- 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.
