Story notes

  • The title was confirmed on the cover of Doctor Who Magazine 421.
  • A review for the episode by Beehive City states that the year is actually 2020 despite the press release saying 2015. It may have been changed due to some events of the previous episode happen in 2015.

Rumours

  • It is rumoured that there will be two types of Silurians (the original and a new evolved type). This is with the appearance of 2 similar but different types seen in many of the trailers. This was proven false as in the trailer at the end of Amy's Choice, we saw that one of the types previously seen was in fact a mask covering the Silurian beneath.
  • It is also rumoured that the Sea Devils will appear as one of the races seen in the trailers. This was proven false as in the trailer at the end of Amy's Choice, we saw that one of the types previously seen was in fact a mask covering the Silurian beneath.
  • Melanie Walters will appear in this episode and in Cold Blood. This is likely as Walters has been confirmed as a guest star. Also, she is Welsh, and The Hungry Earth and Cold Blood are set in a Welsh village.
