Continuity
- Paul Langer casually refers to Daleks in a conversation about aliens; the Daleks invaded Earth and became common knowledge in "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End" Doctor Who 2008 two-parter. Clyde mentions encountering the Slitheen (Revenge of the Slitheen and The Lost Boy) and the Sontarans (The Last Sontaran) and Paul picks up the M.I.T.R.E. headset from The Lost Boy when exploring Sarah Jane's attic.
- Sarah Jane states that she is visiting Tarminster. Tarminster is featured in the Doctor Who serial Terror of the Autons. The Harold Saxon promotional website mentions that Lucy Saxon's father was Lord Cole of Tarminster.
- Clyde stirs Sarah Jane's memories of her own parents, whom she longs to have known. This foreshadows the plot of the next episode.

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“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)
“Continuous eloquence wearies.... Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
