Behind the scenes

 * In the original script for The Stolen Earth, the Shadow Proclamation was supposed to consist of many different species of aliens, including law-abiding Raxacoricofallapatorians, a 2.4m tall Adipose, Vespiforms, Krillitanes, Gelth, Graske, Hath and Sycorax, but the scene was cut due to budget. Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen, having reverted to a younger age after the events of Boom Town, was also meant to make an appearance. Her line has been recorded and archived for future use.
