Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors

 * This episode shows a calendar dated Friday 20th (June 2008, Feb 2009 or March 2009). However, a poster in a hospital in Last of the Time Lords showed it was October, and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang seems to be only hours after that. The hospital is in a state of disrepair so it could be an old calendar
 * Gwen witnesses Tommy's annual revival procedure for the first time, suggesting her adventures so far with Torchwood have taken place over less than a year, however this is not consistent with some of the dates provided for season 1 episodes which suggest she was with Torchwood during the previous defrosting. Jack may have chosen to not reveal this aspect of Torchwood to her at that time; or, it could simply have happened on her day off.

Continuity

 * Tommy remarks how silly it would be to save the world in pyjamas, a side reference to DW: The Christmas Invasion.
 * A Torchwood team from another era is seen for the first time.

DVD releases

 * This story along with the rest of Torchwood Series 2 is due to be released in a complete series boxset.
