Season 2 / Episode 9: - The Satan Pit (2)

The Doctor: Except that implies - in this big grand scheme of Gods and Devils - that she's just a victim. But I've seen a lot of this universe. I've seen fake gods and bad gods and demi gods and would-be gods - out of all that - out of that whole pantheon - if I believe in one thing... just one thing... I believe in her.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: Despite the comments of the Doctor and others, it is quite possible to establish a stable orbit around a black hole (or any other large mass in space), given appropriate velocity and distance. (Our own Sun is, in fact, in orbit around a super-massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.)

TRIVIA

SPOILER: The effect of Toby/the Beast floating in space was achieved by having the actor swimming underwater and removing the air bubbles.
The Ood's communication balls/weapons are practical props when the Ood are holding them, but CGI when they are being used as weapons and shocking people.
Due to the shooting schedule (especially the fact that all of the episodes with the Cybermen needed to be shot together), this episode was shot closest to its air date. Combined with the immense amount of CGI work needed in this episode, the production staff was concerned about finishing it by the air date and, in fact, were unable to provide a preview tape to the media as they usually did (prompting speculation that they did not release a preview because of some big plot-based secret).
This episode was watched by 6.080 million viewers on its original transmission.
