* Gareth Roberts, the writer of this episode, revealed in an interview in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 423|Issue 423]] that he had planned to use the classic enemy [[Meglos]] in this story, but decided against it after the similar-looking aliens the [[Vinvocci]] made an appearance in [[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''. The magazine also showed an early draft of the script which showed the meeting of the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and Meglos in which Meglos remembered the Doctor but the Doctor didn't remember Meglos. | * Gareth Roberts, the writer of this episode, revealed in an interview in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 423|Issue 423]] that he had planned to use the classic enemy [[Meglos]] in this story, but decided against it after the similar-looking aliens the [[Vinvocci]] made an appearance in [[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''.

* In interviews given in April 2011, writer Neil Gaiman revealed that his ''Doctor Who'' script (''The Doctor's Wife'') was originally intended to be the 11th episode of this series.

* The Doctor's bow tie is blue for this episode, despite the 2010 setting. The Doctor wears a red tie in episodes of Series 5 grounded in the present and future ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'', ''[[The Beast Below]]'', ''[[The Time of Angels]]''/''[[Flesh and Stone]]'', ''[[The Hungry Earth]]''/''[[Cold Blood]]'', ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]''/''[[The Big Bang]]''), but he wears a blue tie in those set in the past (''[[Victory of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Vampires of Venice]]'', ''[[Vincent and the Doctor]]''). The only other exception in Series 5 is the episode ''[[Amy's Choice]]'', where the Doctor wears a blue tie in the Upper [[Leadworth]] dream but a red tie in both the cold TARDIS dream and the epilogue concluding the two dream narratives. | * The Doctor's bow tie is blue for this episode, despite the 2010 setting.

This may be due to the fact that the Doctor had originally planned to go to the Fifth Moon of Sinda Callista. | ||
