*The word "Exterminieren", which the German Daleks use, is not in common use. In the German dubs of the episodes, the word used in "Vernichten" (literally, "Reduce to nothing"; colloquially, "Destroy"). The full dialogue for the German Daleks is as follows: "Exterminieren! Exterminieren! Halt! Sonst werden wir Sie exterminieren! Sie sind jetzt ein Gefangener der Daleks! Exterminieren! Exterminieren!" This translates as: "Exterminate! Exterminate! Stop! Or you will be exterminated. You are a prisoner of the Daleks. Exterminate! Exterminate!" | *The word "Exterminieren", which the German Daleks use, is not in common use.

*This marks the departure of [[Catherine Tate]] ([[Donna Noble]]) and [[Billie Piper]] ([[Rose Tyler]]). In an interview with ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', Piper was quoted as saying she doesn't see this as a permanent depature. Catherine Tate has no plans to return at the moment, but she has not ruled out a return in the future. [[Elizabeth Sladen]], in an interview published after the episode was broadcast, said she doesn't expect to appear on ''Doctor Who'' again, although her own spinoff, ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' would subsequently continue a few months later. | *This marks the departure of [[Catherine Tate]] ([[Donna Noble]]) and [[Billie Piper]] ([[Rose Tyler]]).

*This is the third season finale of four to have a character in the TARDIS speaking about possible places to visit before the unexpected departure of a character. In ''[[The Parting of the Ways]]'' it's the [[Ninth Doctor]] speaking of places like the planet [[Barcelona]] before regenerating; in ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]'', the Doctor suggests visiting [[Agatha Christie]] (among others) before Martha announces her departure; in this episode, Donna speaks of visiting [[Felspoon]] and meeting [[Charlie Chaplin]] before her mind overloads.

*Jack has flirted with or shown interest in all of the Doctor's companions appearing in this episode save Donna and Jackie. While he may currently consider Jackie off-limits because of her marriage and her connection to Rose, it is interesting to note that Jack does not pursue the two women who have exhibited the most aggressive attitudes towards the opposite sex, and who would arguably be the most likely to return his advances. | *Jack has flirted with or shown interest in all of the Doctor's companions appearing in this episode save Donna and Jackie.
