While doing an [[alchemy]] demonstration for the Sheriff in Episode 3, the Doctor nearly blows himself up while mixing chemicals, leaving him absent for two episodes while Hartnell recovered from a short illness.
 
The [[Dalek (The Thief of Sherwood)|Daleks]] appeared in one of the first eight stories of this version of ''Doctor Who''; the tenth story was titled ''[[Planet of Giants]]'' and followed on from a [[cliffhanger]] in which the [[Fault locator (The Thief of Sherwood)|fault locator]] warned of a build-up of pressure within [[The Doctor's TARDIS (The Thief of Sherwood)|the TARDIS]].
