Like ''[[The Ark in Space (TV story)|The Ark in Space]]'' earlier in the season, ''Revenge'' went through a difficult scripting process. Davis' original plot bore almost no resemblance to the transmitted episode, with the action taking place on a deserted space casino. More rewriting from Davis followed, and the action now largely took place on [[Nerva Beacon]]. However, the script included no [[Vogan (Revenge of the Cybermen)|Vogans]], with their place being taken by a group of half-starved Welsh gold miners. [[Script editor]] [[Robert Holmes]] largely rewrote the episodes. Holmes added the Vogans and got rid of the human gold miners entirely, as well as a female member of the Nerva crew named Anitra.
