Continuity

 * The Third and Fourth Doctor's former companion Sarah Jane Smith would later encounter the Pied Piper in London in 2009. At this time, she learned that he was an energy entity from the Jeggorabax Cluster who had crashed to Earth, a region known to house beings feeding on emotions, in the Weserbergland Mountains in Lower Saxony in 1283. With the assistance of Clyde Langer and Rani Chandra, she was able to trap him in a fragment of the Weserbergland Meteorite, a piece of rock to which he was bound. She then placed the fragment in an alien box from which nothing could escape. (TV: The Day of the Clown)
