Story Notes

 * A 90-second clip from this episode was aired during Matt Smith's appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on 26 March 2010.
 * The Vampires are not real vampires, but are of alien origin. They are fish-like alien creatures using Perception Filters to hide themselves to other people.
 * There was some initial confusion over the title of this story, with some media sources (as well as Matt Smith in a TV interview ) using the title Vampires in Venice.
 * In the Series 5 preview, one of the vampires leap for Rory, without any change. In the actual episode, he changes to his alien form. Differences like this have happened many times from trailer to episode.
 * The species name is not revieled although the monsterfiles here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptylWi_u3sg name them as Saturnynians
