* During its airing in some parts of [[England]], an animated advert for the talent show ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Rainbow_(2010_TV_series) Over the Rainbow]'' began playing over the cliffhanger. This sparked complaints to the BBC, who later apologised. The advert contained an animated Graham Norton, who later joked about it on his own show – saying he finally secured a role on ''Doctor Who''. However, his voice had already been overheard during the first episode of the revived series, ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', when an error in broadcasting began playing the audio of a trailer featuring Norton for another of his talent shows, ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strictly_Dance_Fever Strictly Dance Fever]''. In referring to his "appearance" in "Time of Angels," Norton then played a version of the cartoon banner, with a Dalek exterminating his cartoon self; coincidentally, the same show also featured an appearance by Karen Gillan and they spoke further about the error.

* One question commonly asked by fans regarding [[TV]]: ''[[Blink (TV story)|Blink]]'' was why [[Sally Sparrow]] and [[Larry Nightingale]] did not try closing one eye at a time to keep the Weeping Angels at bay. When the Angel is attacking Amy, she tries this, but remarks on how difficult it actually is.

* The episode ran short in its original cut because high tides at the beach location forced the abandonment of about three scripted pages — including the scene which had been used to audition [[Karen Gillan]] for the part of [[Amy Pond]]. In its place, [[Steven Moffat]] inserted the scene where River flies [[the TARDIS]], filmed as a [[pick-up]]. ([[DCOM]]: ''The Time of Angels'')
