* [[Michael Wisher]], who had played the original Davros in [[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'', was unavailable to reprise his role, as he was appearing in ''The Dame of Sark'', so he was replaced by [[Terry Molloy]]. Molloy studied Wisher's approach to Davros to ensure a level of consistency. The mask originally worn by Wisher, and adapted for [[David Gooderson]], was too large for Molloy, and so a new mask was created using a cast of Molloy's head. | * [[Michael Wisher]], who had played the original Davros in [[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'', was unavailable to reprise his role, as he was appearing in ''The Dame of Sark'', so he was replaced by [[Terry Molloy]].

* This story has an unusually high body count, even for ''Doctor Who, ''at 76. Besides the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough, only Davros, Lytton and his two policemen survive. (The Dalek Supreme is technically not destroyed on-screen but was almost certainly on the Dalek ship at the time of its destruction, since there appears to have been no opportunity for it to have departed the scene.) Much of the violence appears gratuitous, such as the murder of Laird, the killing of a crew member infected by a disease, and the shooting of the man with the metal detector whose attention Tegan tries to attract. | * This story has an unusually high body count, even for ''Doctor Who, ''at 76.

* This story was never officially novelised during the original run of [[Target Books]] due to unsuccessful negotiations with [[Eric Saward]], as well as [[Terry Nation]]'s agent Roger Hancock. However, Saward later novelised the story for BBC Books in [[2019 (releases)|2019]]. | * This story was never officially novelised during the original run of [[Target Books]] due to unsuccessful negotiations with [[Eric Saward]], as well as [[Terry Nation]]'s agent Roger Hancock.

* The story was the first of three consecutive serials, along with ''[[Planet of Fire (TV story)|Planet of Fire]]'' and ''[[The Caves of Androzani (TV story)|The Caves of Androzani]]'', that saw the departure of one of the season's regular cast members.
