''The Dalek Invasion of Earth'' saw [[Susan Foreman|Susan]] part company with the Doctor, the first of his [[companion]]s to leave. She does not reappear on television until ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''. During filming, [[William Hartnell]] fell after the ramp of the [[Dalek Flying Saucer]] collapsed. Although he was temporarily paralysed, he returned after just a week's bed-rest.
