- The two red levers on the console reset the TARDIS and extend the air shell.
- The drawing room is half a mile down the corridor, left, then right, then right again, then the third right, past a weird swirly thing, left, then the other left, through the sun room, past a green door, right, along a wall until it becomes slimey, down a lift to the third floor and straight ahead.
- The Entity says "I must feed". This is very similar to something the Ood said in The Impossible Planet.

Story notes
- In a video posted on the BBC Doctor Who website, Karen Gillan promoted the game and announced the alien was called the Entity.
- It has been corfirmed that the cliffhanger, at the end of TARDIS, will lead on to the fourth Adventure Game, called Shadows of Vashta Nerada
- The day before TARDIS was released to download, a story was posted on the Doctor Who website called Wish You Were Here, acting as a prelude to TARDIS.
- This is the first story to actually teach the viewer/player how to fly the TARDIS and what everything on the console actually does.

Production errors
- There are some scenes in which the console and drawing room doesn't add up, i.e. the drawing room has doors where as in the console room has no doors but rather enterances-This has been discovered that the drawing room has a door because it is no where near the console room.
