Behind the scenes

• During the Army of Ghosts scene, the musical soundtrack subtly references the Ghostbusters theme.
• In part two of Death of the Doctor, the sound effect used during the activation of the memory weave is the same sound effect used in the Ghostbusters movies, cartoons, and video games for powering up a Proton Pack.
• Ernie Hudson was one of the stars of the film.
