*This is the first televised [[regeneration]] story in which [[the Doctor]] regenerates at the end of the story to end on a shot of a character other than the Doctor and the second since ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'' not to end on the Doctor's new incarnation.

* 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. It was decided that he would use a hairpiece identical to his coif, which also made it easier for makeup artists to apply ageing effects through older-looking hairpieces. In a humorous moment in the episode that references the wig, the Doctor, surprising Clara, removes a wig to reveal he is bald. (A cap was used to achieve the effect) | * 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''.

* During the filming of the special, Matt Smith suffered an injury to his leg and later had to visit a physical therapist to recuperate from the accident. This injury inspired a rumour that the script for the special would be altered to have the Eleventh Doctor lose a leg when the Weeping Angels attacked. The rumour was proven false when no such event took place in the episode. | * During the filming of the special, Matt Smith suffered an injury to his leg and later had to visit a physical therapist to recuperate from the accident.
