The Master calls himself "Sir Gilles Estram", Estram being an anagram of Master. To maintain the surprise of the Master's appearance at the end of the episode, the listings magazine Radio Times credited the part of Sir Giles to "James Stoker", itself an anagram of "Master's Joke." (edit)

Ranulf: He is said to be the best swordsman in France!
The Doctor: Well, fortunately, we're in England. (edit)

Anachronism: Although iconic, the iron maiden was almost certainly never used in medieval England. (edit) Factual Error: It's very strange that Sir Gilles — and only Sir Gilles — speaks with a French accent. In 1215, French was the official language of the English court. Either everyone should have a French accent or no one should. (Foreign languages had previously been represented as unaccented English). (edit) Anachronism: The iron maidens, including the Master's TARDIS, have an Elizabethan ruff. (edit)
