Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
It is uncertain whether the term "Marinian" refers to the species which had previously been referred to as the Arbitans or if it is an umbrella term for the "many races of men" as mentioned by Yartek, a Voord. In the serial The Keys of Marinus a Voord was described as a "man" while in the novelisation the Voord were called "creatures" and "sub-humans."
