Continuity

 * The First Doctor previously met Christopher Marlowe in MA: The Empire of Glass. This encounter will not take place for another 19 years in Marlowe's personal timeline.
 * Peri previously visited 16th century England in the company of the Fifth Doctor (BFA: The Kingmaker) and would later do so again in the company of the Sixth Doctor. (BFA: Recorded Time)
 * The Doctor and Peri refer to their recent trip to 19th century England. (DW: The Mark of the Rani)
 * The Doctor tells Marlowe that he has met demons in his time. Though he does not name them, he is presumably referring to his encounters with Azal in DW: The Dæmons) and the Mara in [DW]]: Kinda, DW: Snakedance and BFA: The Cradle of the Snake. He would subsequently encounter other self-described demons such as the Destroyer in DW: Battlefield and the Beast in DW: The Satan Pit.
 * While exploring London in 1590, the Doctor points out St Paul's Cathedral to Peri, who correctly states that it was the Old St. Paul's which was burnt down in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The Doctor remarks, "Well, let's not go into that." His fifth incarnation played a major role in starting that fire in DW: The Visitation. Ironically, the Fourth Doctor, arriving shortly after his future self's departure, was wrongly accused of starting the fire only hours later. (DW: Pyramids of Mars, ST: The Republican's Story) A similar exchange would late occur between the Doctor and Evelyn Smythe in BFA: The Marian Conspiracy.
