''The Hand of Fear'' was originally intended for the 1976 six-part slot that was taken by ''[[The Seeds of Doom (TV story)|The Seeds of Doom]]''.<ref name="sullivan">http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/4n.html</ref> It was inspired by the 1946 film {{wi|The Beast with Five Fingers}}. (DCOM: ''The Hand of Fear'') There were several versions of the script. One saw the [[hand]] as an advance guard preparing the way for an alien army. Another fixed upon two "Omegans" — representing the "hawk" and "dove" — working against humanity. There were plans for [[the Brigadier]] and [[Harry Sullivan]] to appear, with the former, much like in early drafts of ''[[Pyramids of Mars (TV story)|Pyramids of Mars]]'', bowing out from ''Who'' in a blaze of glory.
