* Writer [[Ian Briggs]] based the character of Dr. [[Judson]] on [[Alan Turing]]. (The "ULTIMA machine" of the story is based on the real Bombe machine built to crack the encryption of the Enigma machine.) In an interview for the DVD release of this story, Briggs said that, since at that time it was not considered appropriate to depict a character's struggle with [[homosexuality]] in a family programme, he transformed Turing's frustration at being unable to express his true sexual identity into Judson's frustration at being crippled. The intended backstory was that Judson and Millington were gay lovers in the past and that Millington crippled Judson in a rugby match when he saw him exchanging a look with another boy. This made it into the novelisation. | * Writer [[Ian Briggs]] based the character of Dr. [[Judson]] on [[Alan Turing]].

* Ace mentions to Kathleen [[Gabriel Chase|an old house]] in [[Perivale]], which the Doctor overhears. Originally, this was supposed to be a foreshadowing of the events of ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'', but the rearranging of the broadcast schedule turned it into a reference to a past, unseen adventure. Also, the Doctor starts off the story in a duffel coat that hid his altered outfit which was supposed to be revealed for the first time during the course of this story. This too was affected by the rearranging of the schedule, as the new outfit had already been seen in ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]''. | * Ace mentions to Kathleen [[Gabriel Chase|an old house]] in [[Perivale]], which the Doctor overhears.
