  • A small screen graphic of the TARDIS is described as having a "video echo effect from a 1970s Top of the Pops."
  • The several console terminals on the planet Goronos reminded Anji of that film done by the man who did Time Bandits and was originally going to be titled 1984 and a Half.

    • Continuity

  • The man who wakes Anji has been confirmed to be Sabbath in disguise
  • The Collectors also appeared in Heart of TARDIS and Sky Pirates!.
