* The opening scenes further mimic the original open to [[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'': the first shot shows a police officer going by a sign for [[76 Totter's Lane]], and the second shot is set at Coal Hill School as class dismisses. Clara is now a teacher at [[Coal Hill School]]. A sign shows that [[Ian Chesterton|I. Chesterton]] is chairman of the school's Board of Governors, also showing that a W. Coburn is headmaster — a likely in-joke reference to [[Anthony Coburn]], who wrote ''An Unearthly Child'', and [[Waris Hussein]], ''<nowiki>Doctor Who'</nowiki>''s original director. | * The opening scenes further mimic the original open to [[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'': the first shot shows a police officer going by a sign for [[76 Totter's Lane]], and the second shot is set at Coal Hill School as class dismisses.
