*Why is this the first episode to mention the recession, the episode is set in 2010, the recession should have been mentioned on the episodes [[DW]]: [[Voyage of the Damned]], [[Partners in Crime]] and the two parters [[The Sontaran Stratagem]] / [[The Poison Sky]] and [[The Stolen Earth]] / [[Journey's End]], which were set in 2009 (except for ''Voyage of the Damned'', which was set in 2008)?
