Trivia
Due to the episode's uniqueness and originality, plot and production details were kept very secret. Despite releasing paragraph length plot summaries for each episode in advance of its airing, all the BBC released for this episode was: "This is footage collected from a space rescue mission. If you value your life, your sanity, and the future of your species, DO NOT WATCH IT".

Quotes
The Doctor: Sleep is vital. Sleep is wonderful. Even I sleep.
Clara: When?
The Doctor: Well, when you're not looking.

Crazy credits
Instead of the usual opening credits, an acrostic appears at the end of Rassmussen's opening monologue with vertical letters forming "DOCTOR WHO" highlighted. The acrostic consists of the various characters' names and some sort of ID code. Among the visible names are: GAGAN RASMUSSEN 39900076, 474 T000, OSAMU CHOPRA 8889234, DAIKI NAGATA HJSSLL 56890, DEEP-ANDO 633389. The station's name is visible ("LE VERRIER-H999267") and so is "CLARA OSWALD" - the latter with no extra numbers. There are at least two codes with no names attached: "00002458888C" and "03326755".
