After Elizabeth Sladen told the production team she wanted to leave early in the next season, [[Douglas Camfield]] was commissioned to write ''The Lost Legion'', which would see Sarah killed at its conclusion. However, Holmes was unhappy with the script and, in a turn of fate, decided that ''The Hand of Fear'' might have to be used as a replacement.
