* The production text on ''The Ambassadors of Death'' DVD revealed that Reegan and his gang were originally Irish, and suggests it was changed after the Troubles started: "All in all, it might not have been the best moment to show Irish hoodlums planning to deploy a powerful new weapon." | * The production text on ''The Ambassadors of Death'' DVD revealed that Reegan and his gang were originally Irish, and suggests it was changed after the Troubles started: "All in all, it might not have been the best moment to show Irish hoodlums planning to deploy a powerful new weapon." | ||
* The story was made entirely on colour videotape. However, up until 2011, the tapes were lost and the story only available in black and white. Countless restoration attempts failed until the Restoration Team re-colourised the story using the technique they used on episode three of ''[[Planet of the Daleks]]''. | * The story was made entirely on colour videotape.

* The [[TARDIS console]] prop is shown for the first time outside of the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] itself. Since the TARDIS had been temporarily "shelved" as a plot device, so had the elements of the console room set, which were placed in storage. The console was pulled out for studio recording in [[February]] [[1970]]. Now seven years in use, it had suffered a degree of wear and tear, requiring the addition of replacement knobs and buttons for those that had fallen off. It would make its last appearance in the following serial, [[TV]]: ''[[Inferno (TV story)|Inferno]]'' before the prop's damage was diagnosed as extensive enough to warrant a redesign. | |||
