Notes[]
- Vastra takes a seven-per-cent bone solution to intimidate Skark and his troops into submission, a reference to the seven-per-cent cocaine solution Sherlock Holmes takes in the novel The Sign of Four. Cocaine and other narcotic stimulants are a common downtime for Holmes when not involved in criminal cases, which would give him the intellectual stimulation he so distinctly craves - as the power of the solution and it's source continue to tempt Vastra throughout this story.
Continuity[]
- Skark mentions other viable Silurian hibernation cells. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians, Warriors of the Deep, AUDIO: Bloodtide, The Silurian Candidate, Call to Arms)
- Vastra mentions the Kaveetch. (AUDIO: The First Sontarans)
