'''''The Mysterious Planet''''' was the unbroadcast title given to the first story of ''The Trial of a Time Lord'', the season-long story arc that constituted [[Season 23 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 23]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. The story marked the first appearance of [[the Inquisitor]] and [[the Valeyard]], two characters who would appear throughout the season, along with [[Sabalom Glitz]], who would appear again later in the season and also in [[Season 24 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 24]]. With this story, the series returned to half-hour episodes. Also beginning with this story, the series was now completely produced on videotape (with the exception, in this story, of a brief special effects sequence in Episode 1). | |||
With this episode, [[Peter Howell]]'s rendition of the ''Doctor Who'' theme was exchanged for a mysterious and surreal arrangement of the theme tune composed by [[Dominic Glynn]]. It would remain in use solely for season 23 and close out [[Colin Baker]]'s era on the series. | With this episode, [[Peter Howell]]'s rendition of the ''Doctor Who'' theme was exchanged for a mysterious and surreal arrangement of the theme tune composed by [[Dominic Glynn]].

Glitz confirms that the planet is actually Earth. Drathro reactivates the service robot and sends it to the village.

However, the total length of the broadcast season remained fixed at about three months annually, resulting in about a 50% drop in seasonal output as compared with previous seasons. | ||

* The filmed insert that begins part one of a special effects sequence involving the TARDIS and [[Space Station Zenobia|the space station]] would be the last shot-on-film footage made for ''Doctor Who'' until the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|1996 TV movie]]. Ironically, the Fox network recycled this footage for its promotional advertisements for the film (even though it wasn't included in the movie). The series revival from 2005 to the present uses videotape which is later processed to look like film, though small parts have been shot on film. <!--Specifically, some shots of the Nestene lair exploding in "Rose" were shot on 16mm film according to the "Destroying the Lair" DVD featurette, the close-up of the spacecraft hitting Big Ben in "Aliens of London", and the flying monks in "Tooth and Claw". --> | * The filmed insert that begins part one of a special effects sequence involving the TARDIS and [[Space Station Zenobia|the space station]] would be the last shot-on-film footage made for ''Doctor Who'' until the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|1996 TV movie]].

* The model of the space station was six feet wide. The 45-second-long opening scene of it from this story was the first use of a motion-control camera on ''Doctor Who'', took a week to film, and cost over £8,000 making it the most expensive ''Doctor Who'' sequence to date. [[John Nathan-Turner]] justified the sequence's cost as it was the first new scene shown to viewers after the programme's hiatus, and by reusing parts of it as establishing shots for the rest of the ''Trial'' stories. [http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/7a.html] [[Colin Baker]] felt that the money could have spent elsewhere. | |||
* The ''[[Radio Times]]'' programme listing for part one was accompanied by a black and white publicity still of the Inquisitor and the Doctor in the courtroom, with the accompanying caption "Can the Doctor (Colin Baker) convince the Inquisitor (Lynda Bellingham) that he hasn't been misusing his time? / BBC1, 5.45 p.m. Doctor Who". | * The ''[[Radio Times]]'' programme listing for part one was accompanied by a black-and-white publicity still of the Inquisitor and the Doctor in the courtroom, with the accompanying caption "Can the Doctor (Colin Baker) convince the Inquisitor (Lynda Bellingham) that he hasn't been misusing his time? / BBC1, 5.45 p.m. Doctor Who".

* In a featurette included with the 2008 DVD release, [[Nicola Bryant]] states that "some time has passed" since the events of ''[[Revelation of the Daleks]]'', and therefore she and Baker played their roles as if the two had grown closer over time. Exactly how much time passed for the characters during the show's 18-month hiatus has never been established. The Doctor in this story states he is 900 years old, the same age given in ''Revelation''; however in an episode of ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'', [[Melanie Bush|Mel]] states the Doctor's age as "900-odd" suggesting this is an approximation or it reflects the fact the Doctor meets Mel at a later time than he does Peri. | * In a featurette included with the 2008 DVD release, [[Nicola Bryant]] states that "some time has passed" since the events of ''[[Revelation of the Daleks]]'', and therefore she and Baker played their roles as if the two had grown closer over time.

* The Doctor says he is 900 years old, as in [[TV]]: ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]''. However, this is at odds with the ages given by the [[War Doctor]] and [[Ninth Doctor]] in later adventures. (See [[The Doctor's age]]) | |||
* The fourth episode overran, so to compensate, several segments were removed or trimmed, including some material from the courtroom. This included what should have been the second trial scene, in which the Valeyard observes the Doctor revealing confidential Gallifreyan information to Peri and the Inquisitor asks the Doctor why he visited Ravolox in the first place. A later loss was the Valeyard's pronouncement that Humker and Tandrell would have repaired the system problem themselves were it not for the Doctor's interference, and the Doctor noting that the situation on Ravolox had endangered the entire universe. | * The fourth episode overran, so to compensate, several segments were removed or trimmed, including some material from the courtroom.

[[John Nathan-Turner]] initially believed that the role would have to be recast at short notice, but visual effects designer [[Mike Kelt]] had anticipated this development. Instead it was agreed that Kelt's assistant, [[Paul McGuinness]], would operate Drathro, while Brierley read in his lines from off camera. | ||

* [[Jonathan Powell]] hated the story. | * [[Jonathan Powell]] hated the story. In an unusually detailed commentary, he took issue with the slow reveal of the trial scenario, the lack of clarity as to the nature of the crisis on Ravolox, and the extent of the Doctor's involvement in its resolution. Most frustratingly for [[John Nathan-Turner]], Powell seemed to contradict [[Michael Grade]]'s edict that humour feature more prominently in Season 23, reserving some of his most stinging criticism for elements such as the Doctor's taunting of the Valeyard and the comic banter between Glitz and Dibber. [[Robert Holmes]] was deeply hurt by these criticisms and [[Eric Saward]] was angry at Powell's lack of respect for Holmes. Fortunately, [[John Nathan-Turner]] and [[Nicholas Mallett]] were able to convince Powell that only fairly minimal changes to Holmes' scripts were necessary. This included the deletion of an early scene depicting the Doctor and Peri in the TARDIS, which made way for the Doctor's earlier discovery of the nature of his trial, and the elimination of much of the invented slang from Glitz and Dibber's dialogue. | ||

* At one stage, Drathro was joined by another L3 robot called Jethro who had been severely damaged. This character was later replaced by Humker, Tandrell and the L1 service robot. | |||
* [[Robert Holmes]] rehashed the plot of his first serial [[The Krotons (TV story)|''The Krotons'']], while the banter between conmen was lifted from [[The Ribos Operation (TV story)|''The Ribos Operation'']]. | |||
* [[Nicholas Mallett]] informed [[John Nathan-Turner]] that episodes three and four were badly underrunning. With [[Robert Holmes]] too sick to contribute the necessary material, Nathan-Turner himself wrote two and a half minutes' worth of content, extending some of the courtroom material while adding an extra scene in which Broken Tooth and Balazar argued about the route to Drathro's “castle”. | |||
* When the cast and crew arrived in the studio to film the trial scenes, the courtroom set was nowhere to be found. It transpired that it had been erected in the wrong studio and, when hurried attempts were made to assemble it, it was found to be too large and in need of modification. As a result of these delays, [[Nicholas Mallett]] was unable to record the Doctor's arrival on the space station, so it had to be remounted. | |||
* [[John Nathan-Turner]] cast [[Lynda Bellingham]] and [[Tony Selby]], having met them at the restaurant owned by Bellingham's husband. | |||
