* [[Terrance Dicks]] was once asked how [[Patrick Troughton]] and [[Jon Pertwee]] got on and he jokingly replied "Not at all". Initially, the two clashed over differing acting styles and working methods — Troughton was fond of ad-libbing and goofing around, while Pertwee insisted on sticking to the script. After Pertwee questioned Troughton on one of his ad-libs, Troughton replied, "Instead of worrying about what I'm going to say, worry about what you're going to say." The two also quarreled over Pertwee's habit of moving [[Stephen Thorne]] slightly to get better camera angles for himself, something that Troughton objected to as he felt the camera was rightfully focusing on the monsters. The two eventually did become good friends and would play up a mock rivalry at conventions. This had knock-on effects ten years later during the making of[[The Five Doctors (TV story)| ''The Five Doctors,'']] with Dicks deliberately writing the script so that the Second and Third Doctors would not meet until everybody came together at the climax, which ended up disappointing both Troughton and Pertwee. | * [[Terrance Dicks]] was once asked how [[Patrick Troughton]] and [[Jon Pertwee]] got on and he jokingly replied "Not at all".

* The serial was originally scripted to end with the first mention of [[Metebelis Three]] (though originally scripted as [[Metebelis Four]]), as the Doctor was to invite Jo on a trip to see the planet. This would have originally set up the story arc that would weave all the way through the season to [[The Green Death|''The Green Death'']]'','' and beyond to ''[[Planet of the Spiders]]''. Due to time constraints, the line was cut, and the first mention of the attempts to travel to the Blue Planet would be in the next story. | * The serial was originally scripted to end with the first mention of [[Metebelis Three]] (though originally scripted as [[Metebelis Four]]), as the Doctor was to invite Jo on a trip to see the planet.
