'''''The Seeds of Death''''' was the fifth serial of [[Season 6 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 6]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It saw the second appearance of the [[Ice Warrior]]s. They had been chosen for a reappearance shortly after broadcast of ''[[The Ice Warriors (TV story)|The Ice Warriors]]''. The monsters had been popular, and it was hoped this would justify the high costs of their costumes. Of visual interest was Ferguson's use of point-of-view and angled shots. | '''''The Seeds of Death''''' was the fifth serial of [[Season 6 (Doctor Who 1963)|season 6]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.

It was also the final "base under siege" story of the Second Doctor's era, and the format would be rested before returning for [[Tom Baker]]'s era in a revised format. | ||
At the time it was written, Frazer Hines was considering leaving the show. He finally signed on for the season, apparently at Patrick Troughton's request. This meant Brian Hayles had trouble writing the script, a problem made worse when he was asked to leave the Doctor out of part four. He was unable to complete the script and [[Terrance Dicks]] rewrote much of the story, with Hayles' consent though Hayles still received full credit on-screen. Dicks brought in the Martian fleet and removed a sub-plot in which [[Gia Kelly]] was [[Hypnosis|hypnotised]]. | At the time it was written, Frazer Hines was considering leaving the show.
