 * The film's original trailer had no direct references to Dr. Who, ''Tardis'' or Daleks.
 * During the course of the movie the Daleks are heard using [[rel]]s as a time measurement, which would later be used in the comics and TV series.
+* Tom's foiling of the "[[smash and grab]]" marks a peculiar instance of [[time travel]] in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' which is at odds with ''most'' accounts in mainstream continuity which establish that generally a time traveller cannot go back and change their own personal [[history]].

A trailer was discovered in the basement of a church in northern England in 2009. ''The supposed "trailer" was fan-made, as the graphics were too advanced for circa 1967. Producer Milton Subotsky claimed that a third film was planned based on The Chase, but there is no contemporary evidence to support this. BBC documentation exists which suggests that the arrangement with Subotsky was for two films only, and no negotiations for a third film ever took place.''

 No official novelisation of the screenplay was ever published; however, the original teleplay, ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'', was eventually novelised by [[Terrance Dicks]] in [[1977 (releases)|1977]] as ''[[Doctor Who and the Dalek Invasion of Earth (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Dalek Invasion of Earth]]''. This novelisation homages the film by depicting its version of the Dalek flying saucer on its cover.
 An unofficial novelisation was written by {{w|Alan Smithee}} and was published by [[Obverse Books]].<ref>[https://obversebooks.co.uk/product/daleks-invasion-earth-2150ad/ Daleks Invasion Earth 2150AD]</ref>
