 * ''Radio Times'' credits [[Peter Hawkins]] as "Cybermen Voices" for episode two, and as "Cyberman Voices" for episodes three and four. All on-screen credits read "Cybermen Voices".
 * Actress [[Shirley Cooklin]] (Kaftan) was married to producer [[Peter Bryant]]. Her character was written especially for her by Gerry Davis. [[Frazer Hines]] actually flirted with her, not realising that she was his boss's wife.
-* [[Peter Bryant]], who had previously been assistant to [[Gerry Davis]] and been newly promoted to script editor on the preceding story, was allowed to produce this serial to test if he could take over from [[Innes Lloyd]] as producer later in the season. Bryant's own assistant, [[Victor Pemberton]], acted as script editor on this serial, but left the series after production of the serial was finished. He did not want to be a script editor. When Bryant's eventual promotion to producer came, [[Derrick Sherwin]] became script editor.

-* [[Victor Pemberton]] actually served as story editor from ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (TV story)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'' to ''[[The Ice Warriors (TV story)|The Ice Warriors]]'' but this was the only story in which he received credit.

Edited into an [[omnibus]] format, it was aired by BBCA on [[24 February (releases)|24 February]] 2013, after the debut of their homegrown special called, ''[[The Doctors Revisited - The Second Doctor]]''.
