* [[Jeffry Wickham]] recorded all of his scenes up to Webster's death on the first morning. Assuming that [[Henric Hirsch]] had no further need of him, he left to meet a friend for lunch and drinks, only to learn that he still had to play Webster's corpse during the afternoon. Under the influence of the alcohol he had consumed, Wickham fell asleep during the filming, and woke after several hours to find the studio deserted. | * [[Jeffry Wickham]] recorded all of his scenes up to Webster's death on the first morning.

* Before writing this serial, [[Dennis Spooner]] expressed an interest in writing a science fiction story, but [[David Whitaker]] wanted another historical. Spooner was presented with four possible subjects and after carrying out research at a library, Spooner told Whitaker about his preference to write a story set in the French Revolution. | |||
* Some scenes required a live horse in the studio. Fortunately, the horse chosen was familiar with television work and wasn't frightened by gunfire. [[Carole Ann Ford]] was an avid horse lover and loved working with the animal. | |||
* [[Carole Ann Ford]]'s daughter visited the set and refused to speak to [[Jack Cunningham]], because he was responsible for "locking mummy up". | |||
* The scene where the travellers return to the TARDIS by a horse-drawn carriage was taken from the film ''The French Revolution,'' which was provided by Gateway Films. | |||
* Some of the locations were scouted by [[Timothy Combe]], who looked for locations that were "French looking" and ideally had trees growing in the area. | |||
