* As Tennant does not appear as the Doctor in this skit, it is the first ''Doctor Who'' story since ''[[Mission to the Unknown]]'' in which the character does not appear. It is also the first and only time a televised story has featured the TARDIS, but no Doctor. Given the acknowledged non-canon nature of this skit, ''Mission to the Unknown'' remains as the only [[DW]] story to not feature the Doctor (when viewed as a stand-alone story independent of ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]''.)

* At the time this was written, Davies believed it would be the final ''Doctor Who'' story he would ever write (as he relates in [[DWM 410]] and ''[[Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale]] - The Final Chapter''); ultimately, this ended up not being the case as it was announced in April 2010 that he would be writing an episode of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' featuring an appearance by the [[Eleventh Doctor]]; that episode was [[SJA]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor]]''.
