* CanonDiscontinuity: The depiction of Jo in this book is difficult to reconcile with her later appearance in "[[Recap/TheSarahJaneAdventuresS3E5E6DeathOfTheDoctor Death of the Doctor]]". We can perhaps imagine that this book takes place in a "rough patch" of Jo's marriage, but she is well and truly on her own here. The word "divorce" doesn't appear in the book, but it's clear she has total financial responsibility for her child and herself. Moreover, she's only got one child in this story, Matthew, who just started high school. Death to the Doctor says she's got seven kids. It's hard to see how she could have six more kids after Matthew, with Cliff, starting at roughly the age of thirty-five. Additionally the separation/divorce from Cliff has left her having to hold down two jobs in Hackney. How exactly she was supposed to be globetrotting given this bleak reality is unclear.
