Continuity
- Lucie stopped traveling with the Doctor in Death in Blackpool. The Monk's advertisement that she respond to was predominantly featured in Situation Vacant. Between Death in Blackpool and The Resurrection of Mars, the only story Lucie was heard in was The Book of Kells, but she did not directly encounter the Doctor.
- Lucie mentions that she visited the Sensorites with The Monk.
- The Monk's TARDIS console was damaged after the Tamsin tricked him into taking the wrong directional circuit in The Book of Kells.
- The Monk's SEP filter is a reference to Douglas Adams' novel Life, the Universe and Everything, which featured a space ship equipped with a Somebody Else's Problem field. It is similar to the Perception filter, which is often mentioned in the newer Doctor Who television stories.
- Tamsin and the Monk return in Lucie Miller / To the Death.
Broadcast
The Resurrection of Mars was broadcast on digital radio station BBC Radio 4 Extra on 14 Jan 2013 as a single hour-long episode.[1][2]
Cover image
The preview cover image differs from the cover included with the physical disc; the true cover reduces the size of the Ice Warrior image to focus on Lucie and the Monk, and it does give cover credit to their portrayers, Smith and Garden.
