* ''Everything Changes'' was transmitted back-to-back with ''[[Day One (TV story)|Day One]]'' on its UK premiere. The episode was repeated on its own on [[BBC Two]], three days later at 9:00pm on Wednesday [[25 October (releases)|25 October]] [[2006 (releases)|2006]].
* This is the only episode where [[Indira Varma]] has her name included in the opening credits. This was done to keep viewers from anticipating that her character would die in this episode, by making her seem like a regular cast member. She was also heavily featured in publicity materials released prior to the broadcast of the episode.
* As the first post-watershed production of the ''Doctor Who'' franchise, the episode features several firsts, including the first use of the F-word in a televised ''Doctor Who'' franchise production, along with a few other strong expletives. The frequency and intensity of swearing on ''Torchwood'' would be dialled back in its later seasons.

* A pre-credits sequence of Gwen and Jack on top of the Millennium Centre in a flash forward to the end of the story was cut from the finished programme but appears on the deleted scenes of the series one box set.
* Yvonne mentions [[21 January]] [[1941]] during [[the Blitz]] as the day Jack failed to report for duty. This would suggest that [[TV]]: ''[[The Empty Child (TV story)|The Empty Child]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Dances (TV story)|The Doctor Dances]]'' took place on the evening of [[20 January]] [[1941]].
* This first episode is seen through the eyes of the human character Gwen in much the same way ''Doctor Who'' did with the character of [[Rose Tyler]] in 2005, taking the viewer along for the journey.
* Owen shows bisexual tendencies when he first seduces a girl and then, more or less to avoid trouble, seduces her boyfriend too and goes off with both of them.
* After broadcasting, it was suggested that Owen's use of the [[perfume (Everything Changes)|pheromone spray]] in the episode was effectively "date rape".<ref>[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/a84181/cult-spy-catching-up-with-torchwood.html Cult Spy: Catching Up With 'Torchwood'] Accessed on 11th October 2008</ref>
* According to a [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] file in the 2011 episode ''[[The New World (TV story)|The New World]]'', Gwen is said to have joined Torchwood in [[October]] [[2006]].
