Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Several episodes aired in 2013 have featured references to Cumbria, constituting an apparent "Cumbrian agenda". It started with scenes actually set there in Bells, followed by The Rings of Akhaten having a reference to the Lake District. Hide later had two separate references: a rather negative one to Carlisle, and the Doctor's request to save Hila Tacorien with some sturdy rope and Kendal Mint Cakes.
