Story Notes
- This is the first story for Ace Bhatti as the Sixteenth Doctor, and the first story for Jayd Johnson as Chrissie Finch.
- This is the second story to have a Shakespeare play as a plt point, the first being Season 47's The Shakespeare Code.
- Chrissie is the first companion to originate from a historical period since Sammy Thompso.
- This is the first, and so far only story in the franchise's history to feature the return of a historical figure.
Continuity
- The Doctor has encountered witch-like beings before. (DW: The Shakespeare Code, The Food of Love)
