Behind the scenes

  • Lachele Carl is the only actress to have made appearances in all 4 new series of Doctor Who. It is unknown if she will appear in any upcoming episodes. Trinity is also the only character to have appeared in Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Doctor Who.

Naming Problems

If this caption is to be trusted, this reporter's name is "Mal Loup".

This reporter's name is the subject of some ambiguity. Her name has only been seen in a chyron once. In one account of the Slitheen infiltration of the British government by the Slitheen in World War III, her name was seen as "Mal Loup", a vague French translation for "Bad Wolf". This in-universe citation, however, was only seen on an official, but in-universe, BBC website, not in the episode as broadcast. Likewise, the name "Trinity Wells" comes only from the credits of Turn Left and The Stolen Earth, not the episode themselves. It's possible the appearance of the Mal Loup name in this instance was a manifestation of the Bad Wolf meme. (DW: The Parting of the Ways)
