Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Attendant, once a palace servant in Nero's Rome complicit in Poppaea's poisoning scheme, now reappears in 20th century London as an anonymous attendant at Madame Tussauds, enabling the Auton infiltration by turning off the lights."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Across centuries, the Attendant figure persists as a dutiful, anonymous enabler of evil schemes—first serving poison under Poppaea's orders, then serving the Nestene agenda by leaving the Doctor and Liz in darkness. This continuity traces a character trajectory of unquestioning obedience to malevolent authority, showing how the same archetype of 'the attendant' facilitates different forms of conquest across time.
