* BudgetBustingElement: Showrunner Creator/RussellTDavies' inexperience with managing a sci-fi show resulted in most of the budget for series 1 being spent on this episode, which featured heavy use of expensive CGI and elaborate practical alien effects and costumes. The reduced budget for the rest of the season is why many of the other episodes of series 1 have a contemporary UK setting.

* TrollingCreator: The line stating religion is not allowed on Platform One is one of those controversial moments where Creator/RussellTDavies, the showrunner at the time, [[AuthorFilibuster inserted his own beliefs (or lack thereof) into the narratives]], fully intending to provoke controversy.

* TroubledProduction: Creator/RussellTDavies had never managed a SciFi series before, and didn't really know how to properly budget it. This led him to blow the majority of the first series' budget on this episode. While the rest of Series 1 did struggle a little because of it — the settings and sets are noticeably limited — the show was already a guaranteed success from the revival's initial episode and remains fondly remembered today despite this.

* ShootTheMoney: The episode introduces The Face of Boe, which is clearly an extremely expensive prop. It takes practically no part in the story other than looking exotic. Fans with some grasp of the economics of television production knew they'd be seeing more of it. And so it proved, as it returned in the following two series, complete with actual importance to the story.

* RealitySubtext: Rose Tyler rants at the "bitchy trampoline" Cassandra that "she'd rather die" than have any of the cosmetic modifications Cassandra suggests. The very powerful subtext at work here is that Creator/BilliePiper had ''anorexia'' years earlier.

* CommonKnowledge: The Ninth Doctor's having something of a reputation as a UselessProtagonist -- mostly because aside from this episode, the two-parter of "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances" is the only time the day is saved by the Doctor himself instead of Rose or a guest character -- has caused some fans to incorrectly remember Jabe as the one who saves the day in this episode. While she does play a big part in helping the Doctor resolve the situation, she ends up burning to death before the Doctor actually gets to that point.
