Behind the scenes
- The show was featured in the National Television Awards Sketch 2011, where while the Eleventh Doctor tried to drop off Dermot O'Leary at the National Television Awards in 2011, he accidentally overshot by a year. Dermot and the Doctor saw the judges of Britain's Got Talent (at the time of series 5 in 2011): Amanda Holden, David Hasselhoff and Michael McIntyre. She criticised the Doctor's TARDIS, saying it was "just the same thing again", "an appearing, disappearing, blue telephone box". The Doctor apologised, explaining to Dermot that she was now Prime Minister. He said that in "the Holden Years" she was notorious for pressing "that big red button", which she did to the Doctor. The "big red button" is used on the show to reject an act.
- David Walliams was part of the judging panel starting with series 6 in 2012.
