Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- A real-life film production company called "Bad Wolf" was co-founded by Julie Gardner in 2015, making it one of the rare cases of an element of the fictional Doctor Who universe actually coming to exist in the real world. This was, of course, no coincidence but rather a knowing wink at the series 1 story arc, Gardner having been an executive producer on both of Russell T Davies' eras of Doctor Who. This company, together with BBC Studios, produced Davies' second era.
