Notes
- This is the first freshly filmed Children in Need special since The Great Detective.
- It is the second appearance of Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor on screen in 2016, the other being the Class television story For Tonight We Might Die.
- The appearance of the Doctor in the sketch was not publicised.
- Pudsey was originally the Twelfth Doctor's companion in Doctor Who Game Maker, this ties in with the Twelfth Doctor knowing who he was and being contacted in the special.
- The Twelfth Doctor appears on the TARDIS phone.
- The Doctor mentioned Pudsey - a green fellow with five tentacles that's always screaming, Pudsey a semi-invisible, beard and squirts ink out of his belly button and Pudsey a Gelatinous with a large hat and loves custard. As well as a yellow, fury, spotty eye patch wearing Pudsey that destroyed three galaxies with his mega sonic death ray.
