Continuity

 * The story begins and ends with the Doctor playing cricket in Stockbridge. Thus the comic debut of the Fifth Doctor gives stronger rationale for this incarnation's signature "cricket uniform" than does his televised introduction.
 * The name "Stockbridge" does not actually appear in this story. Readers only retroactively knew the village name because this story named Wells Wood. It was only in the next story that Wells Wood was identified as being on the outskirts of a village named Stockbridge.
 * In this story, the Chancellory Guard refer to the Doctor as "the President". We know that the Doctor had at least two separate terms as president, because Flavia pointedly says that he has "again" been made president in The Five Doctors. This story logically takes place during his first term — the one initiated in The Invasion of Time — simply because Arc of Infinity, where he is no longer president, hadn't aired at the time Tides was published.
