This is the first story for Ace Bhatti as the Sixteenth Doctor, and the first story for Jayd Johnson as Chrissie Finch.
This is the second story to have a Shakespeare play as a plot point, the first being Season 47's The Shakespeare Code.
Chrissie is the first companion to originate from a historical period since Sammy Thompson.
This is the first, and so far only story in the franchise's history to feature the return of a historical figure.

Continuity

The Doctor has encountered witch-like beings before. (DW: The Shakespeare Code, The Food of Love)
Chrissie is not the first individual originating from a period of Scottish history to travel with the Doctor, the first was Jamie McCrimmon. (DW: The Highlanders-The War Games)
