Story Notes

 * A CBBC literature statement confirmed both the Slitheen and Blathereen would appear in the series.
 * In an interview with Nikki Wilson for SFX she confirmed the Blathereen as appearing in these episode. A series preview by Digital Spy also confirmed the Blathereen as appearing in the Finale
 * The Blathereen and Slitheen both appeared in the book NSA: The Monsters Inside. The Gift is the first appearance of the Blathereen in a TV story.
 * The Slitheen leader referred to the Blathereen in SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen.
 * This episode marks the return of the Slitheen in the Sarah Jane Adventures. They previously appeared in SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen, The Lost Boy, From Raxacoricofallapatorius With Love

Myths

 * The Judoon will appear. This is a rumour, because in the previous two series the alien from the first episode appeared the the finale.This is not strictly true because it has been the Villian from the opening story so the Slitheen in Revenge of the Slitheen in Series One and Kaagh the Sontaran in The Last Sontaran in Series 2. If the pattern of the previous two series were repeated for Series 3 (Which is unlikely because of the appearence of the Slitheen and Blathereen ) then Androvax from Prisoner of the Judoon would have returned but the Judoon could still make an appearence since the Slitheen have previously mentioned the Judoon before. On the 30.10.09 a CBBC spokesperson for the show said that the juJudoon were spotted by fans with a gun at a slitheen/blathereen in human form, this scene would not have fitted in Prisoner of the Judoon as it took place outside the Pharos Institute.

Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors

 * If the Blathereen are orange then why didn't the Ninth Doctor or Rose Tyler reference this in NSA: The Monsters Inside? It was not important at the time
 * If the Blathereen are orange, then why were they confused with green Slitheen in NSA: The Monsters Inside?

Continuity

 * The Blathereen first appeared in NSA: The Monsters Inside.


 * The Slitheen first appeared in DW: Aliens of London / World War Three, and SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen SJA: The Lost Boy and SJA: From Raxacoricofallapatorius With Love.
