The serial marked several milestones for the program. Most notably, it was the first [[List of multi-Doctor stories|multi-Doctor]] story, establishing the concept of the Doctor being able to meet his past incarnations. As such, it also marked the return of [[William Hartnell]] and [[Patrick Troughton]] to the roles of the [[First Doctor]] and [[Second Doctor]] respectively. Narratively, this tenth anniversary special also ended the three year long story arc of the Third Doctor being [[Exile on Earth|exiled]] to [[Earth]], which had begun in [[season 7]] in 1970. Additionally, the special saw [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] and [[Sergeant Benton]] enter [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] for the first time. It was incidentally the first use of the phrase "it's [[Dimensional transcendentalism|bigger on the inside than it is on the outside]]," notably by the Third Doctor as a suggestion for what Benton ''should'' say. | The serial marked several milestones for the program.

The story also saw the Time Lords give the Doctor a new [[dematerialisation circuit]] and restore his knowledge on how to use the TARDIS, ending the three year story arc of the Third Doctor's exile on Earth that was imposed on the Second Doctor at the end of ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]''. Although, it wouldn't be until his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]] that the Doctor would end all ties with his predecessor's exile on Earth. | |||
Though Troughton eagerly made more reappearances in multi-Doctor stories, this was the last time Hartnell appeared as the First Doctor, and his only multi-Doctor outing. He had been suffering from arteriosclerosis and his condition was beginning to heavily deteriorate from the terminal sickness. His wife advised against a physically demanding role out of concern for his failing health. For this reason, Hartnell's role in the story was limited to pre-recorded appearances on video screens, while seated in a chair at [[Ealing Television Film Studios]], and delivered his lines with the aid of cue cards. Nearing the end, Hartnell succumbed to his illness only two years later. | Though Troughton eagerly made more reappearances in multi-Doctor stories, this was the last time Hartnell appeared as the First Doctor, and his only multi-Doctor outing.

As part of the 60th anniversary celebrations in November 2023, the story was re-released as the fourth episode of ''[[Tales of the TARDIS]]''. Each serial within it was edited together to form a single episode. Newly filmed material with the serial's original cast bookends each episode.

[[Arthur Ollis]], the warden of the [[bird sanctuary]], walks over to it and bends down to examine it. A [[Land Rover]] arrives at the cottage where Mr Ollis lives. A man steps out and knocks on the door. [[Mary Hollis|Mrs Ollis]] opens the door and the man introduces himself as [[Doctor]] [[Tyler (The Three Doctors)|Tyler]]. He asks her about the device, and she tells him her husband is looking after it. The device is carrying an unusual energy blob that seems intent on capturing the [[Third Doctor]]. Tyler goes over to the area, and he and Mr Ollis sight each other. Suddenly, there is a crackling noise from the device, and when Mr Ollis bends down to examine it, he vanishes. The [[bird]]s fly off in panic. Doctor Tyler gets back in his Land Rover and asks to be put through to [[UNIT]]. He heads off to [[UNIT HQ]] and when he arrives, he meets with the Brigadier, the Doctor and Jo Grant. Tyler tells the Brigadier what happened, and he tells Tyler that he and the Doctor will be happy to help him. When Jo asks him what the box is for, he tells her it is for [[cosmic ray]] research. Tyler explains that even though he's not [[NASA]], he still gets the results. Jo asks why the [[balloon]]s are still being used. Doctor Tyler tells her that inside the device is the most advanced cosmic ray monitoring device between here and [[Cape Kennedy]]. Doctor Tyler tells the Brigadier he was going to contact UNIT for help. Doctor Tyler shows the Doctor some results which surprise the Doctor. | ||
The Brigadier asks if there is anything they can do; at the Doctor's request, he hands a [[silicon]] rod to the Doctor, who proceeds to stir his [[tea]] with it. The Brigadier then specifies if there is anything UNIT can do about the [[space lighting|space lightning]]. The Doctor tells him there is some sort of compressed light that travels faster. When the Doctor asks if the machine is working properly, Doctor Tyler tells him it is, but he hasn't developed the latest plate yet. The Doctor tells him to develop it at once and then let him know. The Doctor and Jo go off to look for the balloon, and Tyler tells the Brigadier he will be fine. The Brigadier tells Tyler to make himself at home. When the Brigadier has gone, Doctor Tyler develops his plate and is horrified to see Mr Ollis' screaming face. As Tyler goes to dismantle the box, the crackling sound is heard again, and Doctor Tyler mysteriously vanishes, while a strange organism emerges from the box and heads down the nearby sink plughole. | The Brigadier asks if there is anything they can do; at the Doctor's request, he hands a [[silicon]] rod to the Doctor, who proceeds to stir his [[tea]] with it.

However, [[Frazer Hines]] was busy with ''[[Emmerdale]]'' and so his lines were given to Benton. To try and salvage the idea of Jamie appearing, the production team even tried to write a cameo for him in the last scene calling the Second Doctor back to his own timeline but even that was scrubbed due to ''Emmerdale'' commitments.

* [[Terrance Dicks]] was once asked how [[Patrick Troughton]] and [[Jon Pertwee]] got on and he jokingly replied "Not at all". Initially, the two clashed over differing acting styles and working methods — Troughton was fond of ad-libbing and goofing around, while Pertwee insisted on sticking to the script. After Pertwee questioned Troughton on one of his ad-libs, Troughton replied, "Instead of worrying about what I'm going to say, worry about what you're going to say." The two also quarrelled over Pertwee's habit of moving [[Stephen Thorne]] slightly to get better camera angles for himself, something that Troughton objected to as he felt the camera was rightfully focusing on the monsters. The two eventually did become good friends and would play up a mock rivalry at conventions. This had knock-on effects ten years later during the making of ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', with Dicks deliberately writing the script so that the Second and Third Doctors would not meet until everybody came together at the climax, which ended up disappointing both Troughton and Pertwee. | * [[Terrance Dicks]] was once asked how [[Patrick Troughton]] and [[Jon Pertwee]] got on and he jokingly replied "Not at all".
