Continuity

 * The portal with Dr. Perkins' hand sticking out, and his voice saying "grab on! I can't hold" appeared to the Doctor in her three previous incarnations:
 * The Tenth Doctor saw it on SS Madame de Pompadour in the 51st century.
 * It appeared in Amy Pond and Rory Williams' back garden during the The Year of the Slow Invasion, without being noticed by the Eleventh Doctor.
 * The Twelfth Doctor, and Nardole saw it on the Mondasian colony ship. (COMIC: The Road To...)
 * When prompting her friends to come with her, the Doctor calls them "gang". (TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth, Rosa, Kerblam!, The Witchfinders, Resolution)
 * The Doctor talks about a vortex manipulator, and Ryan doesn't yet know what it is. (TV: Rosa) The Doctor again calls it a "cheap and nasty means of time travel". (TV: The Big Bang, Rosa, et al.)
 * The Doctor summons the TARDIS using her sonic screwdriver, something her war incarnation did quite frequently. (AUDIO: The Thousand Worlds et al.)
 * The Doctor objects to Perkins using a gun. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem, et al.) Ryan knows from personal experience that she's "a stickler for that one". (TV: The Ghost Monument)
 * The Doctor says she'd be the last person to judge someone else for trying to steal a TARDIS, referencing how she stole it in the first place, in her first incarnation. (TV: Logopolis, The Name of the Doctor, AUDIO: The Beginning)
 * The Doctor tells Perkins that his gun was neutralised the moment he entered the TARDIS, echoing past claims of temporal grace. (TV: The Hand of Fear, et al.)
 * Graham is interested in gardening. (PROSE: The Secret in Vault 13)
 * The Doctor explains to Perkins that he can understand alien languages due to the TARDIS translation circuit. (TV: The Masque of Mandragora, The End of the World, et al.)
 * The Doctor ponders what she used to exclaim before leaping into the unknown in a past incarnation, before remembering too late that it was "geronimo". (TV: The End of Time, The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below, et al.)
 * The Doctor summons the TARDIS using her sonic screwdriver, something her war incarnation did quite frequently. (AUDIO: The Thousand Worlds et al.) She would later do the same again on Ranskoor Av Kolos. (TV: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos)
