Notes
 
  1. This story was filmed in HD.
  2. It was transmitted back to back with the next episode Day One on its UK premiere.
  3. This story had two working titles; The Valley of Death and Flotsam And Jetsam (the former being the earliest title).
  4. As the first post-watershed production of the Doctor Who franchise, the episode features several firsts, including the first use of the F-word in a televised Doctor Who franchise production.
  5. A pre-credits sequence of Gwen and Jack on top of the Millennium Centre in a flash forward to the end of the story was cut but appears on the deleted scenes of the series one box set.
  6. This first episode uses the very human character of Gwen in much the same way as Doctor Who did with the character of Rose Tyler in 2005, taking the viewer along with them for the journey.
  7. A scene showing John Tucker being chased and murdered was shot but dropped.
  8. Two alternative scenes where shot showing Gwen being retconned - with the one in a traditional bar being dropped, in favour of the Buffalo Bar that was used for transmission.
  9. 'Buffalo' was also a password used by the Tenth Doctor to access UNIT files.
  10. Retcon is a refernce to the 'retrospective continuity' a means of covering up plot discrepancies used in many sci-fi shows. Other names considered for Retcon were Goldfish or Scooter.
  11. Several scenes were trimmed from the episode for broadcast on the CBC in Canada, including a scene in which Owen, using the pheromone spray, also seduces the blonde's angry boyfriend.
  12. It has been suggested that Owen's use of the pheromone spray was effectively "date rape".[1]
