* [[Psychic paper]] was introduced in the [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|2005 season of the revived ''Doctor Who'']] as a device used by the [[Ninth Doctor]]. As the Past Doctor Adventures line was discontinued soon after, this is the only time that an original novel featuring a "classic series" Doctor has made direct reference to a concept introduced in the TV series revival. | * [[Psychic paper]] was introduced in the [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|2005 season of the revived ''Doctor Who'']] as a device used by the [[Ninth Doctor]].

* This story posits that psychic paper is a [[Time Lord]] invention and that the Doctor first started using it as far back as his [[second Doctor|second incarnation]]. Neither has ever been said on television.

* 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.

* 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. | * 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]].
