* This is one of the first times since the revival of ''Doctor Who'' that the issue of how many regenerations has been mentioned, with the number given as 507. This is in contrast to the fact that it has previously been mentioned as being only twelve, giving each Time Lord a total of thirteen lives. [[Russell T Davies]], who wrote this episode, stated in an interview, "They only said 13 once or twice." <ref>[http://www.sfx.co.uk/2010/10/26/interview-russell-t-davies-talks-about-that-sarah-jane-adventures-line/#ixzz15c1mcDa8 SFX - INTERVIEW Russell T Davies talks about THAT Sarah Jane Adventures line] <small>accessed 18th November 2010</small></ref><ref>Contrary to Davies' comments, the 12-regeneration limit has in fact been referenced on numerous occasions, and was a major plot point in at least three stories: [[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'', ''[[Mawdryn Undead (TV story)|Mawdryn Undead]]'', and ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who: The TV Movie]]''. The idea of regeneration limits had been addressed numerous times as well, such as in [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'' and ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]''.</ref> It's worth noting that, within the context of the episode, the Doctor is simply teasing Clyde. In a serious context, he really is limited to twelve regenerations, which he confirms in ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]''. | * This is one of the first times since the revival of ''Doctor Who'' that the issue of how many regenerations has been mentioned, with the number given as 507.
