* DownerEnding: Stories such as ''100 Wizards'' and ''The Thirteenth Floor'' must be viewed with tissues at handhand. [[spoiler:The latter's depressing ending is later rectified in the next story, with Tom and Lexi's memories of the 20 years they spent in the Neverway being restored, and then the Season Finale gives Tom the power to fix it completely - he saves Lexi's life by ''truly'' making her human, and he brings their son, Benny Junior, back into existence. So the original Downer becomes, by all appearances, an EarnYourHappyEnding for Lexi and her son, though it's unclear about their presence in Tom's life (as he's still fighting the Nekross and [[AmbiguousSituation might be keeping his distance to protect them]]... making it a BittersweetEnding at the ''worst''.)

One storyline, "The Thirteenth Floor", was adapted from an unfilmed ''Sarah Jane'' script and many behind-the-scenes personnel were carried over. WordOfGod is that the series was commissioned when it became known that ''Sarah Jane'' star Elisabeth Sladen's health was going to delay production of her show; it became a permanent replacement when Sladen died and the BBC retired SJA.
