* This is actually not the first time a canonical ''Doctor Who'' franchise story has dealt with the subject of converting sentient beings into drugs.

* Originally, the final shot of the episode was to have been of a computer screen reading "TORCHWOOD STATUS: TERMINATED," referring to the cessation of all Torchwood operations in the UK by the end of the miniseries. This was taken out at a late stage, as Davies did not wish to give the impression that the series had been cancelled, even though he knew that ''Children of Earth'' might very possibly be the last-ever instalment of ''Torchwood''. As it turned out, ''Children of Earth'' would indeed prove to be the finale of the show's original incarnation, but the series continued as a British-American co-production starting in 2011.
