Notes

• This is the final story for both Ryan & Graham, who leave at the end of this story.  Graham does make a brief cameo at the end of “The Power of the Doctor“, but Ryan is not seen again after this.
• This also features the return of Robertson from the earlier “Arachnids in the UK“.
• Finally features the return of John Barrowman as Capt Jack Harkness who finally gets to meet the 13th Doctor.  He is a full character in this story.  Due to Barrowman’s real life legal issues, this could be his final appearance in the series.
• At the end of this episode, there was a short 30 second teaser released called “Welcome to the Tardis” which featured the announcement of new companion Dan Lewis, played by John Bishop.  Said trailer can still be viewed on the BBC’s Youtube channel today.
