Notes
- While the other contestants were actors appearing as themselves, K9 remained in-character. K9 was the first contestant to lose and have to leave the programme because the producers told the others to vote him off, just in case he broke down.
- Anne Droid was introducing the show, but halfway through her lines, her cable was pulled out by Anne Robinson who continued the presentation.
- Most of the actors introduced themselves as their character, including David who said that he came from Gallifrey and that he is 925 years old.
- Nick Briggs did the voice of a Dalek during his introduction. He also later on said, as a Cyberman, that he had accidently turned off his screen.
- Anne Robinson asked John Barrowman to sing the Doctor Who theme song, which John did.
- When Tracy-Ann was voted off, she said: "They should turn Anne Robinson into a Cyberman! Maybe she already is a Cyberman!"
- Nick jokily stated that Daleks do not play golf because "they're covered in their own balls."
- When David was voted off, he said that he thought that Anne Robinson was going to be the Eleventh Doctor and that she maybe had already signed in.
- Three of the questions on round three also appeared in the episode Bad Wolf.
