Story Notes

 * Many old enemies have been confirmed to appear in the episode, whether there to play an enemy part is still to be confirmed. The list of enemies include the Daleks, the Cybus Cybermen, the Sontarans, the Judoon, the Hoix, the Weevils, the Uvodni, the Sycorax, the Silurians, the Autons, the Roboform and the Blowfish.
 * The episode was incorrectly entitled Enemies of a Time Lord and Cyber War.
 * The title is most likely a reference to the unidentified explosion on 26/06/2010 (DW: Flesh and Stone)
 * It is unknown whether the date this episode airs on was intended to be the 26th June, but it is most likely the case that it was intentional.
