Synopsis
As the Doctor and her friends end up stranded without the TARDIS on a hospital ship in space, with a strange and potentially deadly intruder on board, it is up to them, the crew, and the patients to figure out what it is, what it wants, and how to stop it before any more tragedies occur.

References
The Doctor
- The Doctor claims she is a doctor of medicine, science, engineering, candy floss, LEGO, philosophy, music, problems, people and hope, but mostly hope.
Culture
- Graham mentions how he has watched every episode of Call the Midwife, although he looks away at the squeamish parts.
Species
- Gifftan males and females can become pregnant, with males only birthing male children and vice-versa. Gifftan young are gestated for a week in a pregnancy sac before the sac is painlessly cut open during birth.
- Gifftan babies are born with two umbilical cords.
- Images of a Cyberman, an Ood, a Weeping Angel, a Raxacoricofallapatorian, a Sontaran, a Silent, a Silurian, and a Zygon appear on a console screen in rapid succession before Mabli selects a briefing on the Pting.
- Time Lords possess an organ called an exo-spleen.
Story notes
- Pretty much every scientific fact about anti-matter given by the Doctor in this episode is true to real science.[1]
- Tim Price receives a creator credit for the Pting, the first time such a credit is given on a creature or character's first appearance.
