* Chronologically, this is the earliest story to feature the Daleks and the Cybermen alongside each other.

It is also not the earliest story to be ''produced'' in which the Daleks and Cybermen appear side by side each other since, as it was [[2008 (releases)|released in 2008]], it was beaten to that position by [[TV]]: [[Doomsday (TV story)|''Doomsday'']] by [[2006 (releases)|two years]].

* Daleks are present in the TARDIS. Once more, ''The Ultimate Adventure'' is chronologically the earliest story in which this has happened.
