P.R.O.B.E.: The Zero Imperative
(P.R.O.B.E. film #1) - The film was released in 1994, and seems contemporary. The story appears to begin on 8th August (as noted when a clinic worker who seems to be arriving for work checks off 7th August on her calendar, suggesting that it’s the next day). Liz’s desk calendar at one point reads (albeit somewhat hazily) “August 1994”, and roughly mid-way through the story, she flips her desk calendar to reveal that it’s now 10th August. A mortician tells Liz how unusual it is that the ground around the body he’s examining was “frozen in August”. The story ends on the night of perihelion, presumably the same day (13th August) as in 1945 when O’Kane killed his family.

P.R.O.B.E.: Unnatural Selection
and
P.R.O.B.E.: The Ghosts of Winterborne
(P.R.O.B.E. films #3-4) - As with the rest of the
P.R.O.B.E.
series, the stories seem contemporary - in these last two cases, with their release in 1996. In
Unnatural Selection
, events in 1975 are repeatedly said to be “twenty years ago” and “over twenty years ago”. The body of Alfred’s first victim was found “in early hours of July the 8th”, so
Unnatural Selection
would seem to occur in August at the earliest. In
The Ghosts of Winterborne
, enough time has passed that headmaster Gavin Purcell has been tried and convicted for his culpability in events in
The Devil of Winterborne
.
The Ghosts of Winterborne
has Andrew, a student at Winterborne, returning there after a leave of absence - possibly suggesting that it’s the start of the new term.

The Chase
(2.8) - The Doctor claims that as “this house is exactly what you would expect in a nightmare”, suspecting that the TARDIS and the Dalek time machine have landed “in a world of dreams” that “exists in the dark recesses of the human mind”. Viewers later find out the truth - the TARDIS has simply landed in a theme park. A sign proclaims that it is the “Festival of Ghana 1996”. The “Tower of London” quote is Ian’s description of what he has just seen. Quite why Peking would cancel an exhibition in Ghana is not explained.

We learn in “TV Action” that Izzy was born on 12th October, 1979, and she’s “17” in a couple of the strips. “The Company of Thieves” establishes that Izzy is short for Isabelle.
