Removed uncredited, unsourced cast.
- Auton - Natalie Danks-Smith (uncredited; archival footage)
Are we sure that there's even archival footage of the scene retelling TV: Rose? Certainly, most of it is newly-shot footage. There is no way that Elton is inserted Name of the Doctor-style into these shots; the BBC actually filmed new footage. -- Tybort (talk page) 15:41, November 10, 2013 (UTC)
Continuity[[edit source]]
- Just before his demise, the Abzorbaloff angrily yells, "You stupid bast..." at Elton, mirroring the Slitheen's final words of "Oh, boll..." prior to the destruction of 10 Downing Street. (TV: World War Three)
I'm pretty sure he's saying "The cane! You stupid man...oh no!" There's definitely no "st" sound, whatever he's saying. -- Tybort (talk page) 17:00, November 10, 2013 (UTC)
- I think you're right. He has a habit of calling Elton "stupid man" throughout the episode. Shambala108 ☎ 17:08, November 10, 2013 (UTC)
Transport manager[[edit source]]
- Elton once worked for the haulage company Rita Logistics.
I can't say this for certain because of Marc Warren's strong London accent, and I don't work in haulage to know if the following makes sense, but to me it sounds like "transport manager, retail logistics, modest little haulage company", i.e. he's managing logistics for retail in a small company. -- Tybort (talk page) 00:37, November 11, 2013 (UTC)
