Behind the scenes
Roy Tromelly was a pseudonym used to conceal the identity of actor Terry Molloy in Remembrance of the Daleks, so as not to spoil early that the Emperor Dalek was in fact Davros. It is an anagram of Molloy's name.

Torchwood, an anagram of Doctor Who, was used at the beginning of the 2005 reboot to prevent interception of the first few episodes. The name was used as an in-joke in some series 1 scripts, and the Torchwood Institute was later a major plotpoint in the arc of the second series. Russell T Davies liked the name and eventually used it as the title of the first spinoff from the new series, Torchwood.
