Behind the scenes

 * Producer Phil Collinson left Doctor Who in 2008 to become Head of Drama at BBC Manchester.
 * A good many behind the scenes figures — like John Simm, Piers Wenger and Beth Willis — have ties to, which is set in Manchester, and may have partially inspired the character of D.I. Menzies. Simm's character in the franchise, Sam Tyler, was inspired by Rose Tyler - a companion of the Tenth Doctor.
