'''''Planet of Fire''''' was the fifth serial in [[season 21]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. In addition to being the penultimate adventure to regularly feature [[Peter Davison]] as the [[Fifth Doctor]], the story featured the final regular appearance of [[Mark Strickson]] as [[Vislor Turlough]], the destruction of [[Kamelion]] and the introduction of [[Peri Brown]]. It was [[Peter Grimwade]]'s final script and [[Fiona Cumming]]'s last [[director]]ial turn for the programme. For Turlough's last story, it was decided that his mysterious past, outlined in ''[[Mawdryn Undead (TV story)|Mawdryn Undead]]'', should be explored. | '''''Planet of Fire''''' was the fifth serial in [[season 21]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.

Exteriors were shot on location in [[Lanzarote]] in the [[Canary Islands]]. The location was chosen after Cumming promoted it with photos from her holiday. Grimwade decided to use the island for multiple settings and the island's volcanic landscape also doubled for the [[planet]] [[Sarn (planet)|Sarn]]. Grimwade had trouble writing for the setting, having never been there. [[John Nathan-Turner]] denied his request to accompany the select members of the crew to the island.
