Doctor Who

Snakedance - S20-E2

Trivia: Brian Miller, who stars as Dugdale in this story, was the husband of Elisabeth Sladen, the actress who portrayed the Doctor's companion Sarah Jane Smith in the show from 1973 to 1976.

Enlightenment - S20-E5

Trivia: The Doctor replaces the sprig of celery in his lapel with one conjured by the Eternals in this episode. The previous piece had been one he'd picked up in "Castrovalva", which was a Block Transfer construct created by Adric. This means that both pieces of celery were unreal constructs from artificial realities.

Arc of Infinity - S20-E1

Trivia: Commander Maxil is portrayed by Colin Baker, who would later succeed Peter Davison in the role of the Doctor.

Earthshock - S19-E6

Question: In Earthshock, season 19, at the end of episode 3, the Cyber Leader views his troops marching down the corridor. Each column is headed by a Cyber Leader. Is this a mistake, or is there more than one Cyber Leader allowed per army?

Answer: In 'The Five Doctors', three separate Cyberleaders are definitely used. So it's likely that Cyberleaders are like unit commanders, of which a fair-sized army might have several.
