* The story is fronted by the version of the [[title sequence]] used on the original episode "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]", modified to include a BBC logo, and slightly shortened. (This version is slightly different than the opening used on the unaired [[The Pilot Episode|pilot episode]].)

(This version is slightly different than the opening used on the unaired [[The Pilot Episode|pilot episode]].) As such, this is the only episode to use a previously retired title sequence, rather than use the current one or introduce a new one.
* The opening scenes further mimic the original open to [[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'': the first shot shows a police officer going by a sign for [[76 Totter's Lane]], and the second shot is set at Coal Hill School as class dismisses. Clara is now a teacher at [[Coal Hill School]]. A sign shows that [[Ian Chesterton|I. Chesterton]] is chairman of the school's Board of Governors, also showing that a W. Coburn is headmaster — a likely in-joke reference to [[Anthony Coburn]], who wrote ''An Unearthly Child'', and [[Waris Hussein]], ''<nowiki>Doctor Who'</nowiki>''s original director.
