* 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 one (another version had the voice of Space Station Camera's computer stating "It threatened the Time Lords"), Anita offering to lead the Doctor to Chessene's hideout for part three and the Doctor struggling against the [[Androgum]] [[gene]]s infecting his timeline, confirming he is all right "for the moment" for part five. 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 (TV story)|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 [[wig]]s 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.

* This is the last serial of the 1963-89 series to be filmed on the European continent, ending an occasional tradition that had begun with [[TV]]: ''[[City of Death]]'' and continued in [[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[Planet of Fire]]''.

The revived series returned to [[Spain]] again for the filming of [[TV]]: ''[[A Town Called Mercy]]'' in 2012, though the story was set in [[Nevada]]. | * This is the last serial of the 1963-89 series to be filmed on the European continent, ending an occasional tradition that had begun with [[TV]]: ''[[City of Death]]'' and continued in [[TV]]: ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[Planet of Fire]]''.
