Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors
- A corridor explodes with Sontarans inside it. This is the same corridor that exploded in the Torchwood episode Sleeper. The corridor in Sleeper was in Cardiff but the one in this episode is in London. A similar mistake occured in Partners in Crime. (Perhaps these hospitals are built to the same design.)
DVD and other releases
- It will be released on the Series 4 boxset DVD in November 2008.
