* Discounting the Brigadier, this story has the distinction of marking the first time companions from different eras had met and interacted. This would occur only once more in the original series, in ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'' when [[Peri Brown|Peri]] and [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] meet. It has occurred several times in the 2005-present revival. | * Discounting the Brigadier, this story has the distinction of marking the first time companions from different eras had met and interacted.

* [[Terrance Dicks]]' original script had Sarah Jane arrive in the Death Zone amidst a ruined replica of a high street, where a collection of fallen mannequins was revealed to be a battalion of [[Auton]]s, leading to her rescue by the Third Doctor in Bessie. It was scrapped for being too long and costly and was replaced with Sarah falling down a hill. [[Eric Saward]] said afterwards simply, "It was a lot simpler," despite [[Elisabeth Sladen]] stating her embarrassment of it. | * [[Terrance Dicks]]' original script had Sarah Jane arrive in the Death Zone amidst a ruined replica of a high street, where a collection of fallen mannequins was revealed to be a battalion of [[Auton]]s, leading to her rescue by the Third Doctor in Bessie.

* This story was the first in which the [[Dalek]]s and the Cybermen both featured (though they did not meet). This would not occur again until the [[Series 2 (Doctor Who)|Series 2]] finale ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]''/''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'' in 2006 (excluding the Cyberman head seen in ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]''). They would feature in the same stories again in [[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'', [[GAME]]: ''[[Return to Earth (video game)|Return to Earth]]'', and [[GAME]]: ''[[The Mazes of Time (video game)|The Mazes of Time]]'', although ''The Five Doctors'' sees the only time the Mondasian Cybermen have featured in one such story. All the others appear to be the [[Cybus Industries|Cybus]] variant. | * This story was the first in which the [[Dalek]]s and the Cybermen both featured (though they did not meet).

* This marks the only time the [[Third Doctor]] ever comes close to meeting with the Cybermen on-screen. He only observes them, however, and avoids any encounter. He would meet them again in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Blue Tooth (audio story)|The Blue Tooth]]''. | * This marks the only time the [[Third Doctor]] ever comes close to meeting with the Cybermen on-screen.
