*The name of the robotic control system, ROSM, is clearly an homage to the title character Rossum in
R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) , a Czech play from 1921, which first introduced the word 'robot ' to the general lexicon.
*In episode 1, the Doctor quotes from "Romeo and Juliet " ("jocund day stands tiptoe"). This foreshadows theShakespeare theme of the next play, "The Time of the Daleks ".External links
