Notes
- Since the Doctor Who crew, as of 2022, with the 60th Anniversary Specials, began filming content far in advance, the fanbase would become aware of bits of information about episodes before their announcement, with this episode becoming known among fans as "Regency" as a result of a comment from Ncuti Gatwa. This eventually led to Russell T Davies himself calling it that in DWM 598.[2]
- The episode's official title was first revealed on the official Doctor Who Twitter account on 31 March 2024.[1]
- In his column for DWM 602, Davies said that Rogue had less FX than other episodes in the season, and that he and his team had recently watched and enjoyed the episode's final cut, describing it as having "one of the best monsters ever". He also revealed a line of dialogue from the episode: "Live vivisection!"[10]
- Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson considered it their favourite episode of the season.[11]
- This episode is the first with multiple credited writers since the show's return in 2005 in which neither writer is the current showrunner. It is also the first since The Haunting of Villa Diodati in which neither credited writer had previously written for the series.
