Trivia

  • The title of this episode probably refers to Martha Jones (the Tenth Doctor's new companion) and the Doctor, who occasionally uses the alias of "John Smith." It may also be a reference to the comedy duo of the same name or the Western television programme Alias Smith and Jones. In the Eighth Doctor Adventures novel The Eight Doctors, the Eighth Doctor's new assistant Samantha Jones pointed out the same coincidence with their names.
  • The South Wales Evening Post reported that in one episode, widely speculated as the first, an alien disguised as a motorcycle courier will transport a London hospital to the moon, leaving only a crater in its place; Swansea's Singleton Hospital was used to represent the hospital in filming. Speaking at the MOBO Awards, Freema Agyeman confirmed "aliens on the moon", and BBC One Controller Peter Fincham confirmed that Martha meets the Doctor when Royal Hope Hospital, where she works, is transported to the moon.
  • In the book Doctor Who: The Inside Story, a piece of concept art by Peter McKinstry shows a "burnt out" sonic screwdriver, with a caption suggesting that the Doctor's trusty tool may be damaged or destroyed in this episode.

Russell T Davies has indicated that the likeness between Martha and Adeola, a character who appeared and was killed in the Series 2 episode Army of Ghosts and was also played by Freema Agyeman, will be touched on subtly in this episode.
