 * [[Colin Baker]] stated that this was his favourite episode to make, mainly because he got the chance to work with [[Patrick Troughton]].
 * [[Peter Moffatt]] wasn't happy with the amount of violence in the script, while [[Robert Holmes]] was unhappy with the direction, saying that it could have been more horrific and Oscar's death should have been tragic rather than comedic. [[Eric Saward]] thought the story was poorly directed.
-* The prop used for the Second Doctor's TARDIS console unit is the same one used by the [[Fifth Doctor]] throughout the first two seasons of his tenure. It was brought out for this particular serial due to the need of a "retro" console unit for the Second Doctor's TARDIS, and the budget could not accommodate for a rebuilding of the original 1963 console prop (which had already deteriorated to the point of uselessness by the 1970s). Consequentially, this story marks the final televised appearance of the prop.
 * According to [[Nicola Bryant]], part of the <em>[[Top of the Pops]]</em> set was used to construct of the bowels of Space Station Chimera.
 * According to [[Colin Baker]], [[Jacqueline Pearce]] came up with the scene where Chessene tastes the Doctor's blood on location.
