Behind the scenes
The Royal Albert Hall was opened by Queen Victoria, in honour of her late husband Prince Albert. Both figures play an important role in the Doctor Who universe, being ultimately responsible for the Torchwood Institute.
Doctor Who at the Proms takes place at the Royal Albert Hall, and includes performances for various Doctors, companions and returning monsters, often by actors who've played them on screen. As a result, recorded content often directly involves Albert Hall, including TV: Music of the Spheres and TV: Doctor Who Proms Film, which would be referenced in TV: Dark Water.
