=== The Master ===
* The Master is upset with his coffee, and expresses his opinion that one should not order coffee in England until the mid-1980s.
* The Master's TARDIS changes into a red telephone booth. The Master finds the semblance to the Doctor's TARDIS humorous, claiming the chameleon circuit is "trying to be amusing".
* Before using the Chameleon Arch, the Master plots an automatic dematerialisation for his TARDIS.
=== People ===
* The proprietor of the café in Stamford Bridge changes genders during the course of their visit.
* "Mrs Wilson" refers to her late husband, Brian, who supposedly died 4 years ago. She says she moved to No.24 Marigold Lane around a year later, as her former home had too many memories.
=== Time Lords ===
* The Master claims not to be an enemy of the Time Lords, in contrast to a Dalek, Cyberman or Sontaran.
* By pointing her staser at the Master's hearts, Tandeeka believes that regeneration would not be possible should she shoot.
=== Earth ===
* The Master and Cole visit Stamford Bridge. The Master refers to a battle against the Norwegians which took place here in 1066.
* The Time Lords' Research and Development Repository is hidden in Stamford Bridge.
=== Technology ===
* No.24 Marigold Lane uses synchronous dimensional architecture to disguise it, rather than simple dimensional transcendentalism with an outer shell. Both buildings exist, one on top of the other.
* The Master uses the Heavenly Paradigm to change history.
=== Substances ===
* Tandeeka uses balidromite to poison Cole, which renders him unconscious.
=== Planets ===
* Peltrax was dead for centuries as it was plundered by its people. The changes the Master makes cause it to become a leading planet in clean energy.
* Bortrom was a cinder since the Master was a Time Tot. The species becomes renowned for their spaceship design and prowess.
* Chelfrey was a famed recreational planet. It now ceases to exist.
* Keetol was the site of one of the first successful Time Lord campaigns in the Time War. The Daleks wished to mine it for weapons-grade rocks. The Master was present at the battle.
* The planet Talfall is now dead.
* The planet Auto 4 was once dead, now home to a thriving munitions trade.
