Notes

• The Doctor builds a ray gun which he tests and uses to destroy the mechanical spider with the Master of Spiders inside it, presumably killing him. This conflicts with the Doctor's pacifism seen in other stories.
• This story was ridiculed in the Wotcha! column of DWM 453 for its inaccurate portrayal of the Second Doctor, especially the line, "Die, hideous creature. Die!"
