- Rather than being exterminated by the Daleks, (as seen in The Stolen Earth) Harriet falls through a trapdoor and escapes on a motorbike. Regarding the change Russell T Davies explained that Phil Collinson, "who was the producer on Doctor Who when [they] killed Harriet Jones [had] nagged [Davies] about that ever since. So the first thing [he] did was send [the poem] to him". When asked "if it counted", he replied, "Absolutely. She's my character, that's my episode, I say that's true."[1] On Twitter, Davies later expanded his tale of Harriet's escape; "Harriet escaped! Her bike zoomed under the Dalek saucer, into the helicarrier of Miss Fitzpatrick's Collection, a cabal of billionaires. And far away, the Trickster smiled as another piece in his long game fell into place...".[2]
