* This marks the first time a ''Doctor Who'' television episode has had the minor expletive "hell" in the title. The word previously appeared in the titles of the comic stories ''[[A Cold Day in Hell! (comic story)|A Cold Day in Hell!]]'' and ''[[The Road to Hell (comic story)|The Road to Hell]]'' as well as the audio story ''[[Minuet in Hell (audio story)|Minuet in Hell]]''. | * This marks the first time a ''Doctor Who'' television episode has had the minor expletive "hell" in the title.

* This episode marks the first televised appearance of an interior shot of a TARDIS other than [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the Doctor's]] since ''[[Time and the Rani]]'', the latter being [[the Rani]]'s. It is only the second [[TARDIS control console]] seen other than the Doctor's since ''Time and the Rani,'' after the [[Junk TARDIS]] in ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]].'' | * This episode marks the first televised appearance of an interior shot of a TARDIS other than [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the Doctor's]] since ''[[Time and the Rani]]'', the latter being [[the Rani]]'s.

* The prophecy of [[the Hybrid]] says that it would "break millions of hearts to mend its own". This could actually be a reference to the audience. It '''would''' break the viewers hearts, not only seeing the Doctor suffer this much, but also almost breaking his vow to be "the Doctor". | |||
* The tune played by the Doctor when he was sitting in the diner is a simplified version of [[Clara Oswald]]'s theme from the Series 7-9 soundtracks. It is a rare example of a piece of incidental music composed for ''Doctor Who'' becoming part of its [[Doctor Who Universe|in-universe]] narrative. The Doctor says he believes the song is called "[[Clara (song)|Clara]]". "Clara?" is the name of the track on the Series 7 soundtrack, though it has also been performed at the Proms and other events as "The Impossible Girl" and was titled "Clara and the TARDIS" on the soundtrack for ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'', which featured the first appearance of the melody. In the context of the story, it is implied that the melody represents the now-forgotten words Clara says to the Doctor in the Cloisters; this is supported by the fact the same piece of music plays (in a full orchestral version) when the episode cuts away from the couple as Clara begins to speak. | * The tune played by the Doctor when he was sitting in the diner is a simplified version of [[Clara Oswald]]'s theme from the Series 7-9 soundtracks.

* The ''Radio Times'' programme listing was accompanied by a small colour head-and-shoulders shot of the General, with the accompanying caption "Doctor Who / 8.00 p.m. The General (Ken Bones) prepares for battle in the series finale". | * The ''Radio Times'' programme listing was accompanied by a small colour head-and-shoulders shot of the General, with the accompanying caption "Doctor Who / 8.00 p.m. The General (Ken Bones) prepares for battle in the series finale". | ||
