The Doctor takes Rose back to London - but their trip coincides with another, more dramatic alien arrival as a spaceship plunges into the Thames. In the ensuing panic, the authorities quarantine the capital from the rest of the world - and even Rose's own home is no refuge from the sinister Slitheen.

The Doctor: (to Mickey) Of course I remember your name. Wasn't it "Ricky?"
| The Doctor: (to a Slitheen) D'you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?

When the spaceship hits Big Ben, the time on the clock is approximately 10:55, however when it is seen on the news later, the time is about 6:10. It seems unlikely that the clock would continue working after such damage.
| The Crest of the HM Government on the computer screen is incorrect, the lion and unicorn are on the wrong sides, and the roses, thistles and clovers are missing.

The London Albion Hospital is later revisited (in 1941) by the Doctor in The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances.
| One of the experts on aliens is UNIT, the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce, a group which the Doctor interacted with regularly in Doctor Who (1963), especially during the time he was exiled on Earth.
