Behind the scenes

• Doctor Who: The Time Traveller's Almanac states Clom is located here. As Clom is stated in Love & Monsters to be the twin planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius, it would logically follow that this planet is located in the same galaxy. World War Three, however, has the Ninth Doctor insinuate that Raxacoricofallapatorius is one of 5,000 planets within travelling distance of Earth, implying it's in the same galaxy. This could be explained by assuming that Clom was already moved once prior to The Stolen Earth since it is possible for twin planets to be moved away from each other, as seen with Mondas in The Tenth Planet.
