Trivia
The Doctor mentions that "emergency program one" will send Donna home should she be left alone in the TARDIS for five hours. In Doctor Who: The Parting of the Ways, this program was activated by the Ninth Doctor to send Rose Tyler home. See more »Goofs
A character in one scene has two shadows, while the rest have only one. In wide overhead shots, he has two shadows, but in tighter shots from floor level, he has only one shadow. See more »Quotes

I'll save my full blown review when the story is complete but as usual Moffat and Doctor Who never disappoints especially with this chiller of an episode providing us with a slew of iconic imagery to go with the already bursting array of memorable moments which this show is notorious for providing.
The first part provides so much beautiful setup for what could be an incredibly striking second part.
We're just gonna have to get used to this when Moffat takes over in 2010.
