The series is one of the first to prominently feature elements from the revived era (2005 on) of the show; the character of River Song was introduced in " Silence in the Library" (2008) as a time traveller with a mysterious connection to the Tenth Doctor, who does not recognize her. The Rulers of the Universe, the fourth episode of Series 1, sees River crossing paths with the Eighth Doctor, a still younger incarnation.

One such scheme was established by the Secretary of State by means of the National Health Service (Existing Liabilities Scheme) Regulations 1996. That scheme applied to liabilities arising out of or in connection with any breach of duty by Health Authorities and other bodies before 1 April 1995. There is a separate scheme for post 1 April 1995 breaches. The breach alleged by the Claimant against Liverpool Health Authority in this case was a breach of duty qualifying under the 1996 Regulations and the Authority was an eligible body within the meaning of Regulation 2. The scheme, to be administered by and be subject to the directions of the Secretary of State, offered Health Authorities and other bodies, on terms, indemnity against their liabilities for breach of duty.

Even in the soul-darkening world of prosecuting child abuse, Kunath’s case stood out. “This is, in my career, the most serious case of child abuse I’ve dealt with,” Crown prosecutor Jayme Williams said at the time of trial.

Doctors surmised that the child would suffer lifelong handicaps as a result of the mistreatment. At trial, Kunath’s main defence was that his torture of the infant was not sexually motivated, but was due to his anger at his girlfriend spending time with the baby’s biological father. In August, 2017 — not quite seven years after the crime — Kunath was released on day parole with the note that he had “showed regret.” Hughes Media Internet Limited (3 May 2018).
