Planets

  • Calderon Beta is described by the Doctor as "Boring. Planet of the Chip Shops". However it is home to a four hundred foot tall tree "growing out of a clifftop on the north side of a mountain in the middle of the sea". At 12:12am on21 September2360, you can see more stars in the sky from the top of the tree than in any other point in history. The Doctor notes that "You could read a book by it.*

TARDIS

  • The wardobe is now "first right, second left, just past the Helter Skelter." Significantly shorter (not to mention easier to remember) than the directions the Ninth Doctor gave Rose Tyler during The Unquiet Dead.
  • Multiple versions of one person can coexist within the same TARDIS. While it can be claimed that this is contradicted by The Girl Who Waited, it should be noted that none of the River Songs that appear in this episode exist as a result of a paradox and are all from the "correct" timeline.

Story notes

  • First of a two-part story, concluded in Last Night.
  • This is the shortest of the Night and the Doctor to feature the Doctor, coming in at 2 minutes and 15 seconds. The shortest overall is Up All Night, which is just under 2 minutes.
  • This is also the only Night and the Doctor short to feature scenes outside of the TARDIS.
  • The footage of the TARDIS flying through the solar storm is originally from The Rebel Flesh.
