Behind the scenes
- In the real world, Gandalf is a character from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. Televised Doctor Who never explicitly makes this connection.
- Ian McKellen played Gandalf in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy; He later provided his voice for the Great Intelligence in TV: The Snowmen. He also made a cameo as himself in costume as Gandalf on the set of The Hobbit in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot.
