* [[Producer]] [[Ian Atkins]] originally considered an idea for a Dalek story in ''[[The Second Doctor: Volume One]]'' but could not find a place for it in the box set while it focused on an arc about [[Jamie McCrimmon]]. Later, Atkins worked with [[Peter Purves]] on a ''[[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]]'' installment and considered revisiting the idea with Steven instead of Jamie. ([[VOR 100]])

* [[Writer]] [[David Bartlett]] claimed the psychological dynamic between Steven and the Dalek was inspired by the writing style of [[David Whitaker]]. The external threat of the Chaons was inspired more by the style of [[Terry Nation]]. ([[BFX]]: ''Across the Darkened City'') He considered that the heavier Whitaker influence meant that the story did not feel entirely like one from the [[William Hartnell|Hartnell]] era, but felt this approach still worked as "a sort of prelude to what was to come later."

* Bartlett watched the last episode of ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'' and the entirety of ''[[The Time Meddler (TV story)|The Time Meddler]]'' to get a feel for Steven's early characterisation. He also listened to a number of early Dalek story soundtrack CDs to get a sense of what kind of dialogue worked for the Daleks and what did not. ([[VOR 100]])
