• The play's title is a play on the title of the 1977 Doctor Who serial Horror of Fang Rock.
• Bernard Cribbins plays music-business manager Arnold Korns; he previously appeared as policeman companion Tom in the Peter Cushing 1960s Dalek film Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD. Since recording this episode, he appeared in the 2007 Christmas episode "Voyage of the Damned" in the role of Wilfred Mott. Mott became a recurring character during the fourth series of the television show, where he was revealed to be the grandfather of companion Donna Noble. He himself became the last companion of the Tenth Doctor in "The End of Time".
• The play contains many in-joke references to 1970s rock groups such as The Only Ones and Arnold Corns, and certain songs such as "Tommy, Can You Hear Me?"
• The play includes an original song, "Children of Tomorrow", with music by Tim Sutton and lyrics by Barnaby Edwards; it is performed by Stephen Gately and Clare Buckfield. Sutton also arranged a glam rock version of the Doctor Who theme music which is performed over the end credits. Both songs are included as extras on the story's CD release. Later in 2007, the song became downloadable on iTunes.[1]
• Clare Buckfield appears in the Doctor Who adventures Dead London and The One Doctor.
• Una Stubbs appeared alongside Third Doctor actor Jon Pertwee in the 1970s/1980s children's TV series Worzel Gummidge.

• "Hey, Doctor, leave those kids alone."—Arnold Krohns (Bernard Cribbins) to The Doctor
