* The BBC's Head of Serials, [[Graeme MacDonald]], was so unimpressed by the set designs in this story that he ordered that [[designer (crew)|designer]] [[Don Giles]] was never to work on the series again. By coincidence, part three includes a line of dialogue in which the Doctor criticises the decor of the Swampies' execution chamber and recommends its architect be fired. | * The BBC's Head of Serials, [[Graeme MacDonald]], was so unimpressed by the set designs in this story that he ordered that [[designer (crew)|designer]] [[Don Giles]] was never to work on the series again.

* The episodes of this serial are noticeably shorter than average. While it was normal at the time for individual episodes to fluctuate between twenty-three and twenty-five minute, the episodes of this serial clocked in as little as just over twenty-one minutes. In addition, parts three and four begin with longer-than-usual reprises of the events leading up to the preceding cliffhangers, both clocking in at close to ninety seconds each. The final running time for the whole serial is 90 minutes, as is noted by the DVD of this story. | * The episodes of this serial are noticeably shorter than average.

* Tom Baker was credited as "The Doctor" in ''Radio Times'', as opposed to the usual "Dr. Who". The use of this billing had previously occurred with ''[[Image of the Fendahl]]''.
