 * This is the first ever time that a Raxacoricofallapatorian child is seen.
 * The Slitheen in this episode are basically doing the same plan as they did in World War Three, by blowing up the planet for fuel.

Discontinuity

 * No explanation is given for the absence of Kelsey Harper.
 * How does Mr Smith know of Abaddon, The Beast or the Macra?
 * It is possible that he knew of Abaddon because of the events of End of Days, The Beast because it had spread its influence all over time and space, but Sarah Jane never met the Macra, and the Macra lived in the future from the 21st century.
