* Two versions of this episode exist - the full-length version, and a shorter 47-minute edit. A number of scenes are excised from the shorter edit, notably the "Sol 3" introduction to the episode, Master singing and dancing along to "I Can't Decide" by the Scissor Sisters, and sections of Martha's conversations with various resistance members. This shorter edit appears on streaming services including [[Netflix]], [[Amazon Prime]] and [[Hulu Plus]], and likely originates from [[BBC Worldwide]]'s need for a standard-length edit of the episode to sell worldwide. | * Two versions of this episode exist - the full-length version, and a shorter 47-minute edit.

* ''Utopia'', ''The Sound of Drums'' and ''Last of the Time Lords'' have a combined running time of 2 hours 21 minutes. This makes it not only the longest continuous story of the revived series, but the longest since the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s ''The Trial of a Time Lord''. It beats ''The End of Time'' by just six minutes (and this is only because ''Last of the Time Lords'' is 51 minutes long, six minutes longer than a standard episode). | * ''Utopia'', ''The Sound of Drums'' and ''Last of the Time Lords'' have a combined running time of 2 hours 21 minutes.

* The sound of the Master's laugh can be heard while a finger with a red painted finger nail picks up the Master's ring. The character who picked up the ring is seen in ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''. | * The sound of the Master's laugh can be heard while a finger with a red painted finger nail picks up the Master's ring.

* Since the programme's revival, this is the only series finale so far not to feature the [[Dalek]]s (discounting the [[2009 Specials]]). By the same token, every finale up to this point since the series' revival has involved either [[Dalek]]s ''or'' [[the Master]], but never both. Even the series 6 finale featured a cameo appearance from a Dalek. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song]]''). This was true until the series 7 finale ([[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'') which didn't have Daleks or the Master but had another classic series villain [[Great Intelligence|The Great Intelligence]]. | * Since the programme's revival, this is the only series finale so far not to feature the [[Dalek]]s (discounting the [[2009 Specials]]).
