Continuity

 * The Doctor jokingly gives his condolences when he finds out that Mandy lives in London. The Eighth Doctor once spent a lengthy period of time grounded in London whilst present during a paradox, unable to escape in the TARDIS. (AUDIO: Lost Property et al)
 * London was also well-known for being a hotspot for alien incursions, such as the Robot Yeti in London, (TV: The Web of Fear), the Dinosaur Invasion, (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs), the two attempted invasions of WOTAN, (TV: The War Machines, AUDIO: The Law Machines) and later in the Ninth Doctor's life, the city would face an Auton invasion, (TV: Rose) and the Elizabeth Tower would be struck by a spaceship. (TV: Aliens of London)
 * Bette calls the Doctor "the man with the ears". It's an onrunning joke among the people the Doctor meets that he has large ears. The Doctor himself notices them in a mirror in Rose's flat. (TV: Rose) Later, he would meet Nancy who would ask him whether his nose and ears have special powers, causing him to take offense. (TV: The Doctor Dances) Before regenerating into the Ninth Doctor, the War incarnation of the Doctor hoped his ears wouldn't be conspicious in his next incarnation. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
 * One year, Mandy gets a summer job at Henrik's. During 2005, Rose Tyler also worked at Henrik's until it was used as part of the Auton invasion of the same year. The Ninth Doctor had no alternative but to blow up the shop. (TV: Rose)
 * The Doctor takes Mandy to other time periods, explaining that the house is actually a timeship that merged with a manor to blend in. They visit the plague period, (TV: The Visitation) and the Ice Age. (COMIC: The Ice-Age Monster)
 * Mandy states that their adventure is "fantastic", using a catchphrase of the Ninth Doctor. (TV: Rose et al)
 * The Doctor poses as a Caretaker. (TV: The Caretaker)
 * The Doctor states that "this type of ship" has a chameleon circuit, allowing it to blend in with its surroundings. (TV: Attack of the Cybermen) The Eighth Doctor and Lucie Miller visited a similar timeship disguised as a house that was stuck and disintegrating in the Time Vortex. (AUDIO: No More Lies)
 * The Doctor and Mandy share a kiss, the Doctor would go on to kiss numerous companions. (TV: Doctor Who, The Parting of the Ways, Smith & Jones et al)
