Ace says she is wearing Doc Martens.
Ace asks the Doctor if he has ever been to Southend.
Rhodes remembers fighting in Korea in December 1950.
A poster in the diner advertises an adaptation of Shakespeare's play Richard the Third, retitled as Tricky Dicky!, starring Howard Keel, Sonia Henry and Mickey Rooney.

Notes[]

Similar to the Cyberman in COMIC: Junk-Yard the standard Cyberman are depicted with Cyber-bodies mostly resembling those from The Tenth Planet, with the sleeve hosing from The Moonbase and The Tomb of the Cybermen.
Though the term is not used in this story, the drones used by the Cybermen are evidently Cybermats. Indeed, they are described as "caterpillars" by Ace, just Jamie McCrimmon mistook a Cybermat for a caterpillar in TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen.

Continuity[]

The TARDIS' chameleon circuit is working, and has changed its form into a Cadillac. (PROSE: Blood Heat, Conundrum)
Ace asks the Doctor if she can get a curry, but he says they had not been imported into the US at that point in time. She asked a similar question at Gabriel Chase in 1883. (TV: Ghost Light)
Ace remembers battling the Cybermen (TV: Silver Nemesis) and diving into icy water. (TV: The Curse of Fenric)
These Cybermen are from Mondas before Mondas' appearance in TV: The Tenth Planet.
The Cybermen's ship is adorned with the same embossed logos that also adorn their tombs. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen)

Cyberman stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.
