Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
This is one of many modern DWU references to Metebelis III. Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor finally making his way to that planet on-screen marked the culmination of his era.
However, the Eight Legs' language does not seem to have been discussed before. The Metebelin phrase is given a distinctive in-universe pronunciation in Sophie Aldred's audiobook reading of The Secret in Vault 13 [+]Loading...["The Secret in Vault 13 (novel)"].
