=== Details from script release ===
* The [[bullet train]] [[Cold opening|pre-credits]] sequence has many changes:<ref name="Script">https://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/documents/doctor-who-the-power-of-the-doctor-chris-chibnall.pdf</ref>
** The [[CyberMaster]]s entered in the wrong carriage because [[Train Marshal]] [[Halaz]] deliberately shuffled the carriages.<ref name="Script" />
** On the train, Dan and Yaz reminded the Doctor that she forgot to tell them the plan.<ref name="Script" />
** When Dan's helmet got hit, his face got suctioned toward the rupture and his nose plugged the gap.<ref name="Script" />
* Dan's departure speech was completely different, with the Doctor giving a response.<ref name="Script" />
* During its first meeting with the Doctor, the [[Dalek traitor]] revealed more of its background such as identifying itself as an [[elite biological combat engineer]] whose mission was to devise strategies to ameliorate any Dalek defeat in battle, its work resulting in a [[genetic code]] which was to activate and self-execute [[Dalek creature]]s in the event of a threat to Dalek supremacy in battle, causing their [[casing]]s to flood with toxic [[radiation]] and detonate, fatally damaging all enemies within a broad [[radius]].<ref name="Script" />
* To start the ''Rasputin'' song, the original scene had the CyberMasters activate panels on their arms and the Master used an old [[iPod]] to play the music instead of the [[Tissue Compression Eliminator|TCE]].<ref name="Script" />
* Originally, three planets were at war instead of two and the devastation would be seen up close.<ref name="Script" />
* The [[Eighth Doctor]] [[Guardians of the Edge|Guardian]] was seen as a separate figure instead of being part of the one figure in the final version.<ref name="Script" />
* The original script had the Master arrive in the [[Tunguska province|Tunguska]] forest in [[Russia]] in [[30 June]], [[1908]]. Additionally it had a whole scene with a Russian woman watching in horror as the "first experiment" with the [[Cyber-planet (The Power of the Doctor)|cyber-planet]] went wrong and squashed many miles of forest. The Master claimed he sent himself to [[Siberia]] as "punishment".<ref name="Script" />
* Tegan was seen more heavily injured after her fall, with an injured her ankle and wrist, whereas she only had a slight limp in the final version.<ref name="Script" />
* The feedback was revealed to only have knocked [[Ashad]] unconscious and an additional scene showed Ashad wandering the [[UNIT HQ|UNIT]] hallways as the building collapsed around him.<ref name="Script" />
* The original script had a scene, set after he was returned to his old body, with the Master as [[Grigori Rasputin]] meeting with Russian [[Prince]] [[Yusopov]], who, in keeping with historical fact, would have "Rasputin" shot and put in a sack by two henchmen to be dumped in the river, only the bullets were not seen hitting.<ref name="Script" />
* During the [[Companion Support Group]] scene in the script the laptop was suggested to be for [[Martha Jones]], [[Ryan Sinclair]] or, somehow, [[Jackie Tyler]].<ref name="Script" />
* The Thirteenth Doctor's final scene in the script was originally different, with the Doctor sitting rather than standing, and her last lines being switched around, with her final words being, "''I bet it's going to be brilliant.''", echoing back to her first words "''Oh, brilliant.''" in {{cite source|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}}.<ref>https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a41748744/doctor-who-jodie-whittaker-final-line-different/</ref><ref name="Script" />
* Due to the fact that [[Chris Chibnall]] did not know anything about the future of ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]'', the [[regeneration]] scene was initially left open ended, with the last shot being the Doctor mid-regeneration.<ref name="Script" />
