Notes:
John Freeman has this to say about this particular strip:

"This strip pays homage to the Seventh Doctor: not a favourite for many, but I was editing Doctor Who Magazine at the time and both Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred gave their all to making the show the best they could in the face of limited budgets, I always felt."

As a matter of pure opinion, it also points out that, really, Greatcoat owes a lot, in terms of its concept, to Doctor Who. John is, in Doctor Who terms, the "companion" of the Greatcoat, who, as a witness to a fairly large slice of history, is a kind of time traveller. The fact that a greatcoat was chosen to be representative of time traveling was probably, in no small measure, to do with the fact that most Doctors have in fact worn similar garments.

For most Doctor Who fans, this strip would include a non-canonical appearance of the Seventh Doctor—but such is not necessarily the case. It's such a brief appearance, it could go either way, really.
