* HereWeGoAgain: After all the effort the Doctor put into making Peladon and the Federation a better place, it has only managed to get ''worse''. Another crackpot advisor oversees its ruler and is even more execution slap-happy than his late predecessor, while the Ice Warriors are no longer friendly to the Doctor, but hostile.

* HistoryRepeats: After all the effort the Doctor put into making Peladon and the Federation a better place, it has only managed to get ''worse''. Peladon has regressed from trust back to as it was during its medieval, crusader mentality-dominated days. Another crackpot advisor oversees its ruler and is even more execution slap-happy than his late predecessor, while the Ice Warriors are no longer friendly to the Doctor, but hostile. Oh, and another unintelligible mute man is the ruler's champion.

"Glorious Goodwood", one of the earliest recorded audio stories of ''Doctor Who'', takes place between this serial and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E5PlanetOfTheSpiders Planet of the Spiders]]". It was actually filmed during Jon Pertwee's soon-to-conclude tenure right before he left the role of the Doctor. However, it never made it to air and was reallocated the shelves of the BBC Archives as an unfinished production. It was rediscovered in 2005, after Pertwee had passed, and included on '' Doctor Who at the BBC: Volume 3'', a CD containing stories narrated by Elisabeth Sladen, who was still alive at the time of release.

It's established in the first Peladon story that "Alpha Centauri" isn't the character's name, it's short for "Ambassador from Alpha Centauri" (presumably hir real name is unpronounceable or something)
