The Doctor states that the Judoon brain could fit onto a teaspoon.
The Aetius describe the Judoon as "such unimaginative creatures".
The TARDIS translation circuit cannot translate Judoonese due to its simplicity.

The Person from Porlock was an unwelcome visitor to Coleridge's home in 1797 who interrupted him while he was composing his poem Kubla Khan, which came to him in a dream.
