Story notes

 * According to Doctor Who Magazine, production of this mini-episode officially concluded production of Series 4 on May 4, 2008. Davies told DWM that he had to write the episode in a special way as it is scheduled to be broadcast both on television and on radio. This makes this special the first such hybrid episode ever produced for the series.
 * This special aired on Sunday 27th July between 11A.M. and 1P.M. on BBC Radio 3. It will be shown on BBC4 in a couple of weeks. It was also be available on the Doctor Who website at 11.40 A.M, however due to rights, the clip was only be made available for a short period of time.
 * For the first time since 1966 the original theme arrangement by Delia Derbyshire and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, as introduced in 1963's An Unearthly Child, is used in lieu of Murray Gold's current arrangement during the closing credits.

Filming Locations

Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors

 * If these events take place after Journey's End then how would the Doctor have his blue suit if he gave it to the Clone Doctor? (He has more than one set)
 * As the Doctor addresses the audience directly, and the episode involves interaction with the audience, it is unlikely that this episode will be considered canonical.

Continuity

 * The Doctor breaks the fourth wall and directly addresses the audience, and also interacts with them as well. This renders it unlikely that the episode takes place within established continuity.
 * The Doctor says "and he stole my water pistol". A reference to DW: The Fires of Pompeii where the Doctor threatens the High Priestess with a water pistol.
 * Graskes previously appeared in the interactive episode Attack of the Graske and one also appeared during SJA: Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?.
 * The Doctor says (upon looking at the screen) "What, What, What?" in quick succession, he has previous intoned these lines at the beginning of DW: The Runaway Bride, Last of the Time Lords and Time Crash.
 * The Doctor says the TARDIS defences were down, as they were in DW: Time Crash.
 * The Doctor also utters the Third Doctor's catchphrase "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

DVD and Other releases

 * Available via BBC's iPlayer following broadcast.
