Though this ability was first implied in ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'', the Daleks' groundedness was a recurring source of mockery among fans and even served as the butt of a joke in ''[[Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)|Destiny of the Daleks]]''. From this story until ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'', all televised appearances of the Daleks would feature them levitating. | * This is the first Dalek story to explicitly show a Dalek that is capable of levitation.

Other names were adapted from ''The Loved One'', in particular Mr Jobel from Waugh's odious mortician Mr Joyboy.
