The Doctor: [finishes locking the door with his Sonic screwdriver] Ok, that door should hold it for a bit. Captain Jack Harkness: The Door. The wall didn't stop it! The Doctor: Well it's got to find us first! Come on, we're not done yet! Assets, assets! Captain Jack Harkness: Well, I've got a banana and, in a pinch, you could put up some shelves. The Doctor: Window? Captain Jack Harkness: Barred. Sheer drop outside. Seven storeys. Captain Jack Harkness: [sits in a wheel chair] Rose Tyler: And no other exits.

MISTAKES/GOOFS
- DATE: Look closely at some of the freight wagons at 'Limehouse Green' railway station: several of them appear to have 'British Rail Freightliner' livery. This episode is set in 1941, but British Rail did not exist until 1948, and the Freightliner Division did not exist until the 1980s.
- DATE: A patient-doctor conversation has been recorded on a reel-to-reel tape recorder. Magnetic tape was invented in Germany in the 1930s, but wire recorders were more common in Britain during WWII, having been invented in the USA in 1939. The machine shown, a Wearite 2 speed, 1/4 inch tape deck, was not manufactured until 1947. The episode is set in 1941.
- CONT: As the gang start running from the child, who is breaking down the wall to get at them, there is a short sequence in which you can see the hole they dived through, the one Jack supposedly "digitally rewound".
- DATE: Magnetic tape recorders weren't available outside of Germany during World War II. True the tape recorder could have been captured from the Germans, but, as it was "cutting edge" technology for 1941, it would hardy likely to have ended up in a hospital office.
- CONT: As the child arrives in "his" room, we're shown a full reel spinning, which supposedly accounts for the noise of the ended tape. However, the reel keeps changing spinning speeds in the next few shots, in some of which the edge of the tape strikes the recorder decidedly off beat.
TRIVIA
- Several of Jamie's abilities were left unexplained in the finale of the episode, including his ability to make a door close by pointing at it.
- Bad Wolf Reference: Although you can barely see it, the bomb that Jack catches in the tractor beam has "Schlechter Wolf" written on its side. Schlechter Wolf means Bad Wolf in German.
- This episode was watched by 6.86 million viewers on its original transmission, winning a 38.53% audience share.
