Quotes

The Doctor: "I did it again. I picked another stupid ape. I should have known. It’s not about showing you the universe. It never is. It’s about the universe doing something for you."

Rose: "So you’re a bit of a Del Boy then?"

The Doctor: [to baby Rose] "Now, Rose… You are not going to bring about the end of the world, are you?"

Notes

This episode takes place in the year 1986.

Near the beginning of the episode, an ‘Energize’ poster has the words "BAD WOLF" graffitied over it.

The Doctor actually dies without regenerating.

Shaun Dingwall will reprise the role of Pete Tyler in episode five and six of series two.
