* The death of Dr Quinn differs from the televised version. On-screen, Quinn is killed by the captive Silurian and the Doctor discovers his body. Right after, he runs into the escaped Silurian, cautiously greets it, and tries to convince it to explain its situation to the humans. In the novelisation, Quinn is talking with Miss Dawson when the Silurian (Morka) burns down the door of the store room he is locked in. When Quinn tries to talk to him, Morka kills him and knocks out Dawson and escapes. Dr Meredith later comes to the cottage searching for the recently-escaped Major Barker and finds Quinn's body. He then finds Dawson has succumbed to her race memories and is drawing pictures of Silurians and animals on the walls from the ash of the burnt door. | * The death of Dr Quinn differs from the televised version.

* At the end, the Doctor is planning to meet the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] and convince him to go to the [[United Nations]] about sharing Earth with the Silurians.
