* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The episode was a replacement for a story called "The New Team" by Paul Abbott (the creator of ''Series/{{Shameless|UK}}''), which would have been set in Pompeii.

An [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresOfPompeii entirely different Pompeii story]] would be made three series later, however.
