* The final scene of the production features an alternate take of the first Undergallery scene with dialogue not heard in the broadcast version of the special; in the version featured here, the Eleventh Doctor, after examining the statue dust, proceeds to taste it. Clara asks if he can tell anything from tasting it, and the Doctor replies he's just feeling peckish. | * The final scene of the production features an alternate take of the first Undergallery scene with dialogue not heard in the broadcast version of the special; in the version featured here, the Eleventh Doctor, after examining the statue dust, proceeds to taste it.

* At the end of the film, Davison, Baker, and McCoy do in fact play small parts in ''The Day of the Doctor'', albeit as the hidden [[Zygon]]s underneath the [[National Gallery]]. This leaves the possible implication that they may have actually appeared in the episode. As of February 2014, however, it has not been confirmed if this is actually the case. In the wake of the special's broadcast, Colin Baker was quoted in the media about the lack of involvement by the classic Doctors in the production, and made no reference to appearing "under cover," as it were. | * At the end of the film, Davison, Baker, and McCoy do in fact play small parts in ''The Day of the Doctor'', albeit as the hidden [[Zygon]]s underneath the [[National Gallery]].

* Given that this production was made with BBC sanction (and even includes the same opening credits and theme music as the anniversary minisodes), the sequence with McKellen and Jackson, which was shot on the set of ''The Hobbit'' in New Zealand, marks the first time any "official" production related to ''Doctor Who'' has taken place in that part of the world. Coincidentally, in 2013, Jackson mentioned in numerous media interviews his hope of someday directing a ''Doctor Who'' episode in his country. | * Given that this production was made with BBC sanction (and even includes the same opening credits and theme music as the anniversary minisodes), the sequence with McKellen and Jackson, which was shot on the set of ''The Hobbit'' in New Zealand, marks the first time any "official" production related to ''Doctor Who'' has taken place in that part of the world.

McCoy stated in later interviews that Jackson's agreeing to take part in the spoof (alongside recent series guest star Ian McKellen) was a surprise. Around the time ''Day of the Doctor'' aired, Jackson and McKellen also recorded several interview videos in which they paid tribute to ''Doctor Who''; these were distributed by BBC America. | ||
