Production

Co-creator Annabel Jones disclosed the following information about the episode: "Black Museum is absolute popcorn. It’s three stories in one – a portmanteau-type thing – but absolutely full of ideas that whip along and before you know it you’re at the end of a 90-minute film and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, can you please stop? This is horrendous – stop throwing me these things!” It’s just unrelenting. It was the last we did in terms of shooting."

Trivia

• Dr. Peter Dawson's story was based on an unreleased short story by Penn Jillette.
• The Black Museum contains several artefacts from previous episodes.
  • From The National Anthem, a diorama of Carlton Bloom hanging himself.
  • From White Bear, Victoria Skillane can be seen on a screen at the entrance, and there is a small figurine of Baxter wearing the balaclava.
  • From Playtest, a few diagrams of SaitoGemu's Mushrooms.
  • From Hated in the Nation, an ADI beneath a magnifying glass.
  • From USS Callister, Robert Daly's DNA replicator with Tommy's lollipop in the tray.
  • From Arkangel, the cracked tablet used to monitor Sara Sambrell.
  • From Crocodile, the bathtub in which Anan Akhand was murdered.
• The refueling station next to the museum is called BRB Connect, which is a likely reference to the episode Be Right Back.
• At one point Jack is seen reading the the plot of Fifteen Million Merits (here titled '15M Merits) in comic book form.
• Rolo Haynes' test rats are named Kenny and Hector, after the characters from Shut Up and Dance.
• The news network seen in this episode is USN, presumably an American counterpart to the often-seen UKN.
