* MissingTrailerScene: The clip [[https://youtu.be/xbMmsShghT4 'Introducing the New Companion...']] was released by the BBC a year before the episode aired, but is almost entirely missing from the final cut. In the episode, Bill's expression changes suddenly where the conversation has been removed.
** This is because the "Introducing the New Companion" (also known as "Friend from the Future") was a standalone scene created to announce Bill and was shot several months before "The Pilot" was filmed, at which point a few sequences from the short were re-filmed for the episode. (Note, among other things, the Doctor holds Bill's hand at the end of the short; he does not in the corresponding scene in the episode which is also on a different set.)

* AscendedFanon: Bill's crack about the Doctor running "like a penguin with its arse on fire" appears to have been inspired by fans who have been comparing Peter Capaldi's style of running to that of said bird since 2014.
