The Titanic and Doctor Who
The RMS Titanic has been mentioned a number of times previously, but this marks its first actual appearance.
- In the Fourth Doctor story The Invasion of Time (1978), the Doctor claims that he "wasn't responsible" for the disaster.
- In "Rose", Clive, a conspiracy theorist, shows Rose an old photograph of the Ninth Doctor with "the Daniels family of Southampton", on the eve of their scheduled voyage aboard the Titanic. For an unspecified reason, they cancelled their trip, escaping the ship's fate.
- In "The End of the World", the Ninth Doctor mentions that he "was on board another ship once. They said that was unsinkable. I ended up clinging to an iceberg, it wasn't half cold."
- The Titanic did appear in the Virgin New Adventures book The Left-Handed Hummingbird, written by Kate Orman. Like all spin-off media, the canonicity of this appearance is unclear.
Pre-broadcast publicity
- Kylie Minogue was reported by tabloid newspapers to be appearing in this episode. Russell T Davies initially dismissed this story but a statement by Minogue indicated that she would be in the episode. The BBC officially confirmed her role in early July.
- On July 6, 2007 the Jewish Telegraph reported that Clive Swift will appear in the Christmas Special. Swift is best known for his role as Richard Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances.
- On July 10 2007, The Sun claimed that Geoffrey Palmer would appear in the episode. Though the report's reliability was unclear, it was later confirmed by the BBC.
