 * The scene from DW: The Three Doctors in which the Second Doctor voices his displeasure with the new design of the TARDIS is echoed in a similar remark from Klein.
 * The Doctor mentions the TARDIS' "leopard skin" desktop theme. (DW: Time Crash)
 * In the alternative timeline, the Seventh Doctor regenerated for the same reason as in DW: Doctor Who (1996).
 * "Johann Schmidt" is a German variation of the Doctor's usual alias "John Smith". The Seventh Doctor had previously referred to himself as "Johann Schmidt" while impersonating a Nazi Reichsinspektor in May 1951 in another alternative timeline (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus). In the proper timeline, the Eighth Doctor would later use the name while posing as a German spy aboard the British airship R101 in October 1930. (BFA: Storm Warning)
 * Klein claims that she was unaware of the proper name of the TARDIS until she learned it from the Seventh Doctor in Colditz Castle in October 1944. However, she referred to it as such in BFA: Colditz before the Doctor ever used the name.
