 * 23 year old Martha Jones mum is called Francine, her father Clive, her brother Leo and her sister Tish. Her cousin who worked for the Torchwood Institute was called Adeola.
 * On 26th August 2007 Daleks from around the UK gathered in Manchester at the Museum of Science and Industry in an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.
 * The Carrionites were banished at the beginning of time by the Eternals.
 * By coincidence, the Plasmavore (Florence Finnegan) in Smith and Jones also said “Burn with me!”
 * The set for 42 was built in a single week in an old paper mill
 * The stasis chamber in 42 was also used as the MRI machine in Smith and Jones.
