(Actually the dinosaurs is an Apatosaurus. The term "Brontosaurus" is only used because this was made in the 1970s, when it was believed Brontosaurus is a synonym for Apatosaurus, four decades before the 2015 discovery that they are in fact seperate species. The terms are used interchangeably in this story but Apatosaurus is noted to be the "correct" one. Outdated of course, but if we fixed outdated information we'd be a very different wiki.)

* At one point in ''Invasion'' part one, Sarah states she is twenty-three.

* From a certain point of view, Sarah is not really the Doctor's companion until the end of the story. She was merely on her way back to present day London after she stowed away in the TARDIS on its [[The Time Warrior (TV story)|previous voyage]]. Indeed, she at least feigns discomfort at the idea of travelling in the TARDIS again. The Doctor's offer to take Sarah to [[Florana]] leads into the next story ''[[Death to the Daleks]]''. This invitation, which included a long and vivid description of the wonders of Florana, prefigures a penchant of his [[Ninth Doctor|ninth]] and [[Tenth Doctor|tenth]] selves to describe a wonder of the universe in glorious detail to encourage a companion to stick around.
