 * The phrase, "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue," is used by Viola as a reference to the TARDIS. This occurred again in TV: The Big Bang.
 * The Fourth Doctor would again visit Traken and encounter a Melkur (albeit a fake one) in TV: The Keeper of Traken.
 * The Doctor says: "There's far too many impossible things happening and I haven't even had breakfast yet," a reference to a later statement by him in TV: The Five Doctors: "I try to believe in three impossible things before breakfast."
