Continuity
For Jamie recounting the story, The Glorious Revolution occurs 42 years after he was returned to his native era by the Time Lords in TV: The War Games.
 * The Time Lord refers to Jamie's visit to the Moon in 2070 (TV: The Moonbase) and his encounters with the Daleks (TV: The Evil of the Daleks; AUDIO: Fear of the Daleks), the Cybermen (TV: The Moonbase, The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Wheel in Space, The Invasion), the Macra (TV: The Macra Terror) and the Krotons (TV: The Krotons). Once his memories are restored, Jamie goes on to mention the Ice Warriors (TV: The Ice Warriors, The Seeds of Death), the Quarks (TV: The Dominators) and the War Games (TV: The War Games).
 * James II mentions to the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe that the English Catholics were falsely accused of having started the Great Fire of London on 2 September 1666 during the reign of his elder brother Charles II, who was a Protestant. In actuality, it was started when a Terileptil weapon overloaded in a bakery on Pudding Lane. The Doctor's fifth incarnation played a major role in causing the fire. (TV: The Visitation) During his fourth incarnation, he had previously been blamed for starting the fire. (TV: Pyramid of Mars, PROSE: The Republican's Story)
 * While arguing with the Doctor about altering history, Jamie refers to Professor Zaroff (TV: The Underwater Menace), Ramón Salamander (TV: The Enemy of the World) and Tobias Vaughn (TV: The Invasion).
 * After being returned to his own time by the Time Lords. Jamie married Kirsty McLaren. They had at least eight children and numerous grandchildren by 1788. (TV: The War Games, The Highlanders) One of their distant descendants was a 21st century history student at the University of Edinburgh named Heather McCrimmon, who became a companion of the Tenth Doctor. (COMIC: The Chromosome Connection)
 * The First Doctor previously met James II's paternal grandfather, King James I, in 1605 and 1609 (PROSE: The Plotters, The Empire of Glass) whereas the First and Second Doctor's former companion Polly Wright unwittingly helped his father King Charles I to escape from Roundhead captivity in December 1648 (PROSE: The Roundheads).
 * The Nemesis statue entered orbit around Earth on 23 November 1688, several weeks after the events of this story, as it did on that date once every 25 years from 1638 to 1988. It is possible that the passage of the Nemesis statue may have heralded the outbreak of the Glorious Revolution. (TV: Silver Nemesis)
 * Jamie previously disguised himself as a woman while aboard the Outer Space Correctional Establishment. (AUDIO: Prison in Space)
 * During his fifth incarnation, the Doctor and his companions Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka visited a replica of the Palace of Whitehall in the city of Lupara on Luparis, which had been created by the Hexagora from their records of 16th century London. (AUDIO: Hexagora)
