+== Notes ==
 Since this episode was broadcast prior to ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'', it maintained the deliberate misdirection in ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'' that [[the Silence]] was a species.
-== People interviewed ==
+Unlike other segments, this episode contained slivers of opinion from ordinary American viewers. Some attendees of the [[San Diego Comic Con]] were canvassed for their thoughts on the programme's scariest monsters. These thoughts were sprinkled throughout the episode.
-Unusually, the only person even remotely connected to the production of ''Doctor Who'' was [[Mark Sheppard]], [[BBCA]]'s [[continuity announcement|continuity announcer]] for ''Doctor Who''. The "hook" of this documentary, like the others in this series, was that the interviewees were all ''Doctor Who'' fans who were professional entertainers with some success in the American market.
