- Jamie and Zoe had their memories of travelling with the Doctor erased by the Time Lords in The War Games, but retained each of their initial meetings with him (in The Highlanders and The Wheel in Space, respectively.)
- Rob Roy and Nemo return (from City of Spires and The Wreck of the Titan, respectively.)
- The Fifth Doctor met Vlad the Impaler (the inspiration for Dracula) in Son of the Dragon. As mentioned, Vlad was briefly engaged to Erimem.
- The story arc that concludes here was started in City of Spires.
- The Cybermen in the story are the same model used in The Invasion.
