Characters

 * Sixth Doctor
 * Frobisher
 * Peri Brown
 * Kara McAllista
 * Monitor

The Doctor

 * The Doctor has described the TARDIS as "the primary social artefact upon which Gallifreyan culture made its quantum evolutionary bound from time-locked to time-spanned."
 * Among potential candidates for a holiday retreat include the planet Argolis, Quiexly Major, Placet and Trantor. The Doctor dismisses each, respectively, for past faux pas, being "too touristy", having "crazy geography" and being "far too cosmopolitan." Eventually, he decides on a holiday to Arcadia, a paradise planet.
 * Indulging in his penchant for recitation, the Doctor quotes William Wordsworth's Resolution and Independence.

The TARDIS

 * The TARDIS chambers include the Falloean Gardens and the Bagdejalucian phosphorescent anti-gravity shrubs. The Diamond Avenue features the brightest gems from a dozen star systems.
 * Frobisher plays chess with the TARDIS console and loses, though he claims that it cheated.

Planets

 * Arcadia is described as a planet of "verdant rolling fields, glittering still lakes, vast cloudless skies."
 * The Profiteers of Ephte come from Ephte Major, their tax haven on the spur of Friedman's Curve, and are an ancient race who have ravaged the galaxy under the philosophy of "profit or die". They communicate in a number-orientated language. When Peri and Frobisher are captured, they intend to sell them off to other races for enormous profit. Peri will go to the Grodomorphs of Cebalias Alpha as a handmaiden and Frobisher to the Tralfamadorians of Vonnegut as a zoo animal.

Individuals

 * Seth, a Methuselah-like figure, also adopted the titles of a 14th-century grand schemer in Rome and Vincent Grant, who unified the Western Alliance in the 22nd-century.
 * Kara McAllista is a third-class maintenance technician responsible for the cryo-sleep chambers aboard the Mayflower. One of ten awoken every six months and assisted by a mobile robot designated as Monitor. She curses with the epithets of "skaj", "seg-jak" and "what the jaxx".
