Cast notes

• Lloyd Pack and David Tennant previously worked together in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as father and son — Barty Crouch Sr and Barty Crouch Jr respectively. Ironically, Tennant played the villainous role in the film.
• Colin Spaull played the role of Lilt in Revelation of the Daleks, which was also directed by Graeme Harper. Spaull is the sixth actor to appear in both the classic series and in the revival.
• Don Warrington, who plays the President, previously provided the voice for Time Lord founder Rassilon in the Doctor Who audio plays produced by Big Finish Productions.
• As seen in Doctor Who Confidential episode "Cybermen", the actors playing the Cybermen went through extensive choreographing to perfect their movements.
• Graeme Harper is the first director to have directed stories in the "classic" and "new" series of Doctor Who, having previously directed The Caves of Androzani and Revelation of the Daleks.
• According to The Sun, Lloyd Pack broke his leg just days before filming began on the episode, requiring the scripts being rewritten to place his character, John Lumic, in a wheelchair.^{[citation needed]} Writer Tom MacRae told Doctor Who Magazine in issue #369 that no rewrites were necessary: the script had always had Lumic in a wheelchair.
• Lloyd Pack told The Daily Mirror that he based the character of Lumic on Donald Rumsfeld: "I thought, 'Who is a power-hungry mad person who believes he is completely right and has a lot of control?' Donald Rumsfeld came to mind. He's as bad a man as I see around now."^[1]

Continuity

• Doctor Who Magazine #368 confirmed that this story was inspired by the Big Finish Productions audio play Spare Parts, which Russell T. Davies had previously described (along with The Holy Terror) as "some of the finest drama ever written for any genre, in any medium, anywhere." Spare Parts author Marc Platt, received a fee and was credited in the end titles ("With thanks to Marc Platt"), and there is a nod in the dialogue with Mickey labelling himself a "spare part". However, writer Tom MacRae noted that his television story was not a simple rewrite of Spare Parts: "My story isn't the same — it's got a different setting, different themes, and different characters, cos once we started talking, the whole thing developed in a very different direction. But as Russell says, we wouldn't have started this whole line of thinking if he hadn't heard Spare Parts in the first place." (In the 2005 series, the audio play Jubilee was adapted into the episode Dalek.)
• The episode (and its second chapter) also includes similarities to the the 1968 serial The Invasion as the first episode of the earlier serial also introduces a powerful electronics company dominating the planet and run by a man (in the case of The Invasion, Tobias Vaughn) who is in league with the Cybermen. Both stories also include characters who are resisting the company, as well as rebellious chief "henchmen" working for the villain.
• Rose's "Superphone", originally a Nokia 3200, has been replaced by a Samsung D500.
• In the commentary, it is noted that Jackie's "40th" birthday is a reference to the 40th anniversary of the broadcast of The Tenth Planet, the first appearance of the Cybermen.
• The name of the front company on the lorries transporting the Cybermen, International Electromatics, is a reference to the Cybermen's front company in the 1968 serial The Invasion. St Paul's Cathedral, which appears matted into the background in one of the scenes shot in Cardiff, also appeared in The Invasion, which featured the Cybermen marching down its steps.
• When Rose asks if the Cybermen are robots, the Doctor replies that they are "worse than that." The same exchange happened between the Fifth Doctor and Captain Briggs in Earthshock (1982). A Cyberman tells the President, "You will be like us." This is a catchphrase of the original Cybermen, first used in the Second Doctor story The Tomb of the Cybermen (1967).
• John Lumic has similarities to Davros, the creator of the Daleks, who appeared in Genesis of the Daleks (1975) and every subsequent Dalek serial in the original series. Both are wheelchair-bound scientists who are dependent upon technology to stay alive, and both attempt to perpetuate their own images by creating races of cyborg creatures. Both scientists also have meetings with their political leaders, then opt to destroy their respective governments rather than abandon their scientific experiments.
• The President says, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry", to the Cybermen at the party. The Doctor used this phrase in New Earth when examining a diseased 'New Human' and this phrase will be used later in the 2006 series, for example in the next episode, The Age of Steel.
• The naming of the parallel Mickey as "Ricky" is a reference to an old joke from the Ninth Doctor's deliberate naming of Mickey as Ricky to annoy him.
• The conversions are performed at Battersea Power Station, which is shown to be fully operational with four smoking chimneys in this parallel universe. Battersea Power Station was last seen in the series (with its chimneys damaged) in The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964). The external shots of the Battersea Power Station chimneys and many of the internal shots were taken at Uskmouth Power Station in Newport.
• Mickey apparently gets a hair cut in between the events of The Girl in the Fireplace and this episode, indicating that some time has passed and the possibility of unseen adventures taking place in that gap, or, more simply, that there are hair clippers on the TARDIS. The episode also reveals that Mickey sports a large tattoo on his right bicep; according to actor Noel Clarke's commentary, the tattoo was make-up applied for the episode.
• When last seen, Pete Tyler asked Rose if, in the future, he had gone gray; when she failed to answer, he looked concerned and asked if he'd gone bald. In this episode, the parallel Pete Tyler has indeed begun to bald.
• The face of Big Ben on the parallel Earth is seen to have a square face instead of a round one. However, when next seen in The Age of Steel, it has reverted to a round face.
• Annoyed at the Doctor's choice to sneak into Jackie's birthday party as servants, one of Rose's suggestions of people they could have been are "Sir Doctor" and "Dame Rose", a reference to the honours they received from Queen Victoria in the episode Tooth and Claw.
• There are two Torchwood references in this episode, one in the news report that Rose watches on her mobile phone which mentions the Torchwood Institute, and during the party, when Pete Tyler identifies a party-goer as "the guy from Torchwood". This implies that the Institute is either more public on this parallel Earth or is not the same type of organisation (or both).
• New catchphrases for the Cybermen include talking about compatibility like the clockwork droids of The Girl in the Fireplace and a repeated use of "Delete!", the last comparable to the Daleks' "Exterminate!"
• The events of this story are referred to several times in the subsequent episodes Army of Ghosts and Doomsday.

