- TriviaThe full quote from "The Shepherd Boy" in the book "Household Tales" by the Brothers Grimm is:
The King said, "The third question is, how many seconds of time are there in eternity." Then said the shepherd boy, "In Lower Pomerania is the Diamond Mountain, which is two miles and a half high, two miles and a half wide, and two miles and a half in depth; every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on it, and when the whole mountain is worn away by this, then the first second of eternity will be over."
- GoofsWhen you see The Doctor appear in the teleport machine for the second time, the teleport "special effect" is missing and The Doctor is briefly visible just standing in the chamber waiting for his cue to start coughing. This is not how the effect was seen in the beginning of the episode and subsequent scenes.
- Quotes
[first lines]
The Doctor: [voice over] As you come into this world, something else is also born. You begin your life, and it begins a journey towards you. It moves slowly, but it never stops. Wherever you go, whatever path you take, it will follow - never faster, never slower, always coming. You will run; it will walk. You will rest; it will not. One day, you will linger in the same place too long; you will sit too still or sleep too deep. And when, too late, you rise to go, you will notice a second shadow next to yours. Your life will then be over.
