Continuity

 * Tommy Ramsey asks Sarah Jane Smith to make him and the rest of the men tea, much to her disgust and disapproval, similarly to when the Third Doctor asked her to make tea for himself. (TV: The Time Warrior) To some of his future incarnations' embarrassment, the First Doctor asked some of his future companions to make everyone tea. These included Tegan Jovanka (TV: The Five Doctors) and Bill Potts, (TV: Twice Upon a Time) both of whom were upset at the request.
 * The Doctor hangs an "Out of Order" sign on the TARDIS door whilst it is in 1950s London. (TV: The War Machines)
 * Sarah remembers the Doctor almost dying on Peladon. (TV: The Monster of Peladon)
 * The Tenth Doctor and Donna were also in London during the Great Smog (although they departed after the first day, while the Third Doctor and Sarah Jane remained for the whole experience). (AUDIO: The Creeping Death)
