* In 102 a gathering of the Doctors enemies included: Commander Strak and four Sontaran battlefleets, Daleks with 12,000 battleships and Cyberships.
* Chelonians are cybernetic tortoises with X-ray vision that hate humans.
* The Hungry Earth used a steelworks on location made to look like a coal mine. The hungry "hole" was actually a mechanics pit with a secret little room accessed through a trap door as people slide through a rubber ring that inflates to give the impression of being sucked through the earth.
== Additional details ==
* The Pandorica Alliance feature (The Ultimate Monster Gang) also mentions: Drahvins, Draconians, Atraxi, Terileptil, Zygons and Chelonians.
* Incidentally, mention of the Chelonians (with a pictorial reference) is the first reference to a non-BBC created alien encounter of the Doctor. The encounter however does appears as an e-book online.

* This issue had a cover price of £2.50 (UK).
