[edit] Trivia

  • In a planned homage to this story, boxes from a chain called Jubilee Pizza were supposed to have been seen in the background in the television episode it inspired, "Dalek", but the scene was cut. The pizza chain finally appeared in the premiere episode of Torchwood, "Everything Changes".
  • Before the beginning of Part 1, a fake movie trailer for Daleks: The Ultimate Adventure plays, with the Doctor portrayed as a dashing hero, Eyelyn is portrayed as a young, sultry companion, and the Daleks are heard doing some very un-Dalek like things (such as laughing evilly and shouting 'Scarper!' when the Doctor appears). The trailer is set within the parallel Earth featured in this story.
  • Martin Jarvis (Nigel Rochester) and Rosalind Ayres (Miriam Rochester) are married in real life.
