* This story features the second significant encounter between the Second Doctor and [[Horatio Nelson]]. However, the Doctor meets him at a much earlier point in his second incarnation's life but at an later point in Nelson's life. At no point does the Doctor mention having met Nelson in the company of [[Ben Jackson]] and [[Polly Wright]], as he did in the short story ''[[H.M.S. TARDIS (short story)|H.M.S. TARDIS]]''. | * This story features the second significant encounter between the Second Doctor and [[Horatio Nelson]].

* Throughout this story, the Doctor uses [[TARDIS (World Game)|a completely different TARDIS]] than normal; although it is "introduced" to him in the shape of a [[police box]] as the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] thought it would make the Doctor more comfortable, it is a [[Type 97]] with a working [[chameleon circuit]]. He doesn't get to keep the 97 at the end of the story, but instead is returned to his own TARDIS afterwards | * Throughout this story, the Doctor uses [[TARDIS (World Game)|a completely different TARDIS]] than normal; although it is "introduced" to him in the shape of a [[police box]] as the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] thought it would make the Doctor more comfortable, it is a [[Type 97]] with a working [[chameleon circuit]]. He doesn't get to keep the 97 at the end of the story, but instead is returned to his own TARDIS afterwards — albeit one that's had a complete overhaul. The overhaul is meant to retcon the fact that the Second Doctor's TARDIS in ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'' seems radically different to versions of the set that existed in the late 1960s. | ||
