Story notes

 * This is the first story to feature Rose in the capacity of the Doctor's companion since Doomsday.
 * Lucius Petrus Dextrus from The Fires of Pompeii says that "she is returning" when seeing the future. This is most likely a reference to Rose's return in this episode.
 * Billie Piper was seen at the end of Partners in Crime, as well as a short cameo in The Poison Sky.
 * Chipo Chung was last seen in the episode Utopia as the Malmooth, Chantho. She plays a human character in this story.
 * This is the 'Doctor-lite' episode of the series, similar to Love and Monsters and Blink.
 * A reference to something on Donna's back was last heard in The Fires of Pompeii when Lucius Petrus Dextrus saw into the future 'something on your back' is a back story arc as it has never been mentioned up to this episode.
 * In DWM it is said that Donna will recieve a free tarot card reading and find out something bad is going to happen. When she is recieving it their will also be something behind her lurking in the curtains.

Rumours

 * Enemies likely to be in this episode include Davros and Dalek Caan. Davros was seen in the trailer but in darkness. Several daleks also appeared but whether Dalek Caan was there is unknown.
 * In Planet of the Ood when Ood Sigma said "your song will end soon" The Ood sang songs craving to be reunited with each other, and the Doctor's song of craving for  Rose will end soon so he will be reunited with her once more.
 * In a trailer seen on BBC One, Donna's grandad looks up to the sky and sees the stars "going out" possibly something to do with the Void.
 * Harriet Jones will appear in either this episode or the next, with her uneasy allience with The Doctor after The Christmas Invasion, she may be working or influenced by the Daleks, alternativly it may be the Harriet Jones from the Parrellel world.
 * UNIT return in this episode and take the TARDIS. Confirmed by a picture in DWM 396.
 * We see flashbacks of donna before the events of the runaway bride.
 * Possibly takes place during the events of the Time War, "The Time War" being another likely title.

Continuity

 * In The Sontaran Strategem the Sat Nav kept saying Turn Left. The Doctor is also heard saying Turn Right not Left. This could have something to do with this episode.
 * Rose says in the mid series trailer that the darkness is coming, the Toclafane say "Its coming ... the never ending darkness". (DW: The Sound of Drums) This was most likely a reference to heat-death of the universe, a main topic of Utopia (TV story).
 * In Boom Town, the Ninth Doctor, Rose, Captain Jack and Mikey are in a restaurant discussing previous adventures and mentioning something about "turning left".

DVD and Other releases

 * This is due to be released in the Series 4 boxset in November 2008 along with the rest of the Series.
 * It will be released as Series 4 Volume 4 alongside TBA and Journey's End on September 2008.
