* [[Boy (Unnatural History)|The Boy]]'s mention of a "greyness" destined to fall over the universe is a reference to the end of the universe seen in [[Lance Parkin]]'s ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]''. Implications in Parkin's ''[[Father Time (novel)|Father Time]]'' and ''[[Miranda (comic story)|Miranda]]'' link this greyness to the [[post-War universe]]. [[Mark Clapham]]'s ''Analysis'', a short story published in ''Walking in Eternity'', shows the amnesic Eighth Doctor's premonitions of a lifeless grey "nothing." Clapham is the author of ''[[Hope (novel)|Hope]]'', which takes place in the same future seen in ''Father Time ''and ''Miranda.'' | * [[Boy (Unnatural History)|The Boy]]'s mention of a "greyness" destined to fall over the universe is a reference to the end of the universe seen in [[Lance Parkin]]'s ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]''.

* Many fans speculated that Daniel Joyce is Professor [[Chronotis]], but Blum denied this on Usenet, saying Joyce was much more connected to the outside world than Chronotis, and the only connection between the two was that [[Robert deLaurentis]], whose character [[the Doctor's father|John Smith]] heavily influenced Joyce, was in turn inspired by ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]''.<ref>[http://groups.google.co.uk/group/rec.arts.drwho/msg/c1d45b12d98e3bcd?hl=en& Jonathan Blum on 'Joyce and Savar!
