MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: In "Aliens of London" it is established on a 'missing person' poster that Rose Tyler is approximately 19 years of age in March 2005 (the poster says 'missing since 6 March 2005'). This means that she must have been born prior to March 1986. However, in 'Father's Day', which is dated 7 November 1987, Rose is still a baby in her mother's arms - but she should be a toddler aged approx two.
FAKE: When everyone runs into the church, Jackie picks up what is obviously an empty baby carrier, as it swings back, showing no baby inside it.
CONT: Rose has brown eyes. Baby Rose has very vivid blue eyes (some babies are born with blue eyes, but not that blue).

TRIVIA

This episode was watched by 8.06 million viewers on its original transmission, winning a 44.38% audience share.
The church used in this episode is St Paul's Church in Grangetown, Cardiff.
As Rose and Pete drive to the church, on the car radio is Rick Astley signing "Never Gonna Give You Up" before being replaced by another, anachronistic song.
This episode was originally called "Wounded Time".
The Doctor is very careful to avoid Rose coming into contact with baby Rose. This isn't the first time the Doctor has been concerned about this - although it doesn't apply (it seems) to Time Lords. In Mawdryn Undead, The Brigadier comes into contact with a past version of himself, causing a sort of "temporal short".
