Quotes
====================================
"Do you think I'd just invent an emergency? That's the last thing I'd do. Because every time I see you an emergency just gets in the way." ~ Mickey Smith

"Ho, ho, mate. The missus and the ex. Welcome to every man's worst nightmare." ~ Mickey Smith
"You were my life. You know what the most difficult thing was? Coping with what happens next. No, with what doesn't happen next. You took me to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, you showed me supernovas, intergalactic battles and then you just dropped me back on Earth. How could anything compare to that?" ~ Sarah Jane Smith
"The Doctor likes travelling with an entourage. Sometimes they're humans, sometimes they're aliens. And sometimes they're tin dogs. What about you? Where do you fit in the picture?" ~ Sarah Jane Smith

"Seriously? Listen to us. It's like me and my mate Shireen. The only time we fell out was over a man, and we're arguing over the Doctor. With you, did he do that thing where he'd explain something at like, ninety miles per hour, and you'd go, what? and he'd look at you like you'd just dribbled on your shirt?" ~ Rose Tyler
Sarah Jane: Does he still stroke bits of the Tardis?
Rose: Yeah! Yeah, he does. I'm like, do you two want to be alone?

Trivia
====================================
In one scene Rose and Sarah break up with laughter when the Doctor enters the room, after spending several minutes comparing notes on the Doctor. To get a realistic reaction, David Tennant wore a fake moustache (unbeknownst to the actresses) as he entered the scene. Their reaction was caught in one take.
According to an interview with writer Toby Whithouse in Doctor Who Magazine #367, this episode had the working title Black Ops. The original storyline submission for the episode involved the Doctor meeting Sarah Jane while investigating events at an army base near an isolated village. The change of location to a school was suggested by Russell T Davies. Whithouse later clarified in the DVD commentary that the original specification for the script, given to an unnamed writer, had been for a school; the writer had instead submitted an episode set in an army base and admitted that writing for Doctor Who was possibly "not for him", so Whithouse had to write a script set in the school in a hurry.
Finch's unusual turn-of-phrase "Forget the shooty-dog thing" (referring to K9) strongly echoes the dialogue patterns used extensively on Joss Whedon's television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This is perhaps an intentional nod, as the actor who plays Finch, Anthony Head, is best known for his role as Rupert Giles on that series.
Sarah Jane has a Volkswagen car in this episode. In The Sarah Jane Adventures she has switched to a Nissan Figaro - she has done thie because her car was, most likely, destroyed when Mickey crashed it through the school.
Phil Collinson famously got to voice K9 as some scenes were recorded, including the one set in the chip shop. (Only John Leeson's voice was heard in the finished production, however.) According to Julie Gardner, it was a moment of supreme joy for the producer.
