* The Doctor regrows his severed hand, establishing a notable new twist to the mechanics of [[regeneration]] and, in part, suggesting a rationale for [[Romana II]]'s ability to change her appearance several times during regeneration ([[DW]]: ''[[Destiny of the Daleks]]''). The Doctor's severed hand, last seen falling to earth in this episode, is later revealed to have been retrieved by [[Jack Harkness]] (''[[Torchwood]]''); the Doctor would get it back much later ([[DW]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]'').

This scene was intended to set up the final scene of the episode in which the new Doctor finally utters the word "Fantastic!"
