Continuity

 * The Doctor meets Alpha Centauri before their involvement as a representative to the Galactic Federation. Earlier, in his third incarnation, the Doctor knew Alpha Centauri as a firm member of the Federation, having been on the Committee of Assessment, (TV: The Curse of Peladon), Peladon ambassador, (TV: The Monster of Peladon) and as a liasion between Peladon and the Federation during her semi-retirement, the latter being witnessed by the Sixth Doctor and Melanie Bush. (AUDIO: The Death of Peladon)
 * Fully aware of the effect of meeting her so early in her timeline, the Ninth Doctor simply avoided introducing himself. The Eleventh Doctor would face a similar issue with the newly regenerated River Song. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)
 * A news item refers to a criminal from Raxacoricofallapatorius being arrested. Later in this incarnation, the Doctor and Rose Tyler would foil a plot by the Raxacoricofallapatorian crime family the Slitheen. Firstly, they would foil thwart their plan to reduce the Earth to slag, thus allowing them to sell it off as fuel, (TV: World War Three), and later they would stop Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen from opening the Cardiff rift and destroying the planet. (TV: Boom Town)
 * The Doctor and Rose found themselves regularly encountering the Slitheen family, and other rogue members of the Raxas Alliance, including the Blathereen in the Justicia penal star system, (PROSE: The Monsters Inside), and a union between rogue Jingatheen and Slitheen on the planet Gharusa Prime. (COMIC: Doctormania) The Tenth Doctor and Rose would also go on to meet a rogue Abzorbaloff, using the guise of Victor Kennedy, from the planet Clom, one of Raxacoricofallatorius' three sister planets. (TV: Love & Monsters)
 * Among the members of the Federation are representatives of Mars, namely the Ice Warriors, and Draconia. (TV: The Curse of Peladon, Frontier in Space)
 * The Doctor finishes a bag of jelly babies, a favourite snack of the Doctor's throughout their incarnations. (TV: The Dominators, Robot, Doctor Who et al)
