** Hartnell was too ill to play a more active role in the story. Instead, his scenes were filmed in Ealing Television Film Studios while he read his lines from cue cards. The script was rewritten with the explanation that the [[First Doctor]] was stuck in a [[time eddy]] due to the power drain caused by [[Omega]]. As for the brief scene where the Time Lords see the First Doctor on their monitor, that was filmed in William Hartnell's garden. | ** Hartnell was too ill to play a more active role in the story.
