* On the DVD release of ''The Chase'', the production notes commentary indicates that although some feel the nameplate seen in the episode is misspelled, the spelling used is actually correct.

* One possible "game over" for the video game ''[[Don't Blink (video game)|Don't Blink]]'' has the player being sent back in time by a [[Weeping Angel]] to the year 1872 to die on the ''Mary Celeste''. | |||
