• 23 year old Martha Jones mum is called Francine, her father Clive, her brother Leo and her sister Tish. Her cousin who worked for the Torchwood Institute was called Adeola.
• On 26th August 2007 Daleks from around the UK gathered in Manchester at the Museum of Science and Industry in an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.
• The Carrionites were banished at the beginning of time by the Eternals.
• By coincidence, the Plasmavore (Florence Finnegan) in Smith and Jones also said “Burn with me!”
• The set for 42 was built in a single week in an old paper mill
• The stasis chamber in 42 was also used as the MRI machine in Smith and Jones.
• 42 was the first Doctor Who episode to be set entirely on a spaceship.

Presumably this means New Who not the classic series.

• The Dalek’s home planet of Skaro was destroyed by the Seventh Doctor.
• If you don’t give Ood orders, they die. They come from the Ood Sphere a planet in the Horsehead Nebula
