- TriviaColin Baker named this as his favourite episode of the series, highlighting the "Everybody Lives" scene as his favourite moment.
- GoofsIn the preceding episode ('The Empty Child') the Doctor states that "mauve is the universally recognised colour for danger" and that red (the colour human beings most associate with alarm or danger) is, by everyone else's standards, "camp". However, when the Doctor attempts to open/enter the Chula ambulance ship in 'The Doctor Dances', the alarm that is triggered shows a blinking red light.
- Quotes
Captain Jack Harkness: The last time I was sentenced to death, I ordered four hyper-vodkas for my breakfast. All a bit of a blur after that... I woke up in bed with both of my executioners. Lovely couple, they stayed in touch! Can't say that about most executioners.

A Superb conclusion to the Empty Child
Historically with the two parters, we get one fantastic part and a let down part, that has gone on for ten years. This was the exception, Part 1 was outstanding at this part was even better.
It starts of in the same very high tempo manor, with a satisfying solution to the cliffhanger. It continues to be even creepier, the patients getting up and walking around are extremely creepy. During all the terror Rose wants to find out if the Doctor dances.
Jack becomes an even more interesting character, his flirty banter was fun, Florence Hoath continues to be superb in it. The imagery is superbly done, and the production values are superb. The ending is particularly good and has some very sweet moments.
