 * James II tells the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe that the English Catholics were falsely accused of having started the Great Fire of London on 2 September 1666 during the reign of his elder brother Charles II, who was a Protestant. In actuality, it was started when a Terileptil weapon overloaded in a bakery on Pudding Lane. The Doctor's fifth incarnation played a major role in causing the fire. (TV: The Visitation) During his fourth incarnation, he had previously been blamed for starting the fire. (TV: Pyramid of Mars; PROSE: The Republican's Story)
 * While arguing with the Doctor about altering history, Jamie refers to Professor Zaroff (TV: The Underwater Menace), Ramón Salamander (TV: The Enemy of the World) and Tobias Vaughn (TV: The Invasion).
 * After being returned to his own time by the Time Lords. Jamie married Kirsty McLaren. They had at least eight children and numerous grandchildren by 1788.

 * The Nemesis statue entered orbit around Earth on 23 November 1688, several weeks after the events of this story, as it did on that date once every 25 years from 1638 to 1988.
