Story notes
- This is the first story to feature Rose in the capacity of the Doctor's companion since Doomsday.
- Lucius Petrus Dextrus from The Fires of Pompeii says that "she is returning" when seeing the future. This is most likely a reference to Rose's return in this episode.
- Billie Piper was seen at the end of Partners in Crime, as well as a short cameo in The Poison Sky.
- Chipo Chung was last seen in the episode Utopia as the Malmooth, Chantho. She plays a human character in this story.
- This is the 'Doctor-lite' episode of the series, similar to Love and Monsters and Blink.
- A reference to something on Donna's back was last heard in The Fires of Pompeii when Lucius Petrus Dextrus saw into the future 'something on your back' is a back story arc as it has never been mentioned up to this episode.
- In DWM it is said that Donna will recieve a free tarot card reading and find out something bad is going to happen. When she is recieving it their will also be something behind her lurking in the curtains. (Believed to be a racnoss spider!)

Continuity
- In The Sontaran Strategem the Sat Nav kept saying Turn Left. The Doctor is also heard saying Turn Right not Left. This could have something to do with this episode.
- Rose says in the mid series trailer that the darkness is coming, the Toclafane say "Its coming ... the never ending darkness". (DW: The Sound of Drums) This was most likely a reference to heat-death of the universe, a main topic of Utopia (TV story).
- In Boom Town, the Ninth Doctor, Rose, Captain Jack and Mikey are in a restaurant discussing previous adventures and mentioning something about "turning left".
