* According to ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', production of this mini-episode officially concluded production of Series 4 on May 3, 2008. Davies told DWM that he had to write the episode in a special way as it is scheduled to be broadcast both on television and on radio. This makes this special the first such hybrid episode ever produced for the series. | * According to ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', production of this mini-episode officially concluded production of Series 4 on May 3, 2008.

* For the first time since 1966 the original closing theme arrangement by [[Delia Derbyshire]], as introduced in 1963's ''[[An Unearthly Child]]'', is used in lieu of Murray Gold's work. The specific reason for including this version of the theme was not readily apparent to those who watched the mini-episode in isolation from the Proms event. As explained to the audience in the [[Royal Albert Hall]] by Proms host [[Freema Agyeman]], it was employed as a way to feature a piece of music which celebrated the 50th anniversary of the [[BBC Radiophonic Workshop]]. Some have erroneously identified the version played as the arrangement featured up until the late 1970s, but the lack of echo identifies it as the original version; this is the first time the original rendition has been used on a ''Doctor Who'' episode since 1967. | * For the first time since 1966 the original closing theme arrangement by [[Delia Derbyshire]], as introduced in 1963's ''[[An Unearthly Child]]'', is used in lieu of Murray Gold's work.

* This is an unusual example of the [[BBC Wales]] version of ''Doctor Who'' crediting only one actor above the titles. It had only previously happened with ''[[Attack of the Graske]]''. Both times this occurred the lone actor credited was the same: [[David Tennant]]. | * This is an unusual example of the [[BBC Wales]] version of ''Doctor Who'' crediting only one actor above the titles.
