* NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals: Nancy's group had more relevance in early drafts, but as most of this episode takes place during night and shot during the evening, filming restrictions for children at night necessitated that a majority of their child actors would not be available and thus got demoted to minor roles in the final product. Scenes like the kids eating dinner were meant to only showcase them, but were rewritten to feature the Doctor to lighten their time in the story.

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: “Captain” Jack wears the uniform of an RAF squadron leader. In later episodes the braid on his coat is exchanged for that of a group captain, though this rank is not to be shortened to captain. ''Doctor Who'' is also guilty of shortening it in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E3VictoryofTheDaleks "Victory of the Daleks"]].

** Creator/StevenMoffat's original outline envisaged Jax (masquerading under the alias "Jack Harkness") as an interstellar alien soldier who befriends the Doctor but intimidates Rose. He was to be tracking an escaped child-creature, the story's antagonist.
