Trivia / Doctor Who S29 E3 "Gridlock"

---

• Completely Different Title:
  • The French title is "L'Embouteillage sans fin" (The Endless Traffic Jam).
  • The Japanese title is "Great Traffic Jam".
• Never Work with Children or Animals: Brannigan and Valerie's children were played by real kittens, which proved difficult to direct.
• What Could Have Been:
  • In the original outline, there would be a focus on both the denizens of the Undercity which were riding the Motorway, and the high-class citizens of the Overcity.
  • In devising an appropriate aquatic monster, Russell T Davies considered both a Godzilla-like reptile and a giant octopus before recalling the Macra.
  • There were supposed to be baby Macra that fed on the drivers of the Motorway's lowest level.
• Working Title: "Chasing Fumes".
