Trivia
When Amy and Rory are running through the halls of the TARDIS it is only the second time, since the return of the show in 2005, that any part of the TARDIS other than the control room has been shown.

Goofs
Idris censures The Doctor for the way he enters the Tardis - pushing the doors inwards whereas she points that the sign on the Tardis says 'Pull to open' Whilst it is true that the original police box doors did open outwards, the sign in question is part of the Tardis that contains the telephone for the public to call the police. The sign saying 'Pull to open' is an instruction as to how to access the telephone, not the Tardis itself. This smaller door does indeed open outwards, and therefore is, pulled to open.

Quotes
Idris: Did you ever wonder why I chose you all those years ago?
The Doctor: I chose you. You were unlocked.
Idris: Of course I was. I wanted to see the universe, so I stole a Time Lord and I ran away. And you were the only one mad enough.

A Time Lord's Trouble & Strife...

The Doctor receives Time Lord Mail. A white box with a message, a hail. Setting off in pursuit. A risky commute. To a place that's off piste and off trail.

A sentient rock known as House. Then kidnaps the time traveller's spouse. Locked into a lass. To expire and pass. Extinguish, annul, smother, douse.

So the Doctor and Sexy engage. Make the most while she's not in her cage. A great dialogue. Leaving you all agog. A conjugal piece of exchange.

But they're trapped on the rock and are foxed. House has taken the remaining blue box. With companions inside. Chased by Ood with green eyes. It's a race to reclaim and re-dock.
