* This story was planned as a four-part serial, but was increased to five after the previous adventure, ''[[The Dominators (TV story)|The Dominators]]'', was reduced from six to five episodes.

These are also Jamie's last words in his last regular serial, ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'', as he charges an English redcoat on the fields of Scotland. | * Before Jamie, as played by Hamish Wilson, gets turned into a cut-out for the second time, he shouts, "Creag an tuirc!"
