== Story notes ==
* The story was originally meant to be about the [[Sea Devil]]s turning humans into their own kind, but [[Malcolm Hulke]]'s estate wouldn't license them due to the revival of ''Doctor Who'' being planned and rights holders being approached by the BBC. As Keith Barnfather knew [[Barry Letts]] personally, it was easier to get the rights for the [[Daemon]]s.<ref>[[Downtime – The Lost Years of Doctor Who]] chapter 32</ref>
* The cottage used for filming belonged to [[Miles Richardson]]'s parents.
* Mention is made of an unnamed [[UNIT]] archive of alien artefacts, which has later been interpreted by some to be the [[Black Archive]].[http://neiloseman.com/looking-back-daemos-rising/] However, numerous mentions of this collection having "crates of shop dummies" indicate it to be [[the Warehouse]] seen in [[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Auton (home video)|Auton]]'', which was the only UNIT alien archive in the [[Doctor Who universe]] at the time of ''Dæmos Rising''{{'}}s production. This continuity is fitting, given that the characters [[Douglas Cavendish]] and [[Kate Stewart]] were originally intended to feature in ''Auton''. ([[REF]]: ''[[Downtime – The Lost Years of Doctor Who]]'')
* The story also tied in to [[Telos Publishing]]'s ''[[Time Hunter]]'' novellas range, with the credit, ''"Some concepts and characters based on the ''Time Hunter'' Books from Telos Publishing Ltd."'' appearing on the closing credits.
* The DVD was also released as a Limited Edition containing an inlay autographed by [[Beverley Cressman]], [[Miles Richardson]], [[Andrew Wisher]], [[Alistair Lock]], [[David J. Howe]] and [[Keith Barnfather]].
