The name of the Mars colony, Bowie Base One, is a reference to musician David Bowie and his song "Life on Mars". This is confirmed in Doctor Who Confidential: Is There Life on Mars? (2009).

Several festive references remain, such as the crew on Mars preparing for Christmas dinner, and the snowing when The Doctor arrives back on Earth as he exclaims how he likes snow.
In a deleted scene, The Doctor suggested that the Ice Warriors were unable to fully defeat the Flood and fled the planet as a result, explaining their absence.

"Adelaide Brooke: State your name, rank and intention. The Doctor: The Doctor, doctor, fun."
"Adelaide: But you said we die. For the future. For the human race! The Doctor: Yes, because there are laws. There are laws of time. Once upon a time there were people in charge of those laws but they died. They all died. Do you know who that leaves? *Me!* It's taken me all these years to realize that the laws of time are *mine* and they will obey me!"
