Trivia
Professor Yana's costume was inspired by the First Doctor's outfit. Russell T. Davies even told the costume designer to "Hartnell him up".

Goofs
When the gates at Silo 16 are opened to let the Doctor into the base, a neon yellow safety jacket is briefly visible in the background through a fence.

Quotes
The Doctor: And Utopia is...?
Professor Yana: Oh, every human knows of Utopia. Where have you been?
The Doctor: Bit of a hermit.
Professor Yana: A-a hermit
[sounds doubtful]
Professor Yana: with, uh, friends?
The Doctor: Hermits United. We meet up every 10 years, swap stories about caves. It's good fun. For a hermit.

The Beginning of the End...

The TARDIS tries to escape the frantic clutches of Captain Jack and in doing so we are taken to the end of the universe for an encounter with the last of humankind who have their eyes firmly cast toward Utopia, alas...

Futurekind have ideas of their own, they've infiltrated, and one's in the zone, there's sabotage, disruption, interference and destruction but the main danger comes from a ticking timed eruption, that goes off unchecked with Shakespearean glare, and not too soon after, a body does flare.

Establishing an almighty build up to the final two episodes of the season.
