Notes
"Season's Streamings" promo image providing the story's title.[1]
- The title of the story was officially announced by the official Disney+ Twitter account in a "Season's Streamings" promotional image on 6 November 2023,[1] ahead of any BBC announcements.
- This marks the return of the Christmas Specials; in the instalment of Russell T Davies's column Letter from the Showrunner printed in DWM 585, Davies had stated that a "Christmas Special" would be returning as the format of the first full episode of the Fifteenth Doctor's tenure, although clarifying that he considered the term to be synonymous with the Festive Specials. The Disney+ announcement clarified that The Church on Ruby Road will be a traditional Christmas Special.
- Parts of the script of this episode were used in auditions for Ruby Sunday: the script for self-tapes from potential actors were truncated from the scripts of this episode and the next, and the longer script for in-person auditions[4] in London[5] was adapted solely from this episode.[4]
