Notes Edit

• Bill and Nardole joke about "Return of the Jeden" and "The Last Jeden," a reference to the Star Wars films Return of the Jedi and The Last Jedi.
• Similarly to what's seen on this story, an early draft of The Stolen Earth had an infant Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen at the Shadow Proclamation. She was adopted by the Jingatheen family and named Margaret.
• The flashback of the Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler, and Jack Harkness looking across the TARDIS console at Blon/Margaret shows the trio as they were from the end shot of The Empty Child, as Jack has been drawn in his greatcoat.
• Margaret's warning to the Weeping Angels, "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...", spoken while revealing her green claw, is a reference to The Incredible Hulk.
