Trivia

For this episode, writer Peter J. Hammond borrowed his own idea - from a story he first used in the 1979 Sapphire & Steel series. There, ghosts from old photographs came to life and could trap the living inside the pictures. Here, very similar mischief is afoot, with the ghosts coming out of old silent films instead.

Revealing: 3-2 (Children of Earth: Day 2): When Ianto drops the concrete cell into the quarry and it breaks apart, the green foam from which it is made becomes visible. It is evident that the outside of the block was painted to resemble bricks and concrete block. When this breaks apart on the ground, the inside becomes visible, showing the concrete and brick textures are only surface deep.

Character mistake: 3-1 Children of Earth, Day One: Lois says that Colonel Aduya's uniform "isn't British Army". In fact, it is entirely (and accurately) British Army with the exception of the small UNIT badge over the pocket.
