Continuity

 * Izzy describes the end of the Invaders' occupation of Earth. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth)
 * Homogeny and Hegemony appear as the possibilities of themselves from TV shows (TV: An Unearthly Child) and films, (TV: Dr. Who and the Daleks) but very briefly as just two ordinary people.
 * Caroline remembers visiting the world from which the Invaders came, (TV: The Daleks) "Earth of long ago", (TV: An Unearthly Child) and snow-capped mountains. (TV: Marco Polo)
 * Caroline's grandfather brought her to Earth. She thinks to herself, "One day, I will get back. Yes, I will get back. Until then..." mirroring the First Doctor's goodbye to Susan in TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
