Continuity

This is Jago and Litefoot's first encounter with the Doctor since the Weng-Chiang incident in 1889. (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang) They would later meet the Fourth Doctor again in 1899 (AUDIO: The Justice of Jalxar), the Sixth Doctor later still (AUDIO: Stage Fright), and the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor later still, but respectively for each other. (AUDIO: The Jago & Litefoot Revival)
In her personal timeline, Leela's last encounter with the Doctor occurred in the Dark Tower in the Death Zone on Gallifrey during his eighth incarnation. (AUDIO: Zagreus) In the interim, however, she encountered an alternative version of the Sixth Doctor known as the Burner Doctor on the Gallifrey of an alternative timeline. (AUDIO: Disassembled)
Litefoot tells the Doctor that he and Jago previously destroyed a Sandman. (AUDIO: Jago in Love)
The Doctor congratulates Sergeant Quick on his promotion. (AUDIO: The Bloodless Soldier)
Jago refers to the metal spheres from the future which damaged Litefoot's house. (AUDIO: Chronoclasm) Litefoot complains that it is still undergoing repairs. (AUDIO: Jago in Love, Beautiful Things)
The Doctor makes use of a Stattenheim remote control. (TV: The Mark of the Rani, TV: The Two Doctors, PROSE: World Game)
Litefoot refers to Winnie O'Connor's time cracker. (AUDIO: The Lonely Clock)
Like the Temperon vessel, the TARDIS was dragged to the 1890s as a result of Payne's temporal experiments. His experiments also prevented Leela's Time Ring from functioning. (AUDIO: Chronoclasm)
