* As in many previous episodes of the revived series, supposed BBC News 24 footage is used featuring reports of unfolding events. However, as with the more recent appearances of such footage in Doctor Who, the channel is simply captioned on screen as 'News 24' devoid of the BBC logo.

Lindsay won the argument, claiming "I'm from the bloody planet, I think I know how to pronounce my own name!" | * Donna's mispronunciation of Sontaran stems from the original production of ''[[The Time Warrior (TV story)|The Time Warrior]]''.

''In fact, the scene was filmed especially for ''[[Midnight (TV story)|Midnight]]'', and inserted into this episode at the last minute.'' | * [[Billie Piper]]'s brief cameo was taken from an earlier episode, most likely ''[[The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)|The Idiot's Lantern]]'' in which she was also shown shouting silently from a TV screen.

* The Tenth Doctor's "Are you my mummy?" line was improvised by David Tennant because he forgot this line. ''There is no known behind-the-scenes source to back up this erroneous claim, and appears to originate with a Tumblr post that went mildly viral in the early 2010s.'' | * The Tenth Doctor's "Are you my mummy?" line was improvised by [[David Tennant]] because he forgot this line.
