** According to Creator/RusselTDavies' autobiography, the original plan for the 2008 Christmas special was to depict the Earth being reshaped in the image of the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' books after an alien parasite starts feeding off of Creator/JKRowling's imagination, with the Doctor having to fight witches and wizards to save Rowling and the world.

This creates the unfortunate effect of the last scene with him featuring him gloomily looking down at the crowd below, weary after recent events and taking the praise with a grain of salt.

** Davies later realised that it would have been a better ending to have Miss Hartigan redeem herself by making the falling [=CyberKing=] disappear, rather than introducing what Davies calls "a silly Dalek continuum dimension vault" to the plot. Davies states that he "can't bear that there could have been a better ending than we actually transmitted".

He also mulled another completely new idea, about a hotel which becomes displaced in time.
