Behind the scenes

 * The space suit costumes worn by Jamie and Zoe in TV: The Wheel in Space was later re-used in the original trilogy (most noticeably by Bossk the Bounty Hunter.
 * The Doctor's recognition of Peter Cushing in PROSE: Mission: Impractical was an in-joke referencing the fact that Cushing had played the film version of Dr. Who in the 1960s.
 * Steven Moffat has been nicknamed "the Moff" and "the Grand Moff" by fans as well as by Russell T Davies after he took over as executive producer for Doctor Who in 2010. "Moff"/"Grand Moff" is a high military rank in the Star Wars universe.
 * Russell T Davies received an offer from George Lucas to write a story for his television spinoff series Star Wars: The Clone Wars but Davies turned it down for lack of time as well as a lack of desire to write for a sci-fi franchise he didn't build. The occasion was discussed by Davies in Chapter 4 of Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale, the chapter subtitle of which begins "In which George Lucas is snubbed..."
 * A Dalek made a cameo appearance in a (non-canon) Star Wars comic strip, Fett Club. Skaro, Delta Magna and Cygnus are also mentioned in the fan-produced unofficial Star Wars reference guide Book of Imperial Shuttle Plans: Cygnus Spaceworks.
