* The story opens in black and white, with a scene featuring the Second Doctor and Jamie, which then gradually transitions to colour. This is a homage to Patrick Troughton's era on ''Doctor Who'', which was shot in monochromatic format. | * The story opens in black and white, with a scene featuring the Second Doctor and Jamie, which then gradually transitions to colour.

* This story, like many of [[Season 22]], was produced in forty-five minute episodes. When sold to other countries such as Australia and America, the episodes were edited into six twenty-five-minute episodes with new cliff-hangers added, [[Peri]]'s collapse on the space station for Part 1, Anita leading the Doctor to Chessene's hideout for Part 3 and the Doctor struggling against the [[Androgum]] [[gene]]s infecting his timeline for Part 5. Due to these international edits, in some countries this story is arguably the final six-part story instead of [[The Armageddon Factor]] or the unproduced [[Shada]]. | * This story, like many of [[Season 22]], was produced in forty-five minute episodes.

* The location shoot in Seville kicked off production. When the wigs constructed for the guest characters such as Chessene and Dastari were lost in transit, the actors had to be fitted for new wigs in Seville. These Spanish wigs were subsequently used for the studio shoot in England in order to keep continuity. The original wigs are, as far as is known, still missing to this day. | * The location shoot in Seville kicked off production.
