* The first chapter and a half goes into more detail about aspects of the TARDIS and how and why the Doctor got {{Tipple}}'s remains. In particular, the early part of the book suggests the [[Seventh Doctor]] has only ''just'' changed the TARDIS interior. Though possible, there's no on-screen evidence the interior has been recently changed. The Seventh Doctor seems quite settled in his surroundings. Stories in other media have contradicted this. In particular, many [[Big Finish Productions]] audios posit the [[Seventh Doctor]] well-ensconced in the telemovie's console room. Notably, mention is made of a church organ taken from [[Cheldon Bonniface]], a village visited twice in New Adventures novels [[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)|Timewyrm: Revelation]]'' and [[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'' and a koi pond filled with [[gumblejack]]. | * The first chapter and a half goes into more detail about aspects of the TARDIS and how and why the Doctor got {{Tipple}}'s remains.

The novel features a scene in which the police who arrive at the scene of the shooting interrogate Lee and determine that he might be of help to the paramedics. A policeman introduces Lee to the paramedic, who introduces himself as Bruce Gerhardt. Bruce's last name is never revealed on-screen. | ||
* When the Doctor says to Grace, "It was a child's dream that made you want to be a doctor," the movie leaves the audience to wonder what that dream might have been. The book shows us a flashback to Grace's youth in Sacramento. There, we witness her mother dying young and Grace dreaming of finding a way to prevent other kids having to endure the pain of their parent's premature death. | * When the Doctor says to Grace, "It was a child's dream that made you want to be a doctor," the movie leaves the audience to wonder what that dream might have been.
