Story Notes

Many old enemies have been confimed to appear in the epiosode, whether there to play an enemy part is still to be confirmed. The list of enemies include the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Sontarans, the Judoon, the Hoix, the Weevils, the Uvodni, the Sycorax, the Silurians, the Autons, the Roboform and the Blowfish. ^[4]
The episode was incorrectly entitled Enemies of a Time Lord and Cyber War.
The title is most likely a reference to the unidentified explosion on 26/06/2010 (DW: Flesh and Stone)
It is unknown whether the date this episode airs on was intended to be the 26th June, but it is most likely the case that it was intentional.

Dalek television stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Space Museum are not counted due to the Daleks' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories, while stories such as The Wheel in Space and The Waters of Mars are absent due to the Daleks' only contribution being references to past Dalek stories. Stories like The Wedding of River Song, Hell Bent, Once, Upon Time and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Daleks' appearance being restricted to a single scene of no consequence to the plot of the story, while the TV movie is also absent due to the Daleks only being heard from off-screen.
