Trivia
The episode had the working title of First Contact (Number 122). This was a reference to the number of occasions on which UNIT had encountered alien lifeforms, ostensibly, always for the first time.

Goofs
There are a multitude of ways to accomplish sterilization, but the ones mentioned by Erica are among the least effective. A scientist would suggest chemical, autoclave (high heat steam), pressure, or irradiation before suggesting dropping something into boiling water.

Quotes
Erica: [surprised when the Tardis appears] Oh my god!
The Doctor: No, I'm the Doctor, but it's an easy mistake to make.

No thank you

I only gave four stars because I don't like bills.

Since the beginning I found her annoying. Donna Rose, Amy, Rory or Clara would have never given to the monks.

The actress didn't do a bad job, it's just her character. I understand she had big shooes to fill after the departure of Clara but it didn't do the trick for me.
