As the first story broadcast in 2013, its marketing had a similar feel to that of a "series opener", but the [[British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] firmly maintained that it was merely the beginning of the second part of series 7, even threatening legal action against some sources that falsely claimed otherwise. The episode also introduced the concept of "[[Missy|the woman in the shop]]" who was a mysterious person somehow keeping the Doctor and Clara together. This arc would be carried on well into [[Series 8 (Doctor Who)|Series 8]] and would be touched upon in the Series 8 finale ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]''. | As the first story broadcast in 2013, its marketing had a similar feel to that of a "series opener", but the [[British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] firmly maintained that it was merely the beginning of the second part of series 7, even threatening legal action against some sources that falsely claimed otherwise.
