| - Chris Parker is a Time Lady who used the Chameleon Arch on herself, and ended up on 1980s Earth. She wears the scarf because it makes her feel comfortable (a buried memory of either Romana or the Doctor), although the use of a huge fur coat as a disguise weighs the evidence closer to the Doctor. Nonetheless, Brenda was her companion at the time the Arch was used, and is the only person who knows where Chris' TARDIS is (hidden in Chris' bedroom, with a safeguard enabled — it can only be revealed by activating Chris' Sonic Lipstick through Brenda's glasses at a certain part of the room {where the camera is situated at the beginning of the film}, hence why she is mortified upon losing them). Brenda's reaction to the people in the subway station hints at an incident on Gallifrey that may have led to the Arch's use — especially the crazy young man, who looks enough like the Master of lore that Brenda is afraid the Time Lords have found her and Chris. The "mob" is a group of rogue Time Lords (Faction Paradox?) that went to Earth to establish a sort of "mob mentality" and rise in power to the point where they can really screw with history from the inside. The notes in the Playboy issue are time-space codes, hence why they go after it (they recognize Chris for who she really is and think she'll report them to the High Council). As for the centerfold...that is "Chris", albeit before she has posed for it. The "mob" member that is eventually given the magazine is a spy on behalf of Gallifrey (although officially, he is there unofficially). Chris does not have a fob watch (it is uncertain what her memories are sealed in), but has the (inactive) Sonic Lipstick for one logical reason — if Brenda had the Lipstick, she could be captured by knowledgeable individuals wanting to steal Chris' TARDIS. (Yes, I know. In my defense, having the mentality that it's Doctor Who was the only way I could watch the movie.)
