possibly the one portrayed by Rowan Atkinson in ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]''). Perhaps these Ninth Doctors are 'middle' Doctors, taken out of time during the Eighth Doctor's regeneration. The Curse of Fatal Death would probably occur first, because of Rowan Aktinson's long hair, and then the Doctor would somehow turn back to his COFD twelfth body and this story would then occur. After that he would regenerate into his proper Ninth body and Rose would occur soon after.
