* Before filming for this special began in September 2013, [[Matt Smith]] agreed to play a role in the American film, ''How to Catch a Monster''. His character was depicted as having a thug-like buzz cut, which meant Smith had to have his signature coif completely shorn off. By the time the filming was underway for the special, Matt's hair had not grown back enough to fill out the Eleventh Doctor's hairstyle.
