Death Comes to Time (webcast): Difference between revisions

===Continuity ==

* The [[Seventh Doctor]] is using the [[TARDIS control room (The Chameleon Factor)|TARDIS control room]] introduced in [[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Chameleon Factor (comic story)}}.

* [[Casmus]] is identified by [[the Kingmaker]] as holding the rank of [[Castellan]], introduced in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Deadly Assassin (TV story)}}.

* Casmus describes himself and [[Tannis]], and the wider race of [[Gallifreyan]] [[Time Lord]]s, as relics of a more "chaotic time" when "the skies were unexplored, and monsters roamed". The [[Time of Chaos]] had been namedropped in [[TV]]: {{cs|Silver Nemesis (TV story)}} as an early era of [[Gallifreyan history]] and the universe at large, treated in later sources possibly synonymous with the [[Dark Times]] or [[time before time]] before the [[anchoring of the thread]], including in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}}.

* Among other references to other media set in the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]] which were construed as [[parallel universe]]s, [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Zagreus (audio story)}} saw the [[Eighth Doctor]] of [[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories|Big Finish ''Doctor Who'']] get a glimpse of a "universe in which the Time Lords had mysterious mind powers", ostensibly a reference to the ''Death Comes to Time'' cosmology.

* The [[Canisian invasion]] of [[Earth]] was referenced in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Trading Futures (novel)}}.

* In [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)}}:

** a [[prophecy]] cited by [[Larna|Lady Larna]], depicted as having been known during [[the Doctor's early lfe|the Doctor's youth]], mentions [[Tannis]] as one of the threats Gallifrey must encounter and survive with [[the Doctor]]'s help before its final, fated end.

** a "[[Santine Rift]]" is mentioned, presumably located on or related to the planet [[Santiny]] and its native people the [[Santine]]s.

** the recurring parable of the island of giants, cited throughout ''Death Comes to Time'', is described as the "[[first myth of the Time Lords]]". Put to paper by [[Marnal]], it is published on [[Earth]] as fiction under the title of ''[[The Giants]]''.

* Also in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)}}, one of the [[four surviving elementals]] of [[the Needle]] is described as "a tall man with a bent nose wearing a cravat and holding a pair of dice", matching the description of the [[First Minister of Chance|incarnation of the Minister of Chance]] seen in this story. The visual glimpse of the elementals in [[COMIC]]: {{cs|Miranda (comic story)}} likewise included a man whose face was partially-obscured, clearly modeled on the likeness of [[Stephen Fry]], though with shorter hair than seen in ''Death Comes to Time''.  

* [[Mount Plutarch]] appears again in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Three Paths (short story)}}, where it is clarified to be another name for [[Mount Lung]] from [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}}, identifying it as the mountain where the Doctor lived in his youth, as first mentioned in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Monster (TV story)}}, and on top of which [[the Hermit]] dwelled. "Mount Plutarch" is said to be associated with the legends of the "[[untimes]]" and "[[unhappened days]]", with one such legend telling of a Time Lord adventurer journeying to "a wise old lady in a cave in the southern mountains", an apparent reference to [[the Kingmaker]].  

* [[Anima Persis]] is mentioned in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Relative Dementias (novel)}} and [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Tomorrow Windows (novel)}}, with the former giving an explanation for the state it appears in when [[Ace]] visits it in ''Death Comes to Time''.

* The primarily narrative of the [[The Minister of Chance (series)|''Minister of Chance'' series]], first told in audio dramas beginning with [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Pointed Hand (audio story)}}, and retold in novel form in [[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Minister of Chance (novelisation)}}, carried on from the Minister's circumstances at the end of ''Death Comes to Time'', with the Minister forced to use the [[formula for doors]] to travel instead of [[Minister of Chance's TARIS|his ship]].
