* Filming was hampered at times by unseasonably cold and snowy weather, and on other occasions by heavy rains. As a result, the ground became extremely muddy, and the prop tunnel entrance constructed by the BBC design team started to sink; [[Ian Briggs]] also had to rewrite some of his dialogue to account for the conditions. During Ace's seduction scene, her line "Too hot, the clothes are sticking to me", had to be changed because it brought laughter from the crew in the cold weather. | * Filming was hampered at times by unseasonably cold and snowy weather, and on other occasions by heavy rains.

* When the Doctor, Ace and Reverend Wainwright are inside [[St Jude's Church|St. Jude's Church]] and the Haemovores descend upon them, the Doctor notices the water on the floor by the door but the Reverend assures him that it's because the church has a leaky roof when it rains and a strong eastern wind. The Doctor refutes this saying the wind is westward that day and it's not raining, despite the fact that it is raining earlier and a little later for the rest of the story. The Doctor also uses his [[umbrella]] as a proper umbrella when it does rain in part two to stop himself and Ace getting wet. | * When the Doctor, Ace and Reverend Wainwright are inside [[St Jude's Church|St. Jude's Church]] and the Haemovores descend upon them, the Doctor notices the water on the floor by the door but the Reverend assures him that it's because the church has a leaky roof when it rains and a strong eastern wind.
