After Adam won an essay competition hosted by the website Who is Doctor Who?, she told Mickey that Adam was a "star" with computers, though Adam wished he hadn't spoken to his mum.

Behind the scenes
- Actress Judy Holt previously played Sandra Mitchell in the British television show Children's Ward in the early 1990s while it was produced by Russell T Davies. Davies has elsewhere commented, "I think every show I've ever written fits into one big world."[1]
- However, many sources featuring Sandra Mitchell don't align too well with the implied shared universe of Children's Ward, giving different details about Sandra's life.
