  • Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones operates a Dalek in this episode, returning to Doctor Who since his brief appearance as a Cyberman in The Age of Steel.
  • This will be the longest series finale at 65 minutes long, longer even than most of the Christmas specials, except for Voyage of the Damned, which was 71 minutes.
  • Dalek Caan refers to the Doctor as a 'threefold man'. The meaning becomes clear in this episode with both the copy of the Doctor and 'Doctor-Donna'.
  • This episode marks the first series finale to show a preview of the upcoming Christmas Special. After the credits the Cybermen are said to return in the episode.
  • This episode tells us that Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister, actually died in the previous episode.
  • Davros named the Doctor 'The Destroyer of Worlds' and maybe a reference to Fires of Pompei when it was said the Doctors name was sealed in the Cascade of Medusa herself.

Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors

  • If the TARDIS's power had gone how does the monitor screen work? The heart of the TARDIS was still beating. Which could have supplied some power.
  • When Martha teleports and hears the german daleks how come the TARDIS does not translate the german? The TARDIS wasn't anywhere near her... Also, she understood German, so it wouldn't have needed to be translated.
  • Because he regenerated, then wouldn't he now technically be the eleventh doctor? Why didn't he do this every other time he regenerated? "Because he hasn't always had a dismembered limb of his own body near by"
  • The Dalek's were maintaining the atmosphere around the Earth - probably from the crucible, however when the Crucible was destroyed and the Tardis pulled the Earth back to where it should be, shouldn't the atmosphere have disappeared killing everyone on Earth? The Doctor takes over and maintaines the atmosphere from the TARDIS, he says this when he tows the Earth back
  • When the Doctor wiped Donna's mind, it looked like he only wiped the memories of the her time with the Doctor. Couldn't he have just wiped the time lord stuff that was overloading her brain? No, as if she remembers the Time Lord stuff she will burn up, and it would be easy to remember if you're travelling around with one!
  • Wouldn't the Nuclear Warheads placed under the crust have melted? Well, UNIT most likely would have thought about this, and provided some sort of way to protect them. They do have a vast arsenal in their power after all.
  • When we see Martha saying goodbye to her Mother, the laptop in the background cycling through number continuously, but when we have the close-up of Martha, the numbers have frozen but we can still hear them
  • If Donna, a human, can't live with a timelord's mind; doesn't that mean neither can the human Doctor? The human Doctor was half time lord, the mental half time lord, such as mind, but the physical part human (like Jenny), such as aging.Jenny was full timelord, but your point stands. He was simply a different part human.
  • What was the point of the doctor deactivating jacks wrist teleporter if he can just put the numbers back in again. He may have locked it so only he can reactivate it.Or changed the numbers required to something more complex.
  • We didnt find out who was controlling the Daleks if Davros was called a "pet". It is assumed to be the Red Dalek, as he was the one seen giving most of the orders in this and the previous episode.
  • Why did Martha have to travel to Germany to activate the Osterhagen key when the other soldiers were in pods in their home countries? the UNIT base in Britain - as we saw - was destroyed by the daleks. The nearest Pod, would have been in Germany.
  • Dalek Caan stated that a companion would die. However none actually died, as Donna just lost her memory of the Doctor.The doctor said that the part of Donna that went with the doctor died which could possibly what Caan meant. Maybe Donna dying was the prophecy, but the Doctor changed it.The Donna that travelled with the doctor died. Physically still the same but very different person. Russel T. Davies has done this before, with Rose being prophesied to "die in battle" in season 2, but instead just getting stranded in another universe.

Dalek television stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Space Museum are not counted due to the Daleks' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories, while stories such as The Wheel in Space and The Waters of Mars are absent due to the Daleks' only contribution being references to past Dalek stories. Stories like The Wedding of River Song, Hell Bent, Once, Upon Time and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Daleks' appearance being restricted to a single scene of no consequence to the plot of the story, while the TV movie is also absent due to the Daleks only being heard from off-screen.
