* This webcast attempts to fill in the holes left by the unfinished serial ''Shada''. The Eighth Doctor recalls only the early events of the story. This would suggest that due to the events of [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', the Fourth Doctor and Romana were left with partial amnesia and the adventure was prevented from concluding the first time around. Romana says she remembers being in stasis for a time, while K-9 states that the Doctor and Romana had left him alone for approximately two hours before returning and abruptly changing destination to [[Brighton]], suggesting that [[TV]]: ''[[The Leisure Hive (TV story)|The Leisure Hive]]'' takes place immediately after the aborted events of the original ''Shada'' and the Doctor and Romana's abduction in ''The Five Doctors''. | |||
* As an "extra feature" to the webcast, the website created an animated video of [[Kylie Minogue]]'s song "{{w|Can't Get You Out of My Head}}", with Romana, the Eighth Doctor, Skagra and Krargs dancing to the tune. | * As an "extra feature" to the webcast, the website created an animated video of [[Kylie Minogue]]'s song "{{w|Can't Get You Out of My Head}}", with Romana, the Eighth Doctor, Skagra and Krargs dancing to the tune. | ||
* The Doctor mentions that | * Romana is Lord President of [[Gallifrey]]. This is in keeping with her character's continuity as featured at the time in the various Big Finish audios. This adventure happens after her years of imprisonment by the [[Dalek]]s ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Apocalypse Element (audio story)|The Apocalypse Element]]''). She is illustrated in ''Shada'' looking somewhat more mature than the image used to represent her on the cover of ''The Apocalypse Element.'' She has never met the Eighth Doctor before, as she remarks on his new body. | ||
* The Doctor mentions that he and Chronotis spent a weekend with Mary Shelley and Lord Byron at Lake Geneva. Since Chronotis is not present with the Doctor and Mary in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mary's Story (audio story)|Mary's Story]]'', one must presume that the Doctor and Mary met Chronotis near Lake Geneva in another visit (perhaps when the Doctor returned her to her normal timeline). | |||
