* The bars of the Monk's trap in the monastery are made from rusted iron rather than pared wood. | * The bars of the Monk's trap in the monastery are made from rusted iron rather than pared wood. | ||
* The Doctor and the Monk are said to recognise one another instantaneously. This is not strictly contradicted by the televised story, but not supported by it either. The only thing we have to go on in the televised the story is the Doctor's rather ambiguous comment about being "fifty years earlier" than the Monk. However, in the television serials [[The Daleks' Master Plan|''The Daleks' Master Plan'']], the Monk states that the Doctor and he knew each other. | * The Doctor and the Monk are said to recognise one another instantaneously.

* The Monk cooks his prisoner's breakfast using a Baby Belling stove, a non-stick frying pan, rusty toaster and a stainless steel spatula, all the while whistling a tune that won't be written for another nine centuries. The meal is toast, eggs, bacon (with the option of tomato sauce), and a side of instant coffee. It's this meal that is thrown back into the Monk's face through the viewing hatch in the cell door, rather than the water used on television. | * The Monk cooks his prisoner's breakfast using a Baby Belling stove, a non-stick frying pan, rusty toaster and a stainless steel spatula, all the while whistling a tune that won't be written for another nine centuries.

* Vicki and Steven discuss the Monk's plan as they did in the televised version, but the Doctor interrupts them and describes what the Monk's plan will do to them. Since Vicki and Steven are both English, the Doctor states clearly if the Monk succeeds in his plan then they will never have existed because without the Vikings' involvement, it's possible one of their ancestors was Norman and if that ancestor is killed they could not exist. | * Vicki and Steven discuss the Monk's plan as they did in the televised version, but the Doctor interrupts them and describes what the Monk's plan will do to them.
