This is the third filmed contribution by the new series production team to Children in Need. In 2005, they offered the Children in Need Special (aka 'Pudsey Cutaway'). In 2006 they provided a live concert of music during the traditional Children in Need charity time period, and subsequently offered it to home viewers before the original broadcast of The Runaway Bride.
In 1983, The Five Doctors was also broadcast as a part of the Children in Need charity drive, although it had been produced for the show's 20th anniversary.
After the original series was cancelled beforehand, the 1993 Children in Need special Dimensions in Time featured a broad selection of the original cast (many playing their characters for the first and last time since their televised adventures).
This story marks the first appearance of a Doctor from the original series in the new series, although recognisable drawings of original series Doctors were previously seen in TV: Human Nature. Archive footage of the previous Doctors would later be used in TV: The Next Doctor, among other stories.
This story is directed by Graeme Harper, who also directed Peter Davison's last story, The Caves of Androzani.
Peter Davison's name appears in the credits, the first time (other than the 1996 TV movie) that an original series Doctor has had his name at the start of an episode.
This is the first official episode of Doctor Who written by Steven Moffat that doesn't use his theme of highlighting childhood fears.
According to writer (later executive producer) Steven Moffat, in an interview with Doctor Who Magazine #389, the events of Time Crash are canonical.
Incidental music from the Fifth Doctor era is used as part of the background music.
According to Doctor Who Confidential, the Fifth Doctor's costume consisted of an original series coat, shirt, trousers and hat band borrowed from an exhibit, and a new hat and hand-knitted jumper. The trousers had extra fabric sewn into the bottom, which identified them as the pair worn by Colin Baker in his first scenes as the Sixth Doctor. Peter Davison also remarked that a real stick of celery was included in the ensemble, rather than the fake piece used during most of his tenure.
This story does not take place after the end of Last of the Time Lords; it comes in between the Doctor saying goodbye to Martha and the end of the episode.
When the Tenth Doctor puts on his "brainy specs", he says "Snap!", referring to the children's card game in which players must say "Snap!" when two of the same card are played. The Doctor previously said "Snap!" to himself in The Two Doctors, when the Second and Sixth Doctors met. River Song later says "Snap!" when she shows the Doctor her sonic screwdriver (which is actually his).
