Roughly ten minutes into the episode, Martha (along with Thomas Milligan) arrives at Professor Docherty's facility, kicking off a plot which eventually sees Docherty betray Martha and give her up to the Master. Bit rude.

There are a few scenes set inside Docherty's facility scattered throughout the episode, and according to Agyeman, these were all shot during the last few days of production.

Whether they were always planned to be the last days - or whether they were bumped there due to that aforementioned Teague/Harper switcheroo - she doesn't say.

He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
