* The story opens in black and white, with a scene featuring the Second Doctor and Jamie, which then gradually transitions to colour. This is a homage to Patrick Troughton's era on ''Doctor Who'', which was shot in monochromatic format. | * The story opens in black and white, with a scene featuring the Second Doctor and Jamie, which then gradually transitions to colour.

* The prop used for the Second Doctor's TARDIS console unit is the same one used by the Fifth Doctor throughout the [[Season 19|first]] [[Season 20|two]] seasons of his tenure. It was brought out for this particular serial due to the need of a "retro" console unit for the Second Doctor's TARDIS, and the budget could not accommodate for a rebuilding of the original 1963 console prop (which had already deteriorated to the point of uselessness by the 1970s). Consequentially, this story marks the final televised appearance of the prop. | * The prop used for the Second Doctor's TARDIS console unit is the same one used by the Fifth Doctor throughout the [[Season 19|first]] [[Season 20|two]] seasons of his tenure.

* 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 Brown|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 (TV story)|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.
