Behind the scenes
- Producer Phil Collinson left Doctor Who in 2008 to become Head of Drama at BBC Manchester.
- A good many behind the scenes figures — like John Simm, Piers Wenger and Beth Willis — have ties to the Life on Mars franchise, which is set in Manchester, and may have partially inspired the character of D.I. Menzies.
