* {{Prequel}}: To the televised series. This is the very first ''Doctor Who'' story.
* OriginStory: The TARDIS isn't just unreliable because she's old - she was actively being decommissioned and taken apart when the Doctor and Susan stole her (which suddenly makes her desire to run away in "The Doctor's Wife" even more understandable).

Tropes:



* {{Retcon}}: Par for the course in Doctor Who. The Archaeons on the Moon are seeding the planetary body above them with lightning, which the Doctor determined they were using to nurture life in a controlled environment. This A) disagrees with the idea that Moon appeared when Silurian civilization was at its height (Though that [[ArtisticLicenseAstronomy was always nonsense]].) and B) contradicts the origin of life on Earth as seen in "City Of Death".

* WritingAroundTrademarks: Susan never names who was [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E13TheNameOfTheDoctor the person who convinced the Doctor to switch TARDISes when escaping Gallifrey]], partially because Big Finish didn't have the rights to use revival-era characters at the time this story was produced. However, The BBC (the trademark holders) asked for this to be added to the script to provide continuity with the 11th Doctor story and still keep their [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope respective trademark statuses as they were]].
