Story notes
Specific to theatrical presentation
- A specially recorded scene similar to the Strax Field Reports was shown before the episode in its showing in cinemas featuring the Paternoster Gang: Vastra, Jenny Flint, and Strax.

- A live Q & A in London, hosted by Zoe Ball with Peter Capaldi, Jenna-Louise Coleman, and Steven Moffat, was screened to cinemas following the showing of Deep Breath.

Continuity
- The Twelfth Doctor often reflects that he finds the current situation of robots harvesting human organs to repair a ship to be naggingly familiar (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace), but his addled brain is unable to make the connection even when he notes that the ship- the SS Marie Antoinette- is the sister ship to the SS Madame De Pompadour.
- The Doctor mentions that he used to have a scarf, but adds that he now considers that ridiculous.
- The Doctor mentions Amy, making reference to her legs. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut)
- After gaining a new regeneration cycle and regaining his youth in TV: The Time of the Doctor, the Eleventh Doctor took the time to phone Clara in the future before he regenerates; reassuring her about his new incarnation still being him and that he needs her help as he gets used to his new body, he also complains once he finds out from Clara that not only is his new incarnation older but that he also has grey hair.
- While performing a physical examination of Clara, Strax makes an observation on her thorax as did Linx with Sarah Jane Smith (TV: The Time Warrior) as well as Commander Skorr to Martha Jones. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem)
- The Doctor wonders who gave Clara the phone number of the TARDIS. (TV: The Bells of Saint John)
- The Doctor is sure he has already seen his new face before. (TV: The Fires of Pompeii)
- The Paternoster Gang are located in the Victorian era. (TV: The Snowmen, The Crimson Horror)
