- some fans have taken this as a reference to Planet of the Spiders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_of_the_Spiders), the 3rd Doctor's final appearance. Um, the spiders in question controlled people while sitting on their backs. Something to do with the Rackoss, maybe?
Overall, excellent episode, very fun (even if the villains were sort of underwhelming). And the whole "Positions!" bit with the Roman family reminded me of Mary Poppins. ♥
