- The Doctor claims to have had seven grandmothers, including Granny Five. Granny Five told her about the Solitract, and claimed that Granny Two was a secret agent for the Zygons.
Story notes
- This is a rare example of a story where there is no real enemy. The Solitract proved to simply be lonely and missing the universe and never meant anyone any harm.
- All scenes within the Solitract plane where flipped around to depict the reversed image seen in a mirror. This not only applied to the set, but also to the actors: eagle-eyed viewers could make out such details as the Slayer logo on Erik's shirt being backwards, and the parting in the Doctor's hair being on the opposite side.