Parallel universes in Doctor Who

The story takes place on a parallel Earth. A parallel version of Earth, complete with counterparts to familiar characters, was previously seen in the 1970 Third Doctor serial Inferno. In this story, the Doctor says that the TARDIS draws energy from its own universe, and the energy of the parallel Earth is incompatible. In Inferno, this was not an issue because the Doctor was powering the TARDIS console in both universes using current drawn from a nuclear reactor. The meeting of Mickey and Ricky appears to contradict Inferno, where the Doctor refuses to take the parallel universe counterparts back to his universe, implying that the consequences would be disastrous. Parallel universe or alternate reality in science fiction and fantasy is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with our own. ... The Third Doctor is the name given to the third incarnation of the Doctor seen on screen in the long-running BBC television science-fiction series Doctor Who. ... Inferno is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in seven weekly parts from May 9 to June 20, 1970. ... Core of a small nuclear reactor used for research. ...

The Doctor also states that the Time Lords used to control the barriers between parallel universes, making journeys between them easier. This appears to contradict the continuity established in the Big Finish Productions audio play Neverland, where Time Lord society founder Rassilon and the early Time Lords were hostile towards parallel timelines and Rassilon even sought to eliminate them. On the other hand, Inferno implied that until then, to the Doctor's knowledge, parallel timelines were only a theoretical possibility. Big Finish Productions is a British company that produces audio plays released straight to compact disc, based on British cult science fiction properties. ... NeverLand is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ... Rassilon is a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...

The concept of a white "Void" between dimensions, and its description as given in this story (as "nowhere"), is reminiscent of the Void from episode one of the 1968 serial The Mind Robber. It is unclear in the context of the 2006 episodes if this is intended as the same Void from the earlier story. The Mind Robber is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in five weekly parts from September 14 to October 12, 1968. ...

Production

• Early drafts of this story featured "Body Shops" where wealthy people would purchase new cybernetic limbs. Davies vetoed this element because he found it unbelievable. He also instructed Tom MacRae to tone down the differences between the parallel universe versions of characters and their "real" universe counterparts. "I think it was one of those great lessons about the freedom of SF, as well as its greatest dangers, because when you're creating a parallel world, you suddenly get excited by saying everyone can wear eye patches," said Davies, referring to the alternative Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart in Inferno.^[2]
• According to Graeme Harper on the episode commentary, the pre-credits sequence was written by Russell T. Davies as he was not satisfied with the original opening.
• The Cybus Corporation has a website at http://www.cybuscorporation.com/. However, this is a fan-produced site and not one of the tie-in websites produced by the BBC.^[3] Official BBC websites include http://www.cybusindustries.net http://www.cybusfitness.co.uk/ and http://www.internationalelectromatics.co.uk/. In fact, the organisation is only ever referred to as "Cybus Industries", with no use of the word corporation.
• The BBC also registered the following domain names: cybusindustries.com, cybusindustries.co.uk, cybusfinance.com, cybusfinance.co.uk, cybusproperty.com and cybusproperty.co.uk.^{[citation needed]}
• The Art Deco look of the 2006 Cybermen design follows that from the web cast Real Time. According to the episode commentary, director Graham Harper wanted an Art Deco feel to the parallel universe Earth. Art Deco costumes had previously been used for the K1 Robot in Robot (1974) and for much of the cast (including robots) in The Robots of Death (1976). The Art Deco design, as well as the robotic movements of the Cybermen, are reminiscent of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
• Unlike the two-part stories from the 2005 series, this episode featured no "Next time" trailer for the next episode — only a title card reading "To be continued...", the first time the phrase has ever been used to end an episode in the programme's history. The production team had stated previously that one episode in this series was so long that there was no time for a preview. Many viewers had criticised the use of a preview at the end of the 2005 episode Aliens of London for World War Three as it spoiled the dramatic cliffhanger ending.
