A Letter from the Doctor (DWAN 2024 short story): Difference between revisions

* The Doctor continuously references [[Thirteenth Doctor|his predecessor]]'s [[Thirteenth Doctor's regeneration|regeneration]] from {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}. He also mentions walking back into the TARDIS, which was briefly seen in ''[[Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)|Liberation of the Daleks]]''.

** The Fourteenth Doctor's entry in {{cs|Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse (reference book)}} takes place moments after ''The Power of the Doctor'', as it follows on directly from Fourteen's line "''What? What? What?''", thus being set during the extremely short time in which ''A Letter from the Doctor'' takes place after ''Power''.

* The Doctor directly compares his appearance to the [[Tenth Doctor]], who debuted in {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}} and finally regenerated in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''.

* The Doctor takes note of the [[Custard cream]] [[Biscuit dispenser]] on the [[TARDIS control console]], which was a detail highlighted in the crystal console's debut in {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}

* The Doctor jokingly wonders if he'll be able to keep both his hands this time, slyly referencing how the Tenth Doctor lost [[Tenth Doctor's hand|a hand]] during {{cs|The Christmas Invasion (TV story)}} but then concludes that he is unlikely the be sword-fighting the [[Sycorax]] again, alluding to [[Fadros Pallujikaa (The Christmas Invasion)|the Sycorax leader]] that had cut his hand off.

* The Doctor mentions his clothes having changed during the regeneration, and subtly recalls it happening when the [[First Doctor]] regenerated into the [[Second Doctor]] during {{cs|The Tenth Planet (TV story)}}.
