* | * The Doctor and Susan have mentioned the TARDIS's laboratory, workshop, conservatory and art gallery during the four travellers' "long weeks" aboard. Aside from the control room, Ian has only seen living, sleeping and recreational areas. | ||
* The sleeping quarters are located a significant distance from the console room in the novelisation. | |||
* Unique to the novelisation, the Doctor and Ian investigate the TARDIS's power rooms. It's a complex of fifteen separate rooms containing power stacks capable of powering every aspect of the Ship. Ian is lockedin with the internal scanner -- a piece of equipment designed to survey the other fourteen rooms -- and nearly suffocates to death before he can get the door open. | |||
* Also uniquely, Barbara explores the TARDIS laboratory where she is assaulted by books, boxes and various bits of equipment from the benches. The storeroom door in the shadow of the bookcase is lead-lined against its stock of radioactive isotopes. If she'd have entered without a protective suit, as Susan explains, she'd have been dead within thirty seconds. | |||
* The blinding flash is qualified to be not the Big Bang, for not even the TARDIS could survive such an event, but instead the birth of the Milky Way Galaxy. | |||
* Susan and Ian are having breakfast when the TARDIS materialises. The transition into ''[[Marco Polo (TV story)|Marco Polo]]'' exists, but is vaguer than its televised counterpart and lacks the cliffhanger ending. | |||
