Story Notes
- This is one of the few serials in which the ending credits have been changed from the regular credits. Adric's gold star is shown broken in pieces while the credits roll in silence.

Discontinuity, Plot Holes, Errors
- The Cybermen use emotional words like "Excellent". Positive emotion is supposedly absent in Cybermen.
- The Cyberleader says "I know that object" speaking about the TARDIS, which infers that the Cyberleader has encountered the Doctor and the TARDIS previously. This means that either the order of the Cybermen television stories being aired and what order the Cybermen actually experience them in is different, that the Cybermen are timetravellers and this is the same Cyberleader from other stories in a different body, or that there have been other, unseen encounters with incarnations of the Doctor other than the Fifth.
Continuity
- The Doctor uses Adric's gold star to asphyxiate the Cyberleader. This was first demonstrated as a weakness in Revenge of the Cybermen.
- The Cybermen watch' several scenes from previous Cybermen stories The Tenth Planet, The Wheel in Space and Revenge of the Cybermen. (This last arguably creates a continuity error as, in The Ark in Space, the Fourth Doctor seemed to indicate that Nerva Beacon "was put together" sometime after the 31st century, six centuries after Earthshock. A number of explanations could exist for this apparent contradiction, though.)
