* A few years after writing ''Frankenstein'', Shelley wrote a little-known science fiction novel called ''The Last Man'', which takes place at the end of the 21st century. In the context of the ''Doctor Who'' universe, and the fact that she travelled with the Eighth Doctor, it is possible that her writing of this book may have been influenced by her experiences with the Doctor. The prologue of ''The Last Man'' even includes a story of the author and her unnamed travelling companion and cites this adventure as the inspiration for the novel. | * A few years after writing ''Frankenstein'', Shelley wrote a little-known science fiction novel called ''The Last Man'', which takes place at the end of the 21st century.

* ''[[Return of the Cybermen (audio story)|Return of the Cybermen]]'' originally sought to explain the continuity disparities between Shelley's [[Big Finish Productions|Big Finish]] tenure as a companion of the Eighth Doctor, and ''The Haunting of Villa Diodati'' which contradicts that depiction. In the scene, the [[Fourth Doctor]] is warned that his timeline is being rewritten by the fallout of ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'' and the [[Last Great Time War]]. The [[Time Lord messenger]] foresees, among other things, "A famous author travels with you, then she doesn't".
