Classic Series Influences and References:

  • The Face of Bo is from the Isop Galaxy, which is where the Planet Vortis is situated according to The Web Planet
  • Setting two stories on the same space station a significant time-period appart strongly echoes The Ark in Space and Revenge of the Cybermen.
  • The Doctor says his previous adventure on the space station allowed him to be "home in time for tea", which is a line taken from Dragonfire, a story which had many similarities to The Long Game.
  • The Dalek ships seen at the climax of the story are the same basic design as those shown originally in the Dalek Chronicles comic strips (image link), and as part of the new CGI special effects created for the DVD release of The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
  • The Lunar Penal Colony is mentioned, seen previously in Frontier in Space.
  • The reveal of the Daleks is identical to their original appearance, whereby a female companion is alone in a desserted Dalek area, then seen only through a Dalek point-of-view shot.

Untelevised Adventures

  • Planet Raxacoricofallapatorious (9th Doctor, Rose, Jack)
    The Slitheen from Boom Town who has been regressed to an egg is returned to a hatchery
  • Kyoto, Japan 1336 (9th Doctor, Rose, Jack)
    In an adventure directly following the visit to Raxacoricofallapatorious and directly preceeding Bad Wolf, the time-travellers barely escaped with their lives.

Buy the Complete First Series

This is an absolutely must for anyone who remotely enjoyed the new series of Doctor Who. Unlikely the previous individual releases of episodes, the box set has extras coming out of its ears. And whereas some box sets just have extras on the final disc, this brilliant package has a selection of extras on each disk, plus the entire set of Doctor Who confidential (cut down) on another disk.

Nothing much needs saying about the episodes themselves but commentaries on certain episodes are almost worth the price alone. The commentaries of Rose, The Unquiet Dead and Dalek are of particular note and the video diaries of certain members of the team are very interesting and fun. The TARDIS container is a nice package and overall, believe me this set of DVDs is well worth the asking price, or probably more!
