* The story retains a line of dialogue originally written for the TV version but cut from broadcast that hints that Luke may be [[gay]]; the implication of this line was confirmed by [[Russell T Davies]] in a 2013 interview in which he revealed [[CBBC]] had asked for a gay character to be included in the series, and Davies decided to establish Luke as such. However, due to [[Elisabeth Sladen]]'s unexpected death, the storyline (and the series) wasn't expanded.
