Continuity

 * The Doctor previously referred to the Censor shortly after he and Charley entered the Divergent Universe, though paradoxically he did not know who he was at the time. This was due to the timeless nature of the Divergent Universe. (AUDIO: Scherzo)
 * The DJ refers to Axos (TV: The Claws of Axos) and the Zarbi (TV: The Web Planet).
 * The Doctor, Charley and C'rizz contributed their memories to the pool used to programme the proles and citizens. The memories broadcast as part of the mandatory Infotainment hours include the Doctor and Charley's first visit to Gallifrey (AUDIO: Neverland), their encounter with the Threllips in Ferrara, Italy on 11 July 1982 (AUDIO: Living Legend), their first meeting with C'rizz in Zone Eutermes (AUDIO: The Creed of the Kromon) and the Doctor reciting a fable about a wise king who passed the reins of power to his foolish son and heir. (AUDIO: Scherzo)
 * The Editor refers to the Great Fire of Rome in July 64. (TV: The Romans)
 * The Doctor is aware that C'rizz is a monk and understands why he killed L'da in the Kromon biosphere. (AUDIO: The Creed of the Kromon)
 * Following their visit to Light City, the Kro'ka sent the Doctor, Charley and C'rizz to the jungles of Setarus. (AUDIO: The Twilight Kingdom)
