Continuity
Clockwork men also appear with the Tenth Doctor in The Girl in the Fireplace and the Eighth Doctor in Anachrophobia.

There is a mention of Rose 'dressing up' while the Doctor only has a 'new shirt' (similar to The Unquiet Dead).

Rose has a conversation with one of the servants in the Imperial Club, and the girl makes her think of Gwyneth, who appeared in The Unquiet Dead.

In the club, the Doctor looks at a painting of the French Revolution and says "That's not right". In the first episode of Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child, the Doctor's granddaughter, Susan Foreman, reads a book about the French Revolution and says the same words.

The Doctor mentions to Rose at the end of the Season 2 episode Tooth and Claw that Queen Victoria suffered from a condition called Haemaphilia. This was also mentioned when The Doctor and Rose visit the British Empire Exhibition.
