MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Near the end of "Silence in the Library," a sweeping shot shows that they're standing between two freestanding bookshelves. But at the beginning of this one, when they're supposed to be in the same place, they're able to break through a wall into a separate room.
PLOT: In Part One, The Silence of the Library, the Expedition Director says that it has taken three generations for them to break through the library's cryptography, yet at the end of Part Two, he notes that Cal is his grandfather's daughter (his aunt), meaning that it is impossible for it to have been three generations of work on the library's computer systems.

TRIVIA

The wedding dress Donna wears in this episode is the same dress she wore in “The Runaway Bride”.
"Forest of the Dead" was initially announced under the title "River's Run", before its name was changed relatively late in production.
According to Steven Moffat, the squareness gun is the sonic blaster used by Jack Harkness in season 1. After Jack leaves it in the TARDIS, River Song will take the gun in the Doctor's future.
The characters Joshua and Ella are respectively named after Steven Moffat's son and his son's friend.
