The scene with John Barrowman was originally written for Mark Gatiss. When Davison heard that John Barrowman was upset of not appearing in the 50th, Davison decided to shoot the scene with Barrowman instead.
The scene of David Tennant blocking the studio doors with a fire extinguisher was the first scene filmed for this story.
Tom Bakers absence and use of Shada footage is a reference to the Five Doctors thirty years prior where he declined to appear in the 20th Anniversary and they used footage from the unfinished story to allow him to appear, there's even reference to this in his answer-tone.
Sarah Churm, who plays John Barrowman's wife, played Peter Davison's daughter in At Home with the Braithwaites (2000).
Tom Baker's absence from the plot not only references his refusal to appear in the 20th Anniversary, but also the fact that he was the only past Doctor to appear in the 50th Anniversary special (as the mysterious Curator).
"Peter Davison: Okay, I've got a call from my contact. I know the filming dates, and I've got a plan. Colin Baker: Your contact? Who is this contact? Peter Davison: Well, I've picked up a lot of contacts over the years. Sylvester McCoy: Oh, I've picked up quite a few contacts while filming "The Hobbit". Peter Davison: Anyway, my contact... Colin Baker: [Interrupting] This "contact" wouldn't have a Scottish accent and be married to your daughter, would he? Peter Davison: Now you see, I can't reveal that."
"Georgia Moffett: I know, I know, but Dad said if you'll do this one last thing, then he'll stop calling us. David Tennant: Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it, but I've gotta do it now. I've got to be back on set in five minutes. Okay, call you later. [Hangs up phone] Georgia Moffett: One more... oh. Never mind. [Looks at phone, then at an oxygen mask near her face] David Tennant: [to himself] Something I meant to ask her about. [Shakes head, walks off] Maternity Nurse: And... PUSH! Georgia Moffett: [SCREAMS]"
