Hidden Away / Facts
- The Cyber Sentry left to guard the Pandorica had his head hacked off by a Celt.
- Cybermen are 182cm tall.
- The actors inside the monster costumes for the Cybermen and Judoon can only see straight ahead. Rehearsing movement often involves wearing masks with little pinholes across the eyes so the actors can get used to limited vision.
- The Doctor's Visual Recognition System was a present from a "dull godmother with two heads and bad breath". When the gadget's mirror is pointed at something or someone it gives you background information — its name, where it's from and how it lives.
- The face of the First Doctor appeared in the episode Vincent and the Doctor when the Doctor used the Visual Recognition System on himself.
