Behind the Scenes
Nicholas Courtney frequently retold an anecdote from the filming of Inferno at fan conventions.

When Courtney spun the chair around, the entire cast and crew had also put on eyepatches but he managed to continue as if nothing had happened. "Everybody was wearing an eyepatch" became closely associated with Courtney, and was among the tributes to him written into The Wedding of River Song after he passed away in 2011.
