3. In a interview with SFX Meera Syal who plays Dr Chaudhry has said "her project is to drill as far as she can towards the centre of the Earth. And, in fact, the episode opens with her reaching the target, and she gets further than anybody else has ever done. And that’s what starts off the problems!”
4.The episode is set in the year 2015 in a Welsh village.
5. It was originally thought that the Sea Devils would also appear in this episode but it was just The Silurians mask that they were wearing in the Series 5 trailer.

Funny, I'm watching the "Doctor Who and the Silurians" 1970 episode. They live in a cave, and are planning to populate earth (as they say they own it).

I must watch some classic series episodes! I think this plot is similar to that one The silurians want their planet back and The Doctor has to intervene before a war breaks out.

I'm still only at the beginning of Pertwee episodes. Can't wait to get to Tom Baker, hope he's as good as I expect.
