References
- The Morpheus sleep deprivation pods play a hologram of the song Mr. Sandman, and is used as a key on the security system.
- The sleep deprivation pods are named Morpheus after the god of sleep.
- The Doctor quotes the lines "sleep no more" from Macbeth.
- The Doctor argues with Clara's naming of the Sandmen, saying that he does the naming. He complains that "it's the Silurians all over again."
Story notes
- This is the first televised episode of Doctor Who to carry no opening titles. The episode title and writer credit were instead placed at the start of the closing credits. The Big Finish audio story AUDIO: LIVE 34 previously utilised a similar format of presentation, with no titles or credits whatsoever. However, when Rassmussen's initial video footage ends, the series title appears in the form of a code.
- The story is notable for using the found footage format, and for using elements of first person monologue told by Professor Rassmusssen.
- It is also notable for being the first episode in the series to cast an openly transgender actress (Bethany Black).[1]
