Story Notes

 * Colin Prockter previously appeared as the Head Chef in DW: The Long Game.
 * Discounting their flashback cameo in DW: The Waters of Mars, this is the longest gap between Dalek stories in the New Series, at almost two years since Journey's End. It is also the first standalone Dalek episode since DW: Dalek in 2005 and the Dalek appears to be an earlier model, using grey armour that was last seen in Remembrance of the Daleks.
