* [[Kamelion]] appears for the first time since ''[[The King's Demons (TV story)|The King's Demons]]'' the previous season; complications involving the robot model prevented him from appearing in other episodes, although a scene was filmed for ''[[The Awakening (TV story)|The Awakening]]'' but edited out before transmission. Kamelion's "death" makes him the fourth known companion to die while travelling with the Doctor, following [[Katarina]], [[Sara Kingdom]], and [[Adric]]. | * [[Kamelion]] appears for the first time since ''[[The King's Demons (TV story)|The King's Demons]]'' the previous season; complications involving the robot model prevented him from appearing in other episodes, although a scene was filmed for ''[[The Awakening (TV story)|The Awakening]]'' but edited out before transmission.

* This is the only televised Fifth Doctor story not to visually contain [[Tegan Jovanka]]. The Doctor's reference to Tegan at the beginning of part one means that she was technically a part of every single one of his television stories in some way. This also occurred with [[Peri Brown | * This is the only televised Fifth Doctor story not to visually contain [[Tegan Jovanka]]. The Doctor's reference to Tegan at the beginning of part one means that she was technically a part of every single one of his television stories in some way. This also occurred with [[Peri Brown]], who appeared (or, if you discount ''[[Season 23|The Trial of a Time Lord]]'' as as a single story, either appeared or was mentioned) in every [[Sixth Doctor]] story, [[Rose Tyler]], who appeared in every episode during the [[Ninth Doctor]] era, and [[Yasmin Khan|Yas]] with the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]. | ||
* This was the final serial to feature a male companion until the series revival in 2005. Turlough was the last regular male companion seen on screen — barring the guest returns of [[Jamie McCrimmon]] in ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)]]'' and [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] in ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'' in 1989 — until [[Adam Mitchell]] appeared in the two stories [[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[The Long Game (TV story)|The Long Game]]'' in 2005. However, there were several non-televised male companions to have travelled with the Doctor in other media between Turlough and Adam, including [[Frobisher]], [[Thomas Brewster]], [[Hex]] and [[C'rizz]]. | * This was the final serial to feature a male companion until the series revival in 2005.

* The departure of Turlough and the destruction of [[Kamelion]] mark the end of an almost seven-year span of stories featuring at least one non-human companion. It began with the introduction of the robot dog [[K9 Mark I]] in [[TV]]: ''[[The Invisible Enemy (TV story)|The Invisible Enemy]]'' in 1977. The other non-human companions who travelled with the Doctor in the interim were [[K9 Mark II]], the [[Romana I|first]] and [[Romana II|second incarnations]] of the [[Time Lord|Time Lady]] [[Romana]], the [[Alzarian]] [[Adric]] and the [[Trakenite]] [[Nyssa]]. Turlough and Kamelion would be the final non-human companions to appear in a televised ''Doctor Who'' story, until the guest reappearance of [[K9 Mark III]] in [[TV]]: ''[[School Reunion (TV story)|School Reunion]]'' in 2006. Turlough would also be the last non-human companion and last male companion to travel alone with the Doctor until [[Nardole]] became a companion in [[TV]]: ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]].'' | * The departure of Turlough and the destruction of [[Kamelion]] mark the end of an almost seven-year span of stories featuring at least one non-human companion.
