Worldbuilding

  • The Doctor once spent three years in orbit because the HADS prevented him from landing anywhere.

Notes

  • Unlike the other two 2023 specials, The Star Beast and The Giggle, the marketing of Wild Blue Yonder was kept incredibly vague and told very little about the plot. The BBC wished to maintain the surprises of the story and Russell T Davies wanted one of the specials to be a complete mystery.[2] According to director Tom Kingsley, the secrecy had naught to do with "any surprise returning actors or villains", but because "we thought you might find it fun to watch it without knowing what's going to happen next".[4]
  • This story's upcoming debut was mentioned alongside the other 2023 specials in the non-fiction feature Back in Business published in Doctor Who The Official Annual 2024 on 7 September 2023.
  • The preview of this episode released in DWM 597 revealed a teaser of the plot and a snippet of dialogue between the Doctor and Donna.[2]
    • It also revealed a cast list consisting of Tennant, Tate, and three other names that had all been replaced with a "[REDACTED]". These were later revealed to be Nathaniel Curtis, Susan Twist, and Bernard Cribbins.
  • The title of the episode was named after the song "Wild Blue Yonder".[2]
  • David Tennant called this special "unlike any Doctor Who episode ever", referring to the specials as a whole as "Russell [T Davies] off the leash".[5]
  • This will be the second story to stream exclusively on Disney+ outside of the United Kingdom.
  • According to an advertisement on the BBC, the robot featured in promotional materials is named "Jimbo".[6]
  • In Doctor Who Magazine Issue 597, Davies teased five words that would play a part in the special: Southampton, vegetable, bean, starlight, and Flux. He also revealed that the history of both the Flux and the Timeless Child would be "dealt with very slightly in this episode".[7]
  • This episode was dedicated to the memory of Bernard Cribbins, who passed away over a year before transmission.
