Continuity
- Clockwork men also appear with the Tenth Doctor in "The Girl in the Fireplace" and the Eighth Doctor in Anachrophobia.
- There is a mention of Rose 'dressing up' while the Doctor only has a 'new shirt' (similar to "The Unquiet Dead").
- Rose has a conversation with one of the servants in the Imperial Club, and the girl makes her think of Gwyneth, who appeared in "The Unquiet Dead".
- In the club, the Doctor looks at a painting of the French Revolution and says "That's not right". In the first episode of Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child, the Doctor's granddaughter, Susan Foreman, reads a book about the French Revolution and says the same words.
- The Doctor mentions to Rose at the end of the Series 2 episode "Tooth and Claw" that Queen Victoria suffered from a condition called Haemophilia. This was also mentioned when The Doctor and Rose visit the British Empire Exhibition.
- Melissa Heart says the Doctor and Rose keep turning up like a 'Bad Wolf'. Rose corrects her and says she means 'penny' as in the phrase 'keeps coming back like a bad penny'. The phrase 'Bad Wolf' was the arc word to Series 1.

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“Only the family, society’s smallest unit, can change and yet maintain enough continuity to rear children who will not be “strangers in a strange land,” who will be rooted firmly enough to grow and adapt.”
—Salvador Minuchin (20th century)
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
