Behind the scenes

 * Explaining how Henry van Statten was unfamiliar with the Dalek he named Metaltron, The Time Traveller's Almanac suggested that the Van Statten Incident took place in a timeline where the Cult of Skaro did not emerge from the Sphere in Torchwood London and precipitate the Battle of Canary Wharf in 2007 since the personal timelines of both the Doctor and the Dalek race had not progressed to the point where those events occurred.
