  • Martha's I-Spyder e-book mentions the Sea Devils.
  • Martha mentions having previously seen dinosaurs on her travels. This occurred during the Tenth Doctor New Series Adventures novel Made of Steel.
  • The Doctor names the dodo "Dorothea". Dorothea was the name of former First Doctor companion, Dorothea "Dodo" Chaplet.
