Continuity
This story takes place in the mid-21st Century and at the time it was published it was assumed that it featured the K-9 model that was featured in K-9 and Company and The Five Doctors. However, the events of the 2006 episode "School Reunion", in which that version of K-9 was destroyed, suggest that the version of K-9 encountered by the Doctor is actually K-9 Mark IV, the model featured in The Sarah Jane Adventures, although as far as the Sixth Doctor is concerned, it is the same one he gave Sarah Jane initially.
Drax, who was first featured in The Armageddon Factor, returns.
The story is the latest in chronology in which Omega appears.
