Behind the scenes
- During the 2001 DVD commentary for Spearhead from Space, Nicholas Courtney was amused by the fact that visible on a shelf behind the Brigadier's desk was a file labelled "X" — in other words, "the X file."
- Gary Russell has cited The X-Files as a major source of inspiration for the novel The Scales of Injustice. The novel's Pale Man echoes the programme's Cigarette Smoking Man. Even the Pale Man's subordinate, The blond man, is based on the Crew Cut Man, Cigarette Smoking Man's subordinate. [1]
