Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
At the time The Dæmons was produced, only two BBC television channels were in operation, the existence of a BBC 3 was intended to suggest a future timeframe (see UNIT dating controversy).
BBC Three still did not exist by the time Roland Rat: The Series was broadcast, and was therefore a sort of joke.
In the real world 1970s plans did exist for a third BBC analogue network, but were ultimately shelved in favour of the IBA's second network Channel 4.
In the script for the ultimately unproduced 1993 film The Dark Dimension, a BBC3 news reporter named Tony McCabe is said to have been killed at Oxford Circus.
