Things to look out for...
 

DOCTOR WHO FOLKLORE The Doctor and Donna visit a "space station", headquarters to The Shadow Proclamation. As the Doctor said: "Posh name for Police". The installation is base to a brigade of Judoon (see SMITH AND JONES).

DOCTOR WHO FOLKLORE At The Shadow Proclamation, the TARDIS language translation nanodes do not translate the Judoon language. The Doctor speaks "Judoon": "No bo ho sho ko ro to so. Bo-ko-do-zo-go-bo-fo-po-jo! Mo ho"

DOCTOR WHO FOLKLORE Including Earth, the Dalek master plan has taken 27 planets/bodies out of space (and time). These include: Callufrax Minorr, Jahoo, Shallacotop, Woman Wept, Clom, Pyrovillia, Adipose 3, The lost moon of Poosh.

DOCTOR WHO FOLKLORE The disappearance of bees from Earth is explained by the Doctor as the bees, some from the planet Mellissa Majoria, "going home", leaving a trail to their home world. The trail is known as "The Tandocca Trail". This concept in some ways mimics the evacuation of Dolphins from Earth during Douglas Adam's THE HITCHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY stories.

DOCTOR WHO FOLKLORE The Daleks/Davros is using The Medusa Cascade as a "time-mask" (one second out of synch with the rest of the universe) to hide the 27 planets/bodies. The Doctor recalls that his once visited the Cascade when his was a boy when he was 90 years old or so.

DOCTOR WHO FOLKLORE The Doctor had last seen Davros during the Time War (which was "time-locked" to restrict entry/exit until its completion). He states whilst speaking to Davros: "In the very first year of the Time War. At the Gates of Elysium. I saw your command ship fly into the jaws of the Nightmare Child. I tried to save you."
