Story notes

  • It was the first BBC-produced Doctor Who television story that wasn't a charity special since Search Out Space.
  • At the end of this featurette, a telephone number, 071 757 7047, was given on-screen (which has been edited out for DVD) for anyone interested in joining UNIT. Those who did call the number heard a recorded message from Nicholas Courtney in character as the Brigadier, who congratulated the caller on passing what was actually a UNIT initiative test, before announcing the news that The Green Death was to be repeated on BBC Two in the New Year. (Please note: the aforementioned telephone number is now no longer valid.)

Home media

  • It was released as an extra on the DVD releases of Spearhead from Space and Spearhead from Space: Special Edition.
