* The regeneration is presented differently from other regenerations shown in the revived series, with the use of a prolonged explosion of energy occurring before the actor transitions. The final transition consists of a brief flash of light around the actor's head. | * The regeneration is presented differently from other regenerations shown in the revived series, with the use of a prolonged explosion of energy occurring before the actor transitions.

* Before filming for this special began in September 2013, [[Matt Smith]] agreed to play a role in the American film, ''How to Catch a Monster''. His character was depicted as having a thug-like buzz cut, which meant Smith had to have his signature coif completely shorn off. By the time the filming was underway for the special, Matt's hair had not grown back enough to fill out the Eleventh Doctor's hairstyle. Choosing a quick solution, he had his head shaved bald and donned a hairpiece identical to his coif, which also made it easier for makeup artists to apply ageing effects through older-looking hairpieces. | * Before filming for this special began in September 2013, [[Matt Smith]] agreed to play a role in the American film, ''How to Catch a Monster''.

** Coincidentally, [[Karen Gillan]] had also shaved her head for a role in the Marvel film ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' and wore a wig alongside Matt Smith in their final bow on the series. | |||
* During the filming of the special, Matt Smith suffered an injury to his leg and later had to visit a physical therapist to recuperate from the accident. This injury inspired a rumour that the script for the special would be altered to have the Eleventh Doctor lose a leg when the Weeping Angels attacked. The rumour was proven false when no such event took place in the episode. | * During the filming of the special, Matt Smith suffered an injury to his leg and later had to visit a physical therapist to recuperate from the accident.
