Story notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • This was the last Tardisode to be produced.
  • Unlike the other Tardisodes (apart from Tardisode 7), this one is not a prelude, instead taking place during the Battle of Canary Wharf, which takes place in TV: Doomsday.
  • Writer Gareth Roberts had several ideas for the Tardisode accompanying Doomsday before the final version. Initially, it was to involve Jackie Tyler discussing her daughter. Roberts' first idea for the Tardisode culminated with the Tenth Doctor laying flowers at what are revealed to be Rose's and Jackie's graves. Later, he conceived the notion of having the Tardisode take the form of a dating service advertisement, with the man watching it ultimately attacked by a Cyberman.[1]
