* While listed as a single story, this story and the three others that make up ''The Trial of a Time Lord'' are in fact one long story with fourteen parts. This makes it the longest ''Doctor Who'' story ever, with the second being ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan]]'', which has twelve parts. | * While listed as a single story, this story and the three others that make up ''The Trial of a Time Lord'' are in fact one long story with fourteen parts.

* In an interview in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 448|448]], ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'' author [[Glen McCoy]] said that he came up with the idea of the Doctor being put on trial. | * In an interview in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 448|448]], ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'' author [[Glen McCoy]] said that he came up with the idea of the Doctor being put on trial. | ||
* This was the debut for performance for [[Michael Jayston]] and [[Lynda Bellingham]] as [[the Valeyard]] and [[the Inquisitor]], respectively. | |||
** Jayston's first line in the role of the Valeyard was: "At last, Doctor." | |||

* Beginning with this story, all exteriors would be recorded using Outside Broadcast video, rather than film as had usually been the practice for the previous 22 years. The use of OB for exteriors would continue for the remainder of the original series, until its end in 1989. | * Beginning with this story, all exteriors would be recorded using Outside Broadcast video, rather than film as had usually been the practice for the previous 22 years.

* The filmed insert that begins part one of a special effects sequence involving the TARDIS and [[Space Station Zenobia|the space station]] would be the last shot-on-film footage made for ''Doctor Who'' until the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|1996 TV movie]]. Ironically, the Fox network recycled this footage for its promotional advertisements for the film (even though it wasn't included in the movie). The series revival from 2005 to the present uses videotape which is later processed to look like film, though small parts have been shot on film. <!--Specifically, some shots of the Nestene lair exploding in "Rose" were shot on 16mm film according to the "Destroying the Lair" DVD featurette, the close-up of the spacecraft hitting Big Ben in "Aliens of London", and the flying monks in "Tooth and Claw". --> | * The filmed insert that begins part one of a special effects sequence involving the TARDIS and [[Space Station Zenobia|the space station]] would be the last shot-on-film footage made for ''Doctor Who'' until the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|1996 TV movie]].
