 * The Snowmen also had two different prequels. The first, The Great Detective, was given a television broadcast as part of the 2012 Children in Need event. The second prequel was released online the following month.
 * The prequel to The Bells of Saint John.
 * Another prequel was released in the build-up to this episode, though it detailed the events which took place just after A Good Man Goes to War and did not directly relate to events or characters from The Bells of Saint John, acting more as another prequel to The Snowmen.
