Behind the scenes
- The End of the World, which takes place in the year 5,000,000,000, depicts Earth as once again orbiting its original sun and once again known as Earth, suggesting that at some point the planet was relocated to its original position and given back its original name. This may have been done in the wake of the events of The Ultimate Foe. Or, possibly, the events surrounding its movement were undone in the Time War. Journey's End reveals that a single TARDIS, operating at full power and in conjunction with the Cardiff rift, is capable of moving the planet.
