Also, the shade of red in the time vortex appears to be more crimson, rather than orange, with the lightning strikes causing an additional effect of electrical surges spreading out from the tips of the bolts. The vortex also turns purple with the sharpness seriously decreasing when the title appears. * The working title for this episode was ''Cubed''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sfx.co.uk/2012/07/02/doctor-who-series-7-new-episode-4-reshoot-pics/|title=Doctor Who Series 7: New Episode 4 Reshoot Pics|author=sfx|date of source=July 2 2012 |website name=SFX|accessdate=23rd September 2012}}</ref> * The character of Kate was introduced in the 1995 made-for-video independent production [[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Downtime (home video)|Downtime]]''. * Though not made clear in the episode, the scene in Henry VIII's bedroom was intended to show the TARDIS trio returning to get Rory's mobile phone charger after Rory had left it behind before [[TV]]: ''[[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)|A Town Called Mercy]]''. ([[TCH 71]]) * Chris Chibnall is the first non-showrunning writer in the revived series to write multiple stories within the same season, having previously written [[TV]]: ''[[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)|Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]]''. He would later become the showrunner in [[2018]]. * The plot of the episode is similar, if not the same as a game called "[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surviving_Mars Surviving Mars]". Even Brian's line: "What if they're bombs, billions of tiny bombs? Or transport capsules maybe with a mini robot inside? Or deadly hard drives? Or alien eggs? Or messages needing decoding? Or they're all part of a bigger whole, jigsaw puzzles that need fitting together?" can be found in this game. === Ratings === * "The Power of Three" was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on [[BBC One]] and BBC One HD on [[22 September (releases)|22 September]] [[2012 (releases)|2012]]. Overnight ratings showed that it was watched by an audience of 5.49 million live. The final consolidated rating rose to 7.67 million viewers, making it the thirteenth most-watched programme of the week on [[British]] television, and the fifth highest rated on BBC One.<ref>[http://guide.doctorwhonews.net/info.php?detail=ratings&type=date Doctor Who Ratings - UK final]</ref> The episode also received 1.3 million requests on [[BBC iPlayer]], placing it fourth for the month on the site behind the first three episodes of the series. It also received an Appreciation Index of 87, considered "excellent". === Filming locations === * Belle Vue Park, Albert Road, Penarth. * The satellite view depicting Rory's hospital and its environs was over the BBC's sprawling complex at White City, Hammersmith. The view is rotated 90 degrees, such that west is at the top of the screen. The building highlighted as the hospital is BBC Centre House. === Production errors === {{discontinuity}} * After [[Kate Lethbridge-Stewart]] enters Amy and Rory's house, we see her take out her scanner. When she originally takes it out, her screen is facing the Doctor, and in the next shot, it is facing away from him. * In some shots when the cubes are counting down from 7, some cubes are missing the numbers in one shot and then have them in the next. This can be seen at 28:01 when the Doctor is in the room with the cube, and when the nurse is removing the cubes from the hospital at around 25:44. * When Amy lifts her legs to allow the Doctor to vacuum the floor beneath her feet, Karen Gillan's audio recorder can be seen in the back pocket of her jeans.
