 * Rory recalls aliens made of wool (NSA: The Glamour Chase), vampire creatures (DW: The Vampires of Venice) and nuclear bombs (NSA: Nuclear Time).
 * The Doctor tells Professor Angelchrist "I'm the one the monsters are scared of." He made similar declarations in The Girl in the Fireplace and The Hungry Earth.
 * 28th century London has an oxygen factory in its center, similar to the one on the Byzantium. (DW: Flesh and Stone) This factory, however, has live animals within it.
 * Rory mentions that both he and Amy have experience with "waiting". (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Big Bang)
