Story notes

The dark green Raxacoricofallapatorian.
  • After portraying the Nightmare Man, Julian Bleach became one of the few actors to have appeared in Doctor Who, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
  • The Raxacoricofallapatorian at the beginning of the story does not appear to be a member of the Slitheen family. Its skin colour is a darker green which also covers its stomach, and it also has green fingernails at one point. In the closing credits, however, the Raxacoricofallapatorian is referred to as a Slitheen. It was also referred to as this on the official Sarah Jane website. [1]
