Rumours
to be added

Production errors

 * The article "Illusions of Security" depicts John Marwood witnessing the Doctor's TARDIS during a Vincent van Gogh exhibition in 2010, which shares similarities with the episode Vincent and the Doctor; however, the exhibition in this episode was at the Musée d'Orsay, not the Louvre as stated in the article.

Continuity

 * Larry mentions that Rani Chandra once spoke with Anthony Williams, whose parents were both sent back in time separately while ending up in the same place and time. Anthony debuted in the mini-episode P.S., and Anthony's recollection of his parents aligns with the ending of The Angels Take Manhattan.
 * When searching for data about the Doctor, you find an image of the TARDIS parked outside Musée d'Orsay (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
 * While in the phone call with the Doctor, she mentions taking Yaz to Bar Galactica. (AUDIO: The Ultimate Adventure, Beyond the Ultimate Adventure)
 * The article about Alabama's Blue Box makes references to 'a blue box' being spotted in the Punjab, (TV: Demons of the Punjab) in Nepal (TV: The Abominable Snowmen) and two blue boxes in Ypres during World War I. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)
 * Osgood postulates that the reason the Doctor's TARDIS is drawn on a first-edition copy of Bleak House is because the Doctor visited the Crimean War around 1853. (TV: War of the Sontarans)
 * The Angels ask Osgood if she is still jealous of her sister. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
 * Osgood jokes that TARDIS stands for Totally And Radically Driving In Space (TV: The Zygon Invasion) before relenting that it instead means life (TV: Oxygen)
