Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Everyone remembers the rhinos, Olga!   Apparently?   The mouths on the heads are animatronic.   (Oh, the Sontarans are back in the next episode!   I think they get their armour from the same company as the Judoon.)

†        That it would, Edith: it’s only a short trip away, too.

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        It usually goes behind us, Debbi!   Oh, about The Halloween Apocalypse, Debbi?   The chap playing Suveyor Kragar — the Sontaran that was reporting in, the holographic one? — was Dan Starkey: Strax, in other words.   You can’t do Sontarans without him being involved, at some point … !
