Please also remember to directly quote people, or to exactly characterise their statements. Do not say that someone said something when they really didn't.

Remember, a part of the production team's job is to tell the truth, but only very narrowly. So this page should contain only what they exactly say.

Not every person who worked on this adventure was credited. The absence of a credit for a position doesn't necessarily mean the job wasn't required. The information above is based solely on observations of the actual end credits of the episodes as broadcast, and does not relay information from IMDB or other sources.
          

Though not credited in any way, Mat Irvine did help considerably with the operation of K9 for this episode. In the DVD commentary, Phil Collinson acknowledges Irvine as the "operator of the original K9 prop", as seen in the very last scene of the episode, and admitting that the original prop had been stored in Irvine's garage and was found especially for this scene.  This episode marked a big change in the make-up department, with Barbara Southcott becoming the more-or-less permanent make-up designer on the show. Also, Millennium Effects became "Millennium FX" with this episode, and have been credited thus since.  Guido Cerasuolo's actual credit is "Line Producer Italy".  Ernie Vincze's surname is misspelled as "Vince" in the credits as originally transmitted.  This was the first episode of the BBC Wales series to have two credited script editors. Oddly, Emma Freud was credited at the end of the roll, suggesting she was considered more "senior" than Brian Minchin.  As on The Vampires of Venice, Patrick Schweitzer was double-credited as both producer and line producer.  This episode marked the Doctor Who debut of production designer Michael Pickwoad, the BBC Wales debut of costume designer Barbara Kidd, and the first time that something like twenty team members had been credited for their work on Doctor Who. It was the biggest sea change of behind-the-scenes personnel in BBC Wales history, much bigger, in fact, than the changes that had occurred with The Eleventh Hour

In CON: Charlie McDonnell - Runner, Jay Harley — then credited under their deadname — was described as a runner, and even depicted as delivering tea to cast and crew. However, they're credited here as an "assistant director", albeit lower than the 3rd AD, which does still essentially mean that they were a runner. 

This is the first episode of the BBC Wales series in which the title "Script Editor" is not used.  This story had no direct Visual Effects credit, which means that it unusually didn't credit The Mill. Instead, the roll credited many more workers from The Mill than usual, and even changed Will Cohen's normal title to the grander, "Executive Visual FX Producer".  Rhys Jones is credited as a "Prop Chargehand" rather than a "Props Chargehand".  No Ood actually appear in this episode, but they receive a creator credit.  Jay Harley was credited under their deadname as assistant director.  • The Tenth Planet was written by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis •  Note: Standby art director Ifan Lewis was erroneously credited as "Ifan Lewis Lewis"
