Story notes

 * The conclusion of this story is similar to the conclusion of the Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories Jubilee, where a lone Dalek notices the error of its comrades and stops an invasion.
 * While this is the Twelfth Doctor's first proper encounter with the Daleks, he previously had appeared briefly in both the consecutive special episodes The Day of the Doctor and The Time of the Doctor, which also featured the Daleks.
