 * The teaser sequence includes clips from famous speeches including those of [[John F. Kennedy]], [[Charles de Gaulle]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Philip,_Duke_of_Edinburgh the Duke of Edinburgh], and [[Martin Luther King]]. It had been originally been hoped to use a clip from a speech by [[Queen Elizabeth II]] when opening the Commonwealth Telephone Cable Link on 2 December 1963, but when the production team contacted Buckingham Palace for permission to include the material, this was denied; allegedly, the Queen did not wish to be quoted on a fictional television programme. However, the Palace did give permission — albeit reluctantly — for [[Prince Philip|the Duke of Edinburgh]] to be included in the sequence.
 * This is the first televised story to show the full interior of a Dalek. An Imperial Dalek drone's inner workings are visible while attempting to materialise in the basement of Coal Hill School.
-* This marks possibly the first time that ''[[Doctor Who]]'' has referred to itself as a series within the context of the show, when Ace turns on the television as she leaves the boarding house in part 2, and the announcer says, "This is BBC Television. The time is a quarter past five, and Saturday viewing continues with an adventure in the new science fiction series, Doc", before being cut off.  Interestingly, [[Bernard Quatermass]] and the [[British Rocket Group]] are both mentioned by a worried Rachel and Allison. However, it's unclear in the context of the show whether it's a pop culture or intertextual reference.

 ** The 2014 episode, ''[[In the Forest of the Night (TV story)|In the Forest of the Night]]'' has a shot where a bus can be seen advertising [[Series 8 (Doctor Who)|Series 8]] on it. This can, however, be seen for only a second.
 * The original script called for the Doctor to destroy the Imperial Dalek that ambushes him and Ace in the school with the anti-tank rocket and to attack the Supreme Dalek with a "Finger of Omega", in a parody of western showdowns. These instances were altered after [[Sylvester McCoy]] cited the Doctor's dislike of weapons.
