[edit] Trivia
- The name of the robotic control system, ROSM, is clearly an homage to the title character Rossum in R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), a Czech play from 1921, which first introduced the word 'robot' to the general lexicon.
- In episode 1, the Doctor quotes from Romeo and Juliet ("jocund day stands tiptoe"). This foreshadows the Shakespeare theme of the next play, The Time of the Daleks.
