Quotes
====================================
"I heard they rot your brains. Rot them into soup, and your brain comes pouring out of your ears. That's what television does." ~ Gran
"Well... this could still be New York. I mean, this looks very New York to me. London-y New York, mind. But..." ~ The Tenth Doctor
"Men in black, vanishing police cars. This is Churchill's England, not Stalin's Russia." ~ The Tenth Doctor
"But I can't help thinking, Detective Inspector, you're not exactly doing much detective inspecting, are you?" ~ The Tenth Doctor
"Know her..she...They did what? They left her where? The street? They left her in the street. They took her face and just chucked her out and left her in the street. And as a result, that makes things simple. Very, very simple. Do you know why? Because now, Detective Inspector Bishop, there is no power on this earth that can stop me!" ~ The Tenth Doctor
"Rubber soles! Swear by them!" ~ The Tenth Doctor
"Sorted. Electrical creature. TV technology. Clever alien life form. That's me, by the way. I turned the transceiver back into a transmitter and I trapped The Wire in here. I just made the home video thirty years early. Betamax. Oh look! God save the Queen, eh?" ~ The Tenth Doctor
"Just to be on the safe side though, I'll use my unrivalled knowledge of transtemporal extirpation methods to neutralise the residual electronic pattern. I'm going to tape over it." ~ The Tenth Doctor

Trivia
====================================
Magpie Electricals apparently continues to exist beyond the death of Mr. Magpie; Martha Jones had a Magpie brand television in TV: The Sound of Drums, and a Magpie brand microphone can be seen in Voyage of the Damned. The new TARDIS interior, after it repaired itself following the events of TV: The End of Time, has some parts made by Magpie Electricals. Magpie apparently continues to thrive into the future, as a large sign with the company's logo can be seen aboard Starship UK in TV: The Beast Below.
Originally, the Doctor was supposed to have a line about having trouble with radio transmitters, which was supposed to be a reference to Logopolis, where the Fourth Doctor fell from the Pharos Project transmitter to his death.
All the television aerials seem to resemble Nazi swastikas. On the DVD commentary, one of the set designers mentions that this was done to evoke the post-war era.
David Tennant mentioned on the DVD commentary that he accidentally hit the button on the sonic screwdriver prop while putting it into his pocket, causing the light to flicker on and "sonic-ing" himself. This is clearly visible on the episode itself.
The scene where the Doctor flips his interrogation with Detective Inspector Bishop is similar to the scene with the Seventh Doctor and the Chief Caretaker in Paradise Towers.
