Continuity
- The Second Doctor, Jamie and Zoe were trapped in the Land of Fiction in the 1968 TV story The Mind Robber. It also featured the White Robots, the Clockwork Soldiers, Unicorns and The Karkus.
- Jamie and Zoe had their memories of travelling with the Doctor erased by the Time Lords in The War Games, but retained each of their initial meetings with him (in The Highlanders and The Wheel in Space, respectively.)
- Rob Roy and Nemo return (from City of Spires and The Wreck of the Titan, respectively.)
- The Fifth Doctor met Vlad the Impaler (the inspiration for Dracula) in Son of the Dragon. As mentioned, Vlad was briefly engaged to Erimem.
- The story arc that concludes here was started in City of Spires.
- The Cybermen in the story are the same model used in The Invasion.
Notes
- Colin Baker and Wendy Padbury were previously heard together in the audio story Davros. Although Colin played the Sixth Doctor, Wendy did not play Zoe.
- The Laird Of McCrimmon was proposed as Jamie's final TV story, but was never made.
- Trolls exist within the Land of Fiction and can be turned into Cybermen.[2]
