Behind the scenes

• His name was spelt "Zbrigniev" in the episode credits and in the novelisation. However, his name was actually pronounced as "Zbigniew," a real Polish name, in the serial itself, indicating a disconnect between auctorial intent and production reality.
  • Also, Zbigniew was stated to have been killed by Mordred when the latter and Morgaine attempted to kidnap the nuclear missile.
• His name is spelled "Zbregniev" in the short story UNIT Christmas Parties: First Christmas.
