** "Where is [[Torchwood]] when you need them?" is a question asked by one of the survivors. ([[TV]]: ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]'',[[Everything Changes (TV story)| ''Everything Changes'']]) Initially an organisation intended to deal with alien threats without the public knowing, the events of [[TV]]: [[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|''Army of Ghosts'']] / [[Doomsday (TV story)|''Doomsday'']] left their name in the public eye. As established in the Torchwood episode [[TV]]: ''[[Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang]]'', Torchwood are well known in even their smallest operations.

** One of the survivors asks "Will they take the children again?", a reference to either a previous appearance of the Cybermen in [[TV]]: ''[[The Next Doctor (TV story)|The Next Doctor]]'' in which the Cybermen kidnapped children in Victorian London to power the [[CyberKing]] warship, or to the events of [[TV]]: ''[[Children of Earth: Day Five (TV story)|Children of Earth]]'' in which the armed forces of the world were forced to take 10% of the world's child population in trade to be spared from a war with the [[456 ambassador|456]].

At this point in the timeline, UNIT is yet to undergo the massive redevelopment in their operations helmed by [[Kate Stewart]] ([[TV]]: [[The Power of Three (TV story)|''The Power of Three'']]) and would be as they were last seen in [[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]'', ''[[Death of the Doctor (TV story)|Death of the Doctor]]''.

* When the Doctor and River encounter an army of [[Cybermen]], the Doctor yells to River, "Basically, run!" This is the same line that the Eleventh Doctor first used in [[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'' when he was threatening the [[Atraxi]] about leaving Earth. Here, however, the situation is reversed. Instead of a threat, he's warning River that they need to get away.
