*Carmen mentioned in "It is returning, ''he'' will knock four times" could be [[Davros]], or [[The Master]]. ''The "knock four times" could refer to the Master, as the drumming motif that he continuously hears in his head, and that he used in [[The Sound of Drums]]/[[Last of the Time Lords]] to hypnotize the Earth's population, was a four-beat rhythm. Alternately, the "darkness" was used throughout [[Series 4 (Doctor Who)|the fourth series]] to refer to the return of Davros. His "song" may also be a reference to River Song, a future companion who appeared and died in [[Forest of the Dead]]; it may also be connected to the prediction of the [[Ood]] in [[DW]]: ''[[Planet of the Ood]]''. The four knocks is also somewhat reminiscent of the [[Midnight Entity]], a side note on that, the music from the episode Midnight was in the background as the Doctor was warned.'' Also when Carmen mentioned the "darkness" Davros's theme from the Season 4 finale. | *Carmen mentioned in "It is returning, ''he'' will knock four times" could be [[Davros]], or [[The Master]].

*Do the International Gallery guards really not look at the item they're guarding? Its implied they aren't very good at their jobs, for comedic purposes.

* When the bus is originally shown, it has a number plate of W974GHM, but later, when flying, its number plate has changed to RUA467W. ''This could be, if the rumor is to be believed, that the Doctor Who team had a bus stolen while they were filming in Dubai and had to replace it'' This is most likely because, as seen in the confidential, the team used two separate buses (one for shots in Dubai, one for shots in the UK). ''However, in-Universe, this point stands, and is still a continuity error.'' | * When the bus is originally shown, it has a number plate of W974GHM, but later, when flying, its number plate has changed to RUA467W.

*Why did the Tritivores have ear pieces? They clearly don't have ears. ''The "ear pieces" were referred to as a means to communicate, not that they were meant to fit over the ears.

*The bus is seen to take on damage as it travels through the worm hole, but on its way back to Earth, no more damage to the bus is sustained. '' The bus took damage because the wormhole was too small when it first traveled though, but by the time of the second trip the wormhole was much larger.'' | *The bus is seen to take on damage as it travels through the worm hole, but on its way back to Earth, no more damage to the bus is sustained.
