*This episode deliberately evoked the feel of the [[w:c:indianajones:Indiana Jones (franchise)|''Indiana Jones'' franchise]]. River's scene at [[The Maldovarium]] is a gag drawn directly from the teaser sequence of ''[[w:c:indianajones:Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom|Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom]]''. The use of flambeaux in the cavernous "[[under Henge]]" was directly inspired by the teaser to ''[[w:c:indianajones:Raiders of the Lost Ark|Raiders of the Lost Ark]]''. Finally [[director]] [[Toby Haynes]] [[Playback (terminology)|played back]] a cue from ''Raiders'' while filming the sequence of the Doctor, River and Amy entering the "under Henge" in order to give the sequence appropriate tempo. ([[CON]]: "[[Alien Abduction]]")
