However, [[script editor]] [[Robert Holmes]] took issue with its complexity and commissioned another script to be the final story of [[season 13]], should this remain unresolved. Finally, in [[October (production)|October]] [[1975 (production)|1975]], ''The Hand of Fear'' was officially delayed and ''The Seeds of Doom'' was produced in its place.

After Elizabeth Sladen told the production team she wanted to leave early in the next season, [[Douglas Camfield]] was commissioned to write ''The Lost Legion'', which would see Sarah killed at its conclusion. However, Holmes was unhappy with the script and, in a turn of fate, decided that ''The Hand of Fear'' might have to be used as a replacement. With [[UNIT]] and degenerating-humans removed from the plot, [[Bob Baker]] and [[Dave Martin]] produced a more linear story. Camfield fell behind on his own script and was discounted. Baker and Martin left the writing of Sarah's farewell scene to Holmes though it was subsequently rewritten by Sladen and [[Tom Baker]].
