Story notes
- This is the first series opener not to feature an alien from Doctor Who. Series 1's Revenge of the Slitheen featured the Slitheen, Series 2's The Last Sontaran featured a Sontaran, Series 3's Prisoner of the Judoon featured the Judoon, and Series 4's The Nightmare Man featured a cameo appearance from a Slitheen.
- There are a few nods to the Terminator franchise. The metalkind's hunt for Sky, a child that will be used against them in a war, is reminiscent of Terminator hunting John Connor. The way Miss Myers appears is very similar to the method of time travel used in The Terminator. She also tells Clyde to go in to the van, saying "get in if you want the child to live", similar to "come with me if you want to live", a famous line used in Terminator.

Continuity
- Rani suggests that the Doctor was the one who left Sky on Sarah Jane's doorstep. Rani met the Tenth Doctor in SJA: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, and the Eleventh Doctor in SJA: Death of the Doctor.
- Miss Myers intends for her daughter to be used against the Metalkind. The idea of a child being used as a weapon from birth first appeared in DW: A Good Man Goes to War, with the Silence and Madame Kovarian kidnapping the infant Melody Pond/River Song and turning her into a weapon to kill the Doctor.
- Rani tells Sky about how Luke was created by aliens to invade the Earth. (SJA: Invasion of the Bane)
- The Shopkeeper and Parrot appear. (SJA: Lost in Time)
