* Ian sets a trap for the Dalek by placing a sheet of metal on the floor in the hopes of disrupting the static electricity supply by which they are powered and subsequently disguises himself as a Dalek. He previously did both of these during his first encounter with them on [[Skaro]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Daleks]]'')

* The Sontarans have images of all the Doctor's incarnations. They recognise the Fifth Doctor from their encounter with him on [[Samur]]. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Heroes of Sontar]]'')
* Nyssa would later encounter the Fifth Doctor in her mind shortly before his regeneration into the [[Soxth Doctor]]. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Winter (audio story)|Winter]]'') Later in her personal timeline but earlier in his, she would re-join him as one of his companions. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Cobwebs]]'')
* This is the Doctor's first encounter with each of his companions since they left the TARDIS. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Chase]]'', [[DW]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'', [[DW]]: ''[[The Savages]]'', [[DW]]: ''[[The Faceless Ones]]'', [[DW]]: ''[[Terminus]]'') With the exception of Nyssa, they do not know the Doctor to be a [[Time Lord]] nor are they familiar with the concept of [[regeneration]]. Even Polly, who witnessed the Doctor's regeneration into his [[Second Doctor|second incarnation]] remains uncertain of the process. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet]]'')

* The Doctor tells Ian that he had recently intended to visit him. This is a reference to the original plans for [[DW]]: ''[[Mawdryn Undead]]'' which had envisaged [[William Russell]] taking the part ultimately allocated to [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]].

* Ian has gone out of retirement to take up teaching again and is married to [[Barbara Wright]]. Polly is married to [[Ben Jackson]]. This would appear to contradict [[ST]]: [[Mondas Passing]], in which they are said to have both married other people, as well as [[CC]]: ''[[The Forbidden Time]]'', in which Polly states that they saw each other only occasionally.

* Polly sarcastically mentions that making [[coffee]] was usually her main contribution to the proceedings. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet]]'', [[DW]]: ''[[The Moonbase]]'')
* The Doctor refers to Polly challenging the [[Cyber-Leader]] [[Krail]] in the [[Snowcap]] in [[December]] [[1986]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet]]'')
