  • Like DW: The End of the World , this episode features the Doctor taking a new companion into the distant future for her first trip in the TARDIS.
  • In a short clip on the BBC's Doctor Who website, the Doctor says that in the 29th century the Earth was roasted with solar flares and that the human race had to migrate out into the stars.
  • In the latest UK trailer, a shot of "Starship UK" was seen, showing what appeared to be skyscrapers with names of various counties of Britain on them. [10]

Rumours

  • It was originally rumoured that Sophie Okonedo was to play the character called "Liz Ten" which then was rumoured to be "Queen Elizabeth X". Sophie Okonedo has now been confirmed to play The Masked Woman, So whether Sophie Okonedo is still meant to be "Liz Ten" or another actor to play this, is still to be revealed.
  • Lady GaGa is rumoured to be mentioned in this Episode[source needed]
  • It is rumoured that The Doctor and Amy will be swallowed by a creature 'The Beast' and have to make the 'Beast' regurgitate then to escape. This is proven more likely with them both being drenched (wearing there wet clothes) in the trailer[11]. If this rumour is true, it is possible that 'The Beast' is a Space Whale [12].

Dalek television stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Space Museum are not counted due to the Daleks' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories, while stories such as The Wheel in Space and The Waters of Mars are absent due to the Daleks' only contribution being references to past Dalek stories. Stories like The Wedding of River Song, Hell Bent, Once, Upon Time and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Daleks' appearance being restricted to a single scene of no consequence to the plot of the story, while the TV movie is also absent due to the Daleks only being heard from off-screen.
