Behind the scenes, this story was notable for being one of only two episodes to credit both [[Yasmin Paige|Paige]] and [[Anjli Mohindra|Mohindra]], because [[Maria Jackson|Maria]]'s voice is heard in part one. This was also a rare example of an episode that credits Paige but not [[Joseph Millson]]; [[Alan Jackson|Maria's father]], almost ubiquitous in Maria episodes, didn't appear here. | Behind the scenes, this story was notable for being one of only two episodes to credit both [[Yasmin Paige|Paige]] and [[Anjli Mohindra|Mohindra]], because [[Maria Jackson|Maria]]'s voice is heard in part one.

Also noteworthy was the guest appearance of [[Bradley Walsh]] as the episode's villain [[Elijah Spellman]], almost ten years before his casting as [[Graham O'Brien]], a [[companion]] of the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]. | |||

* Luke claims they have saved the world twelve times. It's unclear if he's approximating or being literal. Even if one were to throw in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Thirteenth Stone (audio story)|The Thirteenth Stone]]'' and ''[[The Glittering Storm (audio story)|The Glittering Storm]]'' — and even [[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'' — that only amounts to ten world-saving operations since Luke met Sarah. So either Luke is approximating, or there are a couple of missing adventures. | * Luke claims they have saved the world twelve times. It's unclear if he's approximating or being literal.

* [[Gita]] continues the tradition of misnaming of Sarah Jane that was begun by [[Chrissie Jackson]], albeit to a smaller degree by calling her simply 'Sarah' as opposed to Sarah Jane. It is shown that Sarah Jane is irritated by this, despite the Doctor having done the same repeatedly throughout their friendship (with Rani pointing this out when she meets the [[TV]]:[[Tenth Doctor]] in [[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)|''The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith'']]). | |||
