Trivia

1. The room in which the Doctor talks to the Minotaur is called "The Pasiphaë Spa". According to Greek mythology, Pasiphaë had given birth to the Minotaur after falling in love with a bull.
2. Amy's room number was 7, a reference to her age when she first met the Doctor.
3. The Doctor's room number was 11, a reference to the fact that Matt Smith is the Eleventh Doctor and that this story is the eleventh of the 2011 series. A similar "11' reference occurred in the eleventh episode of series 5.
4. When the Doctor and the gang enter the room containing the ventriloquist dummies, a boom mic is visible in the reflection of the mirror behind the bar (07:16).
