  • Matt Smith’s favourite footballer is “Stuart Pearce- hard tackling, great left-back for [Nottingham] Forest”
  • Early revamped masks for the Silurians would have featured remote-controlled features and looked more reminiscent of the 1970’s type but a more human look with sculptured face pieces was chosen instead. Each mask made could only be worn once.
  • Alaya and Restac were played by the same actress with different markings added to the basic face.
