Continuity
- The events of the book lead directly into The Two Doctors for the Second Doctor. He is also given the Stattenheim Remote Control.
- Psychic paper, introduced by Russell T Davies in the 2005 series of Doctor Who, is used here by the Second Doctor and Lady Serena, as a "new CIA invention". The text implies that the card in question is the same one later used by the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors, though the connection is never explicitly stated.
- The Sixth Doctor also participates in the Battle of Waterloo in the audio The Curse of Davros when he has to prevent Davros and the Daleks from altering the outcome of the battle (Although the two perspectives can be reconciled as the Sixth Doctor spends more time interacting with Napoleon in the battle while the Second was helping the Duke of Wellington).

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“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)
“If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
