Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The green and black lines which appear on the "London Underground map" [+]Part of The Doctor: His Lives and Times, Loading...{"page":"40","namedpart":"London Underground map","1":"The Doctor: His Lives and Times"} have yet to be named within the DWU. In the real world they are of course the District and Northern lines respectively.
- Like Charing Cross, Monument has the honour of being one of the few tube stations to be used as a setting for a cliffhanger. Episode 2 of The Web of Fear ends with Jamie and Evans trapped on the Monument platform.
