Story notes
This episode was the last of Series 4 to have its title revealed. Also the clip shows that the Daleks can dissolve substances that block their vision. They were able to dissolve the paint that Wilf used by his Paint ball gun that was covering their eye.
 * This is the third time that the Daleks have returned with a leader in a finale. In the 2005 finale, The Parting of the Ways, the Daleks were led by the Dalek Emperor and in 2006 finale, Doomsday, Dalek Sec led the Cult of Skaro. The Other Dalek two parter in 2007 Series was shown as the 4th & 5th Episodes of the Series (Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks). The Daleks were the Cult of Skaro.
 * Davros refers to Donna Noble, Martha Jones, Rose Tyler, and possibly the minor companions as The Children Of Time.
 * Sarah Jane Smith has already had past experience in dealing and/or fighting against Davros with The Doctor, albeit in his fourth incarnation. However Sarah Jane could be the one with the knowledge about how to destroy Davros and the circumstances on which he came to Earth. She may prove vital in the battle to come.
 * In the preview shown, Upon hearing the Dalek Message, Jack and Sarah Jane both become very emotional, with Jack declaring that he can't do anything, and that they will die, (except Jack since he can't die).
 * The One Show presented a clip featuring Wilfred Mott and Sylvia Noble being confronted by a Dalek on Earth. Wilfred is shown holding a paintball gun as the Dalek shouts,"Exterminate". Bernard Cribbins, after the clip stated that he was glad it ended where it did. This could mean that either Wilf or Sylvia gets killed.
 * The official BBC website has a script extract which in which the Doctor says he can't get any readings, from the 'fearsome technology' so he and Donna go to the Shadow Proclamation for help.
 * The BBC website also identifies the red dalek as 'Supreme Dalek' and has a picture of a badly damaged dalek in surroundings similar to those seen in the episode 'Dalek'.
 * The Doctor starts to regenerate yet again, making a Cliffhanger.
 * The Doctor first went to the Medusa Cascade when he was a child at the age of 90.
 * Davros and his command ship was lost in the first years of the Time War but Dalek Caan managed to save him
