* Ace mentions to Kathleen [[Gabriel Chase|an old house]] in [[Perivale]], which the Doctor overhears. Originally, this was supposed to be a foreshadowing of the events of ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'', but the rearranging of the broadcast schedule turned it into a reference to a past, unseen adventure. Also, the Doctor starts off the story in a duffel coat that hid his altered outfit which was supposed to be revealed for the first time during the course of this story. This too was affected by the rearranging of the schedule, as the new outfit had already been seen in ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]''. | * Ace mentions to Kathleen [[Gabriel Chase|an old house]] in [[Perivale]], which the Doctor overhears.

* Shooting on the serial went over-length to such a degree that consideration was briefly given to editing the story into five rather than four episodes. However, [[Ian Briggs]] strongly opposed this as he felt that the narrative flow would be badly disrupted. As it turned out, there was never enough material to warrant a fifth episode. | * Shooting on the serial went over-length to such a degree that consideration was briefly given to editing the story into five rather than four episodes.

Fortunately, Mallett was able to compose the scene using mostly wide-angle shots instead. | ||
* The infant Audrey was portrayed by the son of the proprietors of ''The Bush Hotel'' on Shepherd's Bush Green who was familiar to the production team as it was near the ''Doctor Who'' offices. | * The infant Audrey was portrayed by the son of the proprietors of ''The Bush Hotel'' on Shepherd's Bush Green who was familiar to the production team as it was near the ''Doctor Who'' offices. | ||
* Two of the Haemovores in part four are played by [[Sylvester McCoy]]'s sons [[Sam Smith|Sam]] and [[Joe Kent-Smith]].
