The quote "Captain, my Captain," references the poem "O Captain, My Captain" by 19th century poet Walt Whitman.
The poem to unlock the Hub in They Keep Killing Suzie is from "I Could Not Stop for Death", also by a 19th century poet, Emily Dickinson.
The actress Yasmin Bannerman who played Detective Swanson also played Jabe in Doctor Who.
The comic strip Rift War! was to have featured a red double decker but because of Planet of the Dead it was changed to a green dustcart.

This issue's contents differed significantly from those advertised the previous issue because the anticipated screening date of Children of Earth was moved back. Those features which offered potential spoilers were held over to the next issue.
To reflect the expanded content of "comic strip related material" in this issue, and because of the release of the collected strips in the Rift War! graphic novel, an alternative limited edition cover by comic artist Michael Golden was available from Forbidden Planet and other specialist comic shops.
Torchwood: The Official Magazine from Titan Magazines continued to be bi-monthly title with now only six issues a year. Each issue featured 100 pages and cost £4.99 (UK), offering a 15% saving to subscribers.
Aimed at mature fans of the series, the magazines did not shy away from discussions involving sex and violence, topics integral to the success of this "adult" spin-off series from the BBC's more family friendly Doctor Who.
