Sax had hoped to have all the Doctors appear in the Eye of Harmony, but could not get clearance on the images in time. Ultimately, the production went four days over schedule; even then some sequences were greatly simplified to save time, such as Chang Lee's death scene.

The Dalek voices were originally in keeping with the original series, but were changed over concerns they weren't audible enough. (Later, in 2013, Sax would say that he wished he had employed [[Nicholas Briggs]] for the Dalek voices, and that he would consider employing Briggs for future home video releases.) A new introductory voiceover by Paul McGann was written on [[2 April (production)|2 April]] to replace earlier dialogue by the Master (voiced by Gordon Tipple) and the Daleks. The BBC expressed concerns the Master's snake form was too comical, but little could be done about it at this stage. Segal lent a rough cut of the movie to Los Angeles-based fan [[Shaun Lyon]], organiser of the [[Gallifrey One]] conventions and editor of the [[Outpost Gallifrey]] website, to get his opinion. It was Lyon who caught several errors in the movie, most notably a reference to the Doctor having twelve lives. This was amended to the correct number, thirteen. | ||
Segal also had to deal with various claims for credit from individuals who had worked on earlier stages of the project. Despite the protests of Fox and Universal, Segal won agreement for John and Ros Hubbard to be credited, as they had indeed been the first to bring McGann to his attention. John Leekley's case for a producer's credit was rejected, however, because virtually nothing remained of his work. | Segal also had to deal with various claims for credit from individuals who had worked on earlier stages of the project.
