* During the making of ''[[The Mind Robber (TV story)|The Mind Robber]]'', Frazer caught chicken pox from his nephew. [[Hamish Wilson]], who looked very unlike him, filled in for him. The justification for this formed part of the plot of the story. A persistent myth (debunked by the episode notes) describes the latter actor as Frazer's cousin. However, Frazer's brother, [[Ian Hines]], has a small role in the story as one of the Clockwork Soldiers. | * During the making of ''[[The Mind Robber (TV story)|The Mind Robber]]'', Frazer caught chicken pox from his nephew.

* Jamie was to depart in a Season 6 story called ''[[The Laird of McCrimmon (TV story)|The Laird of McCrimmon]]'', which would have been set in 18th century Scotland and seen the return of the [[Great Intelligence]] and the Yeti. However, this was never made due to a dispute between the BBC and [[Mervyn Haisman]] and [[Henry Lincoln]], the creators of the Intelligence and the Yeti, over the rights to the [[Quark]]s. Frazer's agent wanted him to leave the show, but Patrick persuaded Frazer, who was reluctant to leave, that they would depart together. | * Jamie was to depart in a Season 6 story called ''[[The Laird of McCrimmon (unproduced TV story)|The Laird of McCrimmon]]'', which would have been set in 18th century Scotland and seen the return of the [[Great Intelligence]] and the Yeti.
