+* Much of [[Dako]]'s part, such as the first meeting with [[Tor (The Space Museum)|Tor]] and [[Sita]] and capturing the Doctor, is given to a new character, [[Bo]]. Dako is changed to the Xerons' contact among the slave workers and doesn't appear until he goes to find Barbara.
+* Another new character, [[Gyar]], accompanies the Xerons to the armoury and takes on Sita's role of going with Vicki to find Barbara.
+* The Morok commander is named as [[Ogrek]] and the Morok that Ian captures is named [[Pluton]]. Pluton saves Dako and Gyar's lives by telling his superiors they are dead; in return, the Xerons spare him when they storm the headquarters and he accompanies them when they kill [[Lobos (The Space Museum)|Lobos]] and Ogrek.
+* Lobos is given a robot companion, [[Matt (The Space Museum)|Matt]], who he destroys in a fit of rage.
+* The Doctor's explanation for why they jumped a time track is omitted, with him simply producing the component which caused it.
+* The lead-in to the following televised story, ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'', is omitted.
