 *Much of the dialogue is slightly different from the original version but the the information delivered is still the same - the wording is simply altered.
-*[[Gordon Lowery|Lowery]] mentions the [[Dalek-Movellan War|Movellan War]] when [[Marc Cory|Cory]] asks him what he knows of the Daleks, where he originally said that the Daleks invaded Earth. The whole concept of the [[Movellan]]s and their war with the Daleks was not part of the TV series until ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]'' during the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s era. The reference to the conflict here helps date it approximately 1000 years before the [[41st century]].
+*When [[Marc Cory|Cory]] asks [[Gordon Lowery|Lowery]] what he knows of the Daleks, he mentions the [[Dalek-Movellan War|Movellan War]] and that the Daleks have invaded Earth a couple of times. The whole concept of the [[Movellan]]s and their war with the Daleks was not part of the TV series until ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]'' during the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s era. The reference to the conflict here helps date it approximately 1000 years before the [[41st century]].
 *Peel mentions the [[Dalek Prime]], an alternative of the [[Dalek Emperor]] for the never-produced [[War of the Daleks (TV story)|''War of the Daleks'' TV serial]], also proposed by Peel. The Dalek Prime appeared briefly for the first time in Peel's previous novelisation, ''[[The Chase (novelisation)|The Chase]]'' and would later do so again in his [[The Evil of the Daleks (novelisation)|novelisation]] of ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (TV story)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'' (as the Dalek Emperor) and finally in the ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'' novel and a mention in ''[[Legacy of the Daleks (novel)|Legacy of the Daleks]]''. Although the Dalek Prime is mentioned here, its second appearance would not happen until the [[The Mutation of Time|second volume]] of the ''Master Plan'' novelisation.
 *Some of the descriptions of the delegates are apparently different from how they appeared on-screen. For example, [[Trantis]] is described as "a somewhat faceless creature with an [[egg]]-shaped head", even though on TV he has a fairly human appearance, save for his jagged teeth and eventual tendrils.
